How do you have a DTV and company in Thailand?

@Kim ********

All of those are "nice to have" and not required.

Does it make it easier? Sure.

But do you need it? No.

@Kim ********

What in the world wold REQUIRE a bank account when you come here twice a year?

I am honestly curious. Please enlighten me.

I lived here for at least 2 years before I got an account. And I still would not need it for anything at all.

@Kim ********

sure. But you don't need those.

@Ryan *********

yes. You can easily get a license as a tourist.

Check with a local driving School of just head off to your local DLT office to ask about their requirements.

If you don't have a motorbike license in your home country, you will need to get a local license to legally drive.

People who rent them out might not care at all. But your insurance for sure will if there is an accident. And seeing as Thailand is pretty far up towards the top on traffic accidents... You want to be covered.

Also, maybe check out fitness street?

You will be dealing with exchange rates and transfer fees anyway.

It's not like that disappears because you have a local bank account.

Use a service like Wise and decrease your fees if you use it smartly.

Just live without a bank account?

It's completely possible to do.

Cash is king, after all.

@Jim ******

I did this in Bangkok. Doubt Jomtien will have a problem with it. It's a pretty standard process.

@Stephan **********

I have not seen anyone get rejected by Immigration in Thailand when already granted the DTV visa for this reason?

Just people not getting the visa granted.
