You can avoid the hassle by coming on a 60 day tourist waver,then a 30 day extension 😉 plus a 90 day trip to DaNang ( very cheap ) then repeat until you have your transfer completed. This gives you 6 months to a year to get your money here.

We always turn down the expense insurance. If your branch insist on the insurance. Go to another branch

That's a load of hogwash. Not a penny has been lost in an FDIC bank since 1934. And Thailand has a similar guarantee for one million T. H. B. Your money's safe here. Stop with the fear-mongering.

Those of us that want to live in this country will not plan to commit a crime to get a Visa. As they say in Thailand up to you.
