I don't think the agents in Thailand that help foreigners open bank accounts operate in the way you describe. They just introduce you to a friendly bank manager that will overlook the bank policy of not opening bank accounts for DTV, tourist visa, etc. You may find it extremely difficult to open a bank account without using such an agent if you don't have a non immigrant, elite, or LTR visa.

@Angelo **********

I mean it's not illegal to use an agent to assist you with the account opening process. Of course you would still need to go in person to open the account.

Anonymous participant 959 It's not illegal to use an agent to open a bank account. Nor is it illegal to open a bank account with a tourist or DTV visa. It may be against the policy of the bank, but it's certainly not illegal.

@David *******

I don't know about your agent but it's standard practice for the landlord to provide a copy of their ID card and blue house book when signing a lease. This is to verify their identity and prove they are the owner of the property they are renting. You should not sign any contract or pay any deposit without copies of these documents.

@Elías *******

It's absolutely possible if you have a copy of the property owners ID card and blue housebook. You should normally get both of these anyway when signing a lease. Make an account and register on this website to file your own TM30.

Your understanding is wrong. Although an LLC is a pass through entity, it's not a sole proprietorship.

I don't think you understand what 'sole proprietorship' means. But anyway, congratulations on your successful application.

Anonymous participant So you showed them the visa on your phone initially before getting the wrong stamp? Or only showed it after you went back to get the stamp corrected?

Did you hand them a printed copy of your evisa along with your passport initially?

Did you quit your job in Singapore to live in Thailand? If yes did they ask you about how you will earn income in Thailand or was it enough to just show the 500k in a bank account?
