Ive been sending the 65KTHB was required monthly (from US) in order to get the 800K bunked back after the first year - which cycles around mid-January 2025.

It sure seems like many people have written to be incoming the same day every month or very close (and once it was 5 days from that) or very likely rejected - ie I wouldn’t be able to drop the requirement of keeping 800K after a year - is that true?

Also that they want to see it as looking like a pension amount - regularly deposited and sent out - and sometimes I put it in in several deposits the same day (like 35K + 10K + 20K) simply because Wise wouldn’t allow the whole 65K to go through at once except several days later.

So that also makes me wonder about the likelihood of them making me keep the 800K in another year

Is it necessary to pay around 7000 baht to open a bank account in all banks in Thailand or does only Bangkok bank charge this fee?

Can you open Bank Account with DTV?

What documents do we need?

Thanks.

I would like to ask if anyone has successfully applied for a Thai bank card with a DTV visa. If so, which bank did you apply for it from?

Whick bank will give you an account so you can transfer

Money from abroad for O visa? SCB no. Kasakorn. No.

Good morning everyone. I’m on dtv and luckily have a bank account with Bangkok Bank since 2018. unfortunately my home branch is in a town in isaan and i live in Bangkok now. So i thought i give it a try and just went into a random branch. Of course, they didn’t find DTV on the list but after some calls she said can open just need letter embassy. Does anyone know what this might be

Update a few hours later: I got a call back from a bank employee. She said just show something with a stamp from the embassy with my name on it. She was pretty honest and said bring documents they don’t even ask for. Like driving licenses, rental contracts. After a few minutes of looking at paperwork, they might just open the account. She agreed that their rules are somewhat weird and confusing and I shouldn’t just try again 😂

Update 2: the embassy sent me instructions how to order a Staatsangehörigkeits- und Anmeldebestätigung ( english: proof of citizenship and registration as swiss living in Thailand) from the ministry of foreign affairs online which i ordered now and will receive by post. I will ask them for permission to post it here to show you all as an example

Hello everyone, I have a thai bank account that I opened while staying with ED visa. I want to know if it'll be closed when I apply for DTV visa. Anyone Same Condition?

1 of my main concerns is that I have a few different accounts that I keep my money in and I would have to transfer the amount of 500K equivalent into 1 bank account, therefore I would not be able to give 3 or 6 months statements showing 500K but I would be able to show the full amount on the day of applying.Any recommendations on where I could apply and this would not be a problem? Is there anyone else that was in a similar situation?

Hi everyone, even though I have Non O visa, a letter from the owner of the place I’m staying and everything else you can think of, I’m having a hard time opening a bank account in Nakhon Pathom. If need be, can I open an account in Bangkok with a Nakhon Pathom address? Thanks

Some advice please when I apply for non immigration visa do I need to show 800,000 in my account to start with? Yes over 50
