Hello everyone,

I hope this post is okay here, even though it’s not directly about the DTV Visa. I’m seeking advice on investing in mutual funds or ETFs in Thailand as a DTV Visa holder. I have Krung Thai Bank account and I found some mutual funds there but it might need to open mutual funds account.

Are there others here in a similar situation? For context, I’m from Asian Country not from Europe or US just from Myanmar and currently living in Thailand. I’d like to know about the policies, tax implications, and options available for someone with my visa type.

I’m planning to invest a portion of my monthly income and would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you can share or get some advice.

Thank you!

Does it matter how the 500k Baht is stored on application of the DTV? If I have it within a mutual fund, 401k or an ETF account, would that be acceptable?

Here is an “Everything Else” question.

Do Bamks in Thailand have the equivalent of a Roth IRA in America for American Citizens?

I wanted a tool to bank outside the US Banking system to not hold dollars for the next few years.

I thought Thailand might be a better option than the Country of Georgia since I’m living in Thailand right now.

For the DTV, can the 500k (proof of funds) be in liquid assets like Index funds or mutual funds .. or do I need to transfer it to my bank account ..

Seeking Financial Investment Advice

Hey everyone,

I am looking into investing a few million Baht. Aside from real estate investment, what are other options in Thailand. Can someone recommend worthwhile investment schemes in banks or other reputable, safe institutions in Bangkok? I am looking at investment periods of 1 year or more. The investment should be on the safe side with less risks involved.

Thanks a lot.
