pretty sure this passport needs to show a long term visa?

This would depend on your needs and budget to go with it.

Depending on your current visa, it should be pretty easy to do it on your own, no agent required.

I've only used Wise.

Happy with the fees, and happy with the currency conversion rates.

I gladly pay my tax in Thailand. Seeing as Thailand and my country has a bilateral tax agreement that prevents double taxation. Most 1st world countries have some version of this.

Whatever I pay tax on in Thailand gets credited back to me in my home country after filing our taxes and show documentation that the tax has been paid in Thailand.

Rates in Thailand are better for me.

the QR-code stuff is SO convenient. Missing out if you don't have it. And no need to keep cash.

And no ATM fees for withdrawing when I do need it.

If you spend any amount of significant time in Thailand, or just come here often... having a bank account is brilliant.

@Arnold *********

why would you not want to?

It's pretty great to have, imo

@Jef *******

Apparently this is no longer a issue. It is unlimited until the Immigration-Officer you meet says no.

The website needs a update, but it is not an official site for anything related to the Thai Embassies around the world..

It is a website named Thai Embassy run by the lawfirm Siam Legal International.

@Tom *******

pleeeeeeenty of foreigners do though.

I would have Thai translated and English copies of all relevant documents you intend to send with job applications.
