what?? 2-6% a year. Even a “all world” index etf get allot better returns than that….

@Todd ********

respectfully disagree. I only advise keeping emergency cash on bank. Rest should be kept in the market. Something like a “all world “ index fund. Obviously if living in Thailand keep the broker account tied to a Thai bank account. More than 1-2 months expenses + emergency kept in any bank account in any currency is bad money management.

Each to their own though

@Wannikea ********

im pretty sure they know lol

It was very very easy in Jakarta. Walk in, no appointment.

I provided Passport, bank statement and appointment pdf from hospital.

Applied a Monday morning, pick up Thursday afternoon.

@Paris *******

I’ve seen repeated reports (here and other groups) that US and UK embassies have stopped issuing those statements. But many European countries still do

@John *********

and yet i recently opened both bank accounts and got Thai driver license (no agent) on DTV

Bangkok Bank, a small branch close to Vimut Hospital.

Yeah that’s pretty bad as investment goes.

Anonymous participant id be surprised if you don’t qualify, but it can vary allot from embassy to embassy (or consulate). The usually look for contracts with clients for verification.

Otherwise the medical DTV route is very easy if you have any medical issues.

I opened a bank account and got my Thai driver license in Bangkok by myself. No agent involved
