Your marriage with a thai national helped. Lol

@Anna ********

But would you risk your money with it? I mean a 5-year visa for a one-off appointment is not making sense. Id rather send documents that shows i need to stay for more than 6 months to make sure i will get approved.

You need to have a treatment plan of more than 6 months.

maybe the employees can relay to their bosses what I showed them (link from Thai Immigration website that DTV holders can’t work for a Thai company). It is basically saying that you need to break Thai immigration laws to be able to secure a bank account on a DTV.

i know now hiw thailand works. But their policy to provide an employment certificate from a Thai company while holding DTV is bonkers. Lol

Went to TTB Siam Paragon today. Rejected my application for a bank account as I do not have an “employment contract from a Thai company” under DTV. Tried my very best to explain that you cant work for a Thai company if you have DTV. But the guy was adamant that I need to work for a Thai company for me to get approved a bank account for DTV. Welcome to Thailand!

Is the residential house registration same as the lease? Which TTB branch did you apply with successfully?

I had mine approved using a muay thai gym at sathorn area. I applied in London.

Do your own research of DTV and see if you are qualified. Then, if you have additional questions, post it here.
