If you are looking for a way to pull money outside atm or WU

Krungsri bank 200 baht fee off your US Debit and at rate for market. Bring passport quick and easy no ATM fee or foreign atm fee

** Edit just to clarify for the troll of the group Stewart Stuart Cumming a moderator they will only do this if you are wanting to pull over 60000 baht otherwise they will tell you to use ATM.

Sorry I assumed he would have common sense that if you were pulling lower amounts they would tell you to use ATM .. seems I forgot the nature of trolls on the net

Hi everyone,

I just got my DTV and I’m planning to move to Bangkok this September. I had two quick questions as I’m considering staying in Thailand for several years:

1. Is it possible to open a Thai bank account with the DTV? Any advice or recommended banks?

2. Is it true that you can become a Thai tax resident after staying more than 180 days in a calendar year? How does it work exactly in practice?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Is it possible to show the 500k TBH in a WISE account?

Edit: Thanks for all the answers in here. Questions answered and good tips given.

If I was to transfer 65.000 monthly to my Thai bank. Are there any requirements about how long it must stay in account? I assume you can use this money as normal. I want to use this to get my retirement visa in the long run. I'm not planing on staying more then max 6 months and not interested in moving permanently to Thailand. But tourist visa is to much problems around now if using it 2 times pr year.

Point was, some of the 65k I need to use in home country as well for monthly expenses. Only interested in feedback regarding the 65k must stay in account..

I’m applying for a dtv visa and know I can’t get a Thai bank account so has anyone information on any pre paid cards I can use while out in Thailand. I won’t use the atm so looking for another way?

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if any of you had an issue opening a bank account with a non-immigrant OA visa secured in your home country (but without a long-term lease in Thailand?) I know the OA does not require a long-term lease as part of its approval process, but does the bank require a long-term lease before opening?

Thanks!

It is my understanding that when you apply for a marriage visa Bank bank freezes your funds.

Do they only freeze the 400,000 thb or do they freeze all the money in the account?

I’m so obsessed with opening bank account. Help me out :)

Okay I have the next dumb question. My buddy is trying to transfer money from Bank of America to Bank of Thailand. He's doing a wire transfer and he's not using wise so let wise go. When we went to do the transfer it asked did we want to use Thai baht, US dollars or euros. We did an experimental run of a thousand US dollars. We chose Thai baht and it gave us an exchange rate of 31.61. not a great exchange rate. Now the question is should we have picked US dollars and then let Bank of Bangkok convert it. Please let us know what you guys think would be the best choice in this quest to bring money to Thailand.

Hello everyone, i just got my DTV today, someone have a tips about open Thai bank or is really impossible ? I will flight back to Thailand tomorrow
