Bankok Bank in Central opposite Fortune Town (Bangkok) are open to DTV holders to open bank accounts. I went there the other day just to enquire, and she said it's a new visa, and after asking me a few questions, she said I need to bring a copy of my work contract and usual forms of ID.

So hopefully will have an account soon, going there again in a few days. Will make sure to post in the group if all goes well.

no, BK

I have a 1 year rental, like you, it's my base. If we don't stay 90 days in one go then we don't have to, but if we do then we must. But it's easy, I already registered online, and set a reminder on my diary to go to the immigration office. Then after, if I stay 90 days or more I can just complete it online

@Tsai ****

Tm30 is done by the hotel/landlord, not us.

We have to do the 90 day report which is the TM47.

I didn't know this aswell, it wasn't clear with the DTV application process, there was no advice about other things. It's not until folks here in the group said it's normal to report, SO I checked with immigration and it's correct.

With DTV we must do TM47 if we stay 90 days or more, and our landlord or the hotel folks submit and create the TM30 for us (no always but ask them and they should be able to, it's their responsibility).

I got my TM30 from my landlord (I arranged a 1 year rent contract) once I got here with my DTV last month.

@Tsai ****

Tm30 is done by the hotel/landlord. TM47 you have to do it, I believe it's the 90 day report. 1st one has to be done in person at an immigration office, the following can be done online.

@Sean ********

nice one 👍

Had similar when I applied they wanted to see more activity, so I re-submitted my current account and attached a statement for my savings (both separate) and I joined the together with a PDF app and also added an explanation that I don't keep my savings in current account. I did my application through Madrid. After this I got approved

@Ivan ******

they asked me for 3 months

@Neil *****

yes you do, at 1st I wasn't aware of this, reached out to immigration and they said we do. 1st report has to be done in person and then subsequent ones can be done online.

Anonymous participant amazing, I am here too 🙌
