Regarding bank accounts.

[members only]

I have the DTV visa. I'm trying to open a TrueMoney account on my phone.

It seems that TrueMoney is blocking foreigner registrations. When you click "scan passport" it fails. But when you click "scan local Thai ID card" it works without issue.

Can anyone confirm this?

I just had my DTV revoked . originally it was paid for by my employer but I stopped working for them and they wrote to embassy to inform them I’m no longer contracted to them & had my DTV revoked

Hi, one issue which I think no one faced yet. I went to bkk immigration for the 90 day report, I went on 91 or 92 day, as I heard we can go till 1 week after. Also, at this time I was going home on 96th or 97th day, and had my flight booked, so was staying in bkk in hotels for 1 day at a time as left my condo, I got tm 30 from the hotel I was staying at, and they give me the tm30 for 1 day, the immigration supervisor said they cannot do that( i understood they wanted atleast 8-9 days stay more), and asked me no problem you go back since your going home within 7 days after 90 days. Wasted my whole day, but i couldn't do anything after that and came back home. So question is what should I do now, and when I re enter or apply for driving next time can there be a problem, if yes what's the solution

Have you all been getting your bank accounts closed if you had your account before you got your DTV? I’m scared to go into my branch and hand them my passport. I use my ibanking quite a bit. Any info on this? Is it in fact bangkok banks policy to close your account if you’re on a dtv?

I’m gonna try the drivers license trick. That is a god idea. Unfortunately I was just forced to renew a 5 year (my secomd 5 year) to a 2 year also due to Dtv. I wonder if the 2 year license will give them a heads up to request my passport?

Hello, French citizen, UAE resident who applied for DTV Thailand as remote worker. I have the sufficient fund in my French account and provided statement but the authorities came back with the following requirement : “Please upload your personal Bank Statement in UAE with a minimum amount no less than THB 500,000 within the last 3 months and ensure it is updated until July 2025.” What are my options as sending the fund to UAE would still not meet the requirement of 3 months.

I thought that the funds were linked to the individual not the country of application.

From my guess the first one is permanent address and second is current address?

PS: Both inputs are labelled as 'Home Address'

Account Suspension – Bank of Ayudhya

I’ve been overseas for the past 6 months and found my Krungsri account suspended. It seems to be due to not verifying that my phone number matches the account name (I never got around to it). Down 500 baht, not much but I bloody well want it back.

My Kasikorn account is still working fine.

Anyone else having access issues?

UPDATE: My Visa was officialy APPROVED on June 27, and then rejected on June 30. Applied from Ho Chi Minh. I posted about this on this community.

What happened: I contacted the HCM consulate on Line. You can see their answers on image.

Do you know what can I do ? This situation is very unfair. First, not only for this specific case but, not giving any reason for the rejection and encouring to reapply and pay again is a complete scam process. Second, I was granted the Visa, told my family, my friends in Thailand, already preparing my new life, to finally tell them I'm rejected ? I didn’t even get a chance to react or fix anything.

I’m currently in Vietnam but far from Ho Chi Minh, and I’m now stuck dealing with extra costs and confusion caused by their mistake. If I reapply can I reuse my translated bank documents (around 10/14 days old) ?

Hello,

I’ve been on a Tourist Visa for the last year and a half.

Spending 6 to 7 months in Phuket.

Previous to that I was on a retirement Visa when Covid happened in early 2022 so I could stay as I got a education visa at the beginning of covid.

I kept it for 2 years and went back to a Tourist visa.

I work in the UK as a tour leader, but this year is very quiet with lots of breaks between tours up to 17 days.

Normally I would work all year from late April and come back to Phuket in October.

This year in October I plan to get a marriage Visa.

However with the time off between tours and coming back to Phuket, I have been questioned by immigration in late may/early June the last time I was there.

I would really like to come back in August for two weeks as I have 17 days off.

But I worry immigration won’t let me in because I’ve been on a tourist Visa coming in and out of Thailand too much recently.

They questioned me at immigration last time asking what I was going to do when I left Thailand, and I told them I was coming back to work and the United Kingdom.

They were happy with that.

I was asked if I had a Thai wife and I said yes they asked me where she was, and I said Phuket.

I made sure that I had 20,000 Bart with me worth of British pounds.

I had a return flight and I booked separate accommodation to our home.

I was thinking if I had a letter from my employer of my work if this would help?

And maybe a letter from my wife explaining my situation in thai.

Or is coming back too risky until October when I would apply for a Marriage visa.

Thanks in Advance
