What are the latest rumors about Thailand's long-stay visa requirements?

Tommy ********

Thailand is much more popular than the Philippines. And has long attracted many overstays, or people working illegally for many years. The Thai government should make any visa like this available for those truly who are eligible. If that means it’s more difficult, so be it.

How can I open a bank account in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa without a work permit?

Tommy ********

You’re on a glorified tourist visa, the DTV. Thailand brought it in because it wants regular or kong stay tourists to stay longer.

You don’t have a work permit and don’t have the same rights as expats or those on that those type of working visas.

Why won't Thai banks open accounts for DTV visa holders?

Tommy ********

Because the DTV is a glorified tourist visa. The rights are limited.

If you want a bank or more rights, you have to get a legit working visa or permit that expats have
