Hi

Looking for suggestions for a reliable visa agent. I have reached out to many and the rates and requirements vary greatly.

One agent, Speedy Visa in Pattaya, charge THB7000 for Bangkok Bank account, and THB32,500 for non-o visa, and claim they deposit THB800,000 on my behalf so no need to lock up my own funds and 12 month rental contact not needed. Sounds almost too good to be true. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge about them.

Suggestions welcomed.

Since getting a Thai bank account on a DTV seems to be an issue, what are Americans doing? Favorite fee-free credit or debit card? Other workarounds? Please share what's working for you. Are you handing over 15-30k for rent in cash every month?

What's the best agent in pattaya to open bank accounts for us, DTV holders?

Please recommend only the agents which are not discriminatory. I'm from a poor country. Thanks 🙏🙏

Hello there! Plan on retiring very soon in Thailand. Just getting started on medical insurance expenses and bank accounts before making my final decision. Thanks for having me! 🙏

Can holders of 800K and over in a savings account use finanical prodcuts as well to meet the reqiurement? My bank is offering 5% CDs on accounts with $30K USD equivalent in baht.

Thai dtv visa can't open an account in any bank in Thailand, I have gone to every bank to try

So i am curious, if an agent is used, and they supply the funds required how are they able to access your bank account to deposit and withdraw funds? Are they a signitory to your account, is your iwn money safe? Also what address is used for the bank account? Can you use your own address or is it the agents address? Still a while off for me and i will depomy own funds but curious how it works???

Hi, not visa related.

My bank has informed me that it will close my account when I move to Thailand (won't allow a current account if I no longer live in the UK, I can have an international account with £100,000 deposit and charge £7 a month to use it!)

I have looked around Google, but now my head hurts! 😳😫🤣

Any advice in keeping a UK account while living in Thailand will be much appreciated 👍

(Edit included)

I haven't told my bank, it's information I read on their site, technically I will have a uk address, my son is buying my share of the house and living in it.

Wise question please. I have two bank accounts registered in WISE. I have uploaded funds to WISE from one of them and now want to transfer to the other account from WISE for the first time. Is there some simple way to do this? WISE doesn’t seem to offer me this option and it seems I need to enter in all the information again for my other account, which is already registered in the app. Thanks

Looking for agents or people who can help me open up bank accounts in any banks other than Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn and Krungsri
