I just got the new DTV Visa - 180 days on a single entry and extendable by another 180 days at the local immigration office - it is a 5 year multiple entry visa all you have to show is you have money in your overseas account.. THB 500k for the last 3 months - costs circa 10,000 THB
Is it possible to apply for a bank account with a DTV Visa - I tried to apply with a entry Visa previously (60 days) but the banks would not entertain that unless I have a residents card?
