COMMENTS

What are the requirements for opening a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa?

Paul *******

Not just that, but most banks will charge you a withdrawal fee on their end (AUD / CHF / USD/ EUR 5) usually and a percentage charge of up to 3-3.5% of the amount withdrawn.

Only a small handful of banks refund these charges.

Thus withdrawing money from a Thai ATM can be very costly using a foreign card.

You were on the ideal visa extension, as your permission to stay was for 2 years 9 months through the BOI company you worked for.

Do I need to show a return ticket when flying to Bangkok?

Paul *******

You do. I've never come across an international flight where I didn't have interaction with a check-in agent. Even bag drop for internet check-ins have an agent which then checks your passport and visa.

@Vitaly *******

You literally have to check-in at the counter, drop your bag and that's where you show your visa.

@Vitaly *******

Well, normally I would show them my visa at the check-in counter and not be hassled again afterwards. It does depend on your situation; basically, you should be prepared to show it again though it shouldn't happen.

Possibly. Just have it inside your passport. It's something you should show when you check-in.

AirBNB is certainly accepted for long stays. Only for short stays is it an issue.
