What should I consider when seeking medical appointments for my DTV Visa application in Thailand?

Jonas *************

the only thing they could do that would improve the situation for retirement. Is to explicitly state that there is no taxes to declare/pay unless you have income earned in Thailand.

That's supposedly was one of the benefits of the retirement thingy. Now nothing is really clear if it's any different.

Jonas *************

what's concerning is that it's so much better visa and less trouble and no reentry-permits, no annual paper work compared to the retirement thingy.

I had hoped that they would have reformed the retirement recent and made that simpler and better too but that hasn't happened...

Why are DTV visa holders having trouble opening bank accounts in Thailand?

Jonas *************

Bangkok Bank, go to different branch. Ask for official rules, you can find them online. No visa needed.

What are the challenges and experiences of finding accommodation and banking while on a DTV in Thailand?

Jonas *************

I'd only rent from official office, not some random Facebook guy who has key.

Hanging over money without contract seems risky.

Look into using Wise for transfers. Simple and fast and isn't wire. Exact amount arrives in account.

Bangkok bank doesn't require visa, but you need to do paper work and follow the rules
