absolutely correct, no work permit and/or TIN, no concern, but no matter how much you repeat this it makes no difference, it’s like talking to a brick wall.
Anonymous participant yes I’m totally aware some DTV holders will already have a Thai bank account, and these are the first ones to have potentially shot themselves in the head by converting from whatever visa status they had before. I’m referring to the newbie DTV holders who don’t yet have a Thai bank account. I’m one of the few people who believes absolutely nothing will come out of this, but on the very small chance of it happening it will be the DTV people with bank accounts first for the chopping board.
beyond boring, DTV holders can’t even open a bank account without an under the table agent, if the Thai government was intending to tax DTV holders they would be informing the banks to allow them to open an account right? So many people just refuse to use basic common sense. It really is boring now.
The best value for money is AIA but unfortunately they don’t offer cover to DTV holders, next best one is AXA, you can apply and buy directly online, no need to go through a broker.
