Hello everyone, planning to apply DTV soon and I want to ask if I should use my active Thai bank account (use it for daily) or an inactive one that i used to receive salary from previous job?

I want to use an active one but I'm worried it might get reported since dtv visa dont allow ownership of local bank acc thx

I nam American, married to Thai woman. Vast majority of assets in USA. I am curious in general terms how people in similar situation are ensuring their spouse is taken care of when they pass away. Is there life insurance here in Thailand? Other methods?

Thanks.

Hi all , do people usually keep 2 separate Thai bank accounts, one for the 800000 baht / for visa and one for everyday?

A friend has just been refused renewal of his retirement Visa because 15 months previously the 800,000 was not in the bank for more than one day. This is because it was arranged by an agent in the pataya. I'm surprised that the government officer would think this was a problem. I would have thought they would only be interested in what money has been in your account for the previous 12 months. Can anyone offer advice on this?

Serious question.

No trolls or unhelpful comments.

How do you pay electricity and water bills without a bank account?

Ok, you have the DTV, what about the lack of a bank account. Someone mentioned the K bank TAGthai card or ewallet. A quick look at there site basically said visit a branch of the bank with cash and deposit into your TAG. The exchange rate looked a little light on and having to carry cash for the purpose, in my mind, defeats the purpose. How have others worked this out. Cheers Wazza

With DTV, remote worker Visa. Is it possible to get a Thai bank account? Need it because i bought a property and need to be able to anage the finances around it. Pay fees, taxes, rental income etc. Thanks

Guys, I have a planned house sale and I hope to keep a part of that money in my savings. With this, I will be eligible for this visa. However, should I wait for 3 months to apply for this visa? Since my money isn't 3 months old?

I also earn around 2800 EUR monthly

Thanks.

Question about the DTV (Digital / Soft Power Visa)

I live in Thailand and use Revolut for all spending.

My income lands in a Portuguese bank, then I transfer what I need to Revolut.

I just sent 500,000 THB to the Portuguese account.

Should I move it to Revolut, leave it in Portugal, or show both accounts when applying for DTV?

Do they care more about income source or spending history in Thailand?

If anyone already applied and knows what they look at, I’d appreciate the info.
