didnt you understand the question? Yeah i did too long time ago before dtv existed, so what? That has nothing to do with this day, rules have changed and new laws for banks. Its not easy anymore. I opened a year ago with exempt+extension, but it has nothinf to do with this post.
they do that for soft power too, but income is not a requirement thats why its a bit odd... they could just add it, if its a must. I think some visa has income requirement, so why not this one? Well, its Thailand yeah but anyway 😝
