She also might have been being racist toward you. I don't like it but racism does exist in thailand and I've witnessed it first hand on many occasions

You can give them a tip? Isn't there a possibility that will be considered a bribe and get you in big trouble or upset the IO. Ok I know it's thailand but are you for real?

I'm not being sexist but I did see another expat say he avoids female IO officers because this was his experience😅I'm not claiming that so don't shoot the messenger just relaying what I saw him say

@Felipe ********

Do you use Revolut?

@James *******

Will do, I imagine they will request traditional bank docs over my brokerage bank docs I provided. Wish I knew earlier. Thought it was the same, it's in cash, in a bank, debit card, routing and account numbers. But seen a few posts that make me think it's going to be a problem. I'm just hoping they give me a chance to submit the documents again before rejecting me.

Good info ℹ️ applied to LA consulate in California with the discover Thai nature seminar. Been 11 days still waiting to hear back

Interesting, thanks for all your valuable input. This group is awesome, been 11 days still waiting on my DTV app from the LA consulate. accidentally turned in investment account documents instead of traditional bank docs 😬 I emailed them waiting to hear back. Might have to transfer the funds to a normal bank. The money is not invested but it is in cash in my investment account.

Anonymous participant I think they are good folks the last class they made their own herb yadom inhalers in Bangkok out of a concoction of plants 🪴 and magic 🪄 😂

@John *********

thanks for the valuable input! So if it’s money saved in your bank 🏦 it’s not considered income? How do they determine that? Is it whether the income is earned in the US or digitally in Thailand 🇹🇭? Definitely confusing

@John *********

So what counts as bringing money into thailand? Is taking money out of an ATM with a bank and card for your country tax liable if over the 180 day mark? Is that considered income on that basis? How strict are they about enforcing this? Will they make you pay taxes at immigration when they see you have been there for more than 180 days 😅
