I assume the 5 year tourist visa means she has a limit of 6 months per stay?

You want to move this to permanent living status in the UK?

They can take a copy.

Long term visa. Rental document or ownership document. Passport or Thai ID

Open the account with say 1000 baht.

Don’t get conned into opening insurance

I keep my UK accounts live and transfer. Use wise as already mentioned as the middle man and then transfer to Thai bank account.

Keeping money in a bank account is not very effective so just prove the monthly cash flow.

No there is a back to back agreement with the UK. If you stay over 179 days then you will probably have to do a tax return. If it is money sent to your wife I doubt any issues as it’s not income.

dump the agent.

No.

It’s a scam employed by the banks to get you to buy a service. It’s not related to securing a bank account.

Limited

You can set up a Thai company as an investor in the business but you cannot have more than 49 percent share. The other 51 percent must be a Thai national. From this position you can advise. If the company is profitable you can take a dividend but not a salary and you can not represent the company.

Firstly it is easy enough for you to do yourself. Agents just cost you money. The only thing you need to prove is that you can support you and your wife with your income in the UK. You can have zero in the bank account but you will need to show last 6 months accounts from memory.

Be careful with the word silly reasons. A rejection is a rejection.
