Anonymous participant Well just have to be Zen about it and apply the "Let Them Theory". Trying to predict what will happen in Thailand is like trying to ride a unicorn. My old boss was very senior in a large BOI company here. Economically strategic to the economy. He would meet ministers and come away confused lol. Best to just wait and see and Mai Pen Rai.

Anonymous participant 614 90 consecutive days in country you have to do the TM47 ie 90 day report. So, yes if a DTV holder is in country 90 days they need to report.

Anonymous participant 164 If you can login and do it then complete. You will be fine. Even at offices where they ask for a physical copy of the TM30 you just hand over the most recent. You will be fine.

Anonymous participant It is legit to work remotely on a Soft Power DTV. If it was not there would be a lot of people in trouble. If one was to be extremely pedantic I do not think there is anything that says you can. Just as there is nothing that says you cannot. The rules and guidance were a rush job and not well defined.

Anonymous participant As someone else advised. Go soft power. Easier than faffing about.

Anonymous participant I am pretty sure "Startups" have been approved in some Embassies without a trading industry. You would need to search and find out where. Good luck

The AML and need for CRS & KYC is different to the scamming account issue. This was coming to Thailand already when they signed up to it when applying for OECD membership.

You have an O visa and cannot open an account in CM? Where have you tried? Go to Krungsri in Maya Mall. They have a list of requirements. You can open one on a O retirement . Need Res Cert and 2 forms of Photo Id.

My bank manager says differently. I very much doubta lowly branch manager at either of our banks has the inside track of what is happening. The branch managers at BB had no warning of HQ decisions.

Get a METV. That can get you almost 9 months in country with good timing. Easy to switch to a B for business if you set up Ltd company etc EDIT: Just noticed you mentioned language classe3s - an Ed would do too.
