Electricity you can pay through Lazada with your card. The rest you can pay with Wise like rent, water bill etc. For the rest cash is king to pay for street vendors and all shops accept cards. Bigger shops even accept Amex cards no problem 🙂 So all this thing running around to open bank account is complete waste of energy, and to pay agents to open account is the most dumb thing 🙂

I don’t think you need DTV for that, I verified same account just with passport and no one didn’t ask me for DTV, about half year ago. The only think deposit limit in 7/Eleven.

Cash 💵 is king 🤴 🙂

And for the rest Wise work pretty well 🙂 when I hear people pay agents to get bank account it just ridiculous 😂

You need print copy even if immigration will not ask, airlines may ask so you dont need to have flight out ticket from Thailand. You can laminate 1 copy and it will last till the visa expire 🙂

Some embassies want sponsor to have 15k for each applicant including infants. Specifically Manila. So if there is 3 applicants need to have 45k on account.

@Robert ********

can you send me too, thank you!

@Jessica *******

yes each applicant need to pay own fee, someone may suggest to bring your son, because he will not get any fines or will not be deported. But if he stay illegal his insurance will be invalid and I think his name will stay in system as overstayer.

@Jessica *******

It's under purpose of visit

@Jessica *******

yes new application but you choose as dependent DTV visa holder. And you do it after you get approved first. It can be done from the same account just create new application.

Visa fee need to pay for each applicant, regarding income you probably mean 500k balance on account. That’s depends on location so before you apply you can send them email to verify. Manila require to have 500k each, or if husband or wife sponsor then need to have 1mil for 2 people. In Jakarta you can use 500k for the whole family.

So it's good only for tourists who coming for few weeks, not for DTV holders who plan to stay for years.
