Agent will depend on the city you’re in. Fee 1000-5000฿ varies by city and agency. At least it’s a one time fee and then the account is yours for life.

Sometimes you have to keep trying. It’s frustrating. It’s time consuming. Bangkok Bank (dark blue) and Kasikorn (green) are the two best banks for foreigners without a work permit.

You sometimes have to visit multiple branches of the same bank until you find a manager that agrees to attempt to try it. Calls will be made to Bangkok. There will two fingers thick of paperwork to sign. It takes about 1-2 hours to open the account.

Good luck.

Correct. Only 90 continuous days requires a report. Every time you enter, the clock resets to zero.

90 day report is usually a minor task of all things taking 5-10 minutes at the most but like everything here it’s up to the office, lunar cycle, and number of bones found in the ice cream.

@Flem****

it doesn’t make sense yet it works. While not entirely the same, a root canal is 3-4 appointments and would qualify.

Others are doing 6 month courses with ‘highly flexible’ attendance and still getting the DTV.

Why are you so eager to pay taxes here?

Come twice a year for days. No issues no problems no paperwork no headaches.

You’ve expressed interest in Vietnam. This is easy.

Thailand VN Spain. Rinse and repeat. Pay your taxes in Europe.

@Li**

everyone gets 2 year provisional first. And on renewal with a long term visa can get 5.

The irony

Not disagreeing with that.

It’s more like:

Have you done any search on the internet and read anything published in the last 60 days?

Ok, have you attempted to use the search function? Or at least spend 3 minutes scrolling through recent posts.

Now, ok, I get it. You have a very specific question. The audience still needs to know nationality/passport. Where are they applying from? Online or in person?

We have to get all of this stuff out of the way before anyone can offer a helpful answer.

And a good day to you sir!

let me ask you a very specific question without providing any personal details…

@Ka***

, Muay Thai gyms are adding about 15-25k tuition for 6 months courses with flexible attendance.

As others have pointed out, be grateful you haven’t had to spend 40,000-75,000฿ for a ONE year ED visa. You’re already getting a hell of a deal.
