What are the best strategies for opening a bank account in Thailand as an expat on a DTV?

Luit *****************

@Nick ******

retirement visa is not classified as tourist visa, DTV is, Elite also is.

The reason why Elite is classified as tourist visa might be to prevent it as a path to permanent residency.

Since Elite has stays of 1 year, and the owners normally have money to spend, banks have no problems for holders to open an account.

What should I include in my letter to the embassy regarding my beginner experience in Muay Thai?

Luit *****************

I think they assume that somebody who applies for a visa for over half a year to live in another country doing Muay Thai training at least should have some previous experience.

They just want to check if your application is genuine.

My reaction is about you calling people in this group rude, obviously you read it and don't understand it, I will remove it because it is not informational for anyone else than you.

It is not just you, I think the only reason to call it a tourist visa is to prevent people from having rights to work on it.

They are targeting a group with enough money not having to work for a living.

You indeed are ALLOWED each question you want, but when you ask a question that is asked several times a day in a group, you can expect reactions you should first look around if your question is asked before, that is just general netiquette.

How are chances you find one brach you can keep it for a longer time?

What use is it to have a bank account you can not rely on?

@Jef *******

The big difference is DTV is made for 180 days stay with you can extend to 360 days and Elite is for stays of 1 year which can be extended to 20 years without leaving the country once.

So compare 360 days to 20 years, which is quite a difference

Why should I choose a DTV visa instead of a marriage visa if my spouse is Thai?

@Alex ********

Are you sure married to a Thai citizen will make it possible to have a bank account even when you are just a tourist doing some soft power activity or remote work?
