Hello. I am currently in Thailand 60 day tourist visa with a 30 day extension. Would possibly like to open a bank account. Possibly with Kasikornbank. Have been told by members of staff that I need work permit to open one. Am I able to obtain a Work Permit with regards to my current status. My passport is stamped until 31st March 2025. Thanks for any advice and help that is coming forward…

Hello everyone,

I have a question related to bank statement. As I know they want bank statement for 6 months and I have 13 pages bank statement each month. All of these pages is Spanish and i find an agency for translate it into English with 30$/ page. That means i need to pay 2340$ just for translation and it doesn’t make sense. Or do i just need to translate the main page that shows the latest money in my bank? Thanks so much

I had my DTV approved in Vietnam on the 29th of November, 2024. I've been living back in Bangkok since the 4th of December. I'm flying to Bali tomorrow.

1. Is there anything to prepare for the flights in and out or easy enough with multi-entry good to go?

2. I suppose no need for any 90 day report stuff as I won't be in Thailand for this length of time?

Thanks

Hi all,

Just need some advice if possible:

Can you help with the below and how to respond:

Other request documents: - Your recent (balance within last 30 days ) personal (cash flow / current account )UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, your UK/Ireland address, and a minimum closing balance of 11,000 GBP (Screenshots are not accepted).

As I live in between two countries I can provide my overseas account with the relevant funds but not my uk account. I can transfer money from my overseas account back into my uk account to provide the amount required but will the embassy accept this on short notice? I have already provided my overseas account with GBP in there also but this wasn’t accepted as they’ve asked again.

Other request documents: - Please upload your E-Ticket of your Flight booking showing your name as passenger , departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand

Is there anyway I can buy a ticket without paying for it for a month or so as I’m not exactly sure when I’ll leave for Thailand.

Any help would be greatly appreciated to overcome these questions.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I heard DTV Visa is being seen as problematic and might be regulated/canceled, is that true?

Should I apply now even if I don’t plan going thailand before 6 to 10 months from now?

I want ideally do the Visa the workcation way but I don’t have customers yet.

I am thinking of using the softpower way with muay thai: can I go something like 1 class a week during 6 month and then never do muay thai class again if I want to stop but still live in thailand under the DTV Visa? or are they gonna ask me to renew classes if I want to stay in thailand?

Can I work remotely for non thai customer if I got my DTV Visa the softpower way?
