Anonymous participant They comprehend very well. What they’re saying is, that without a Thai salary you can not open an account with them. The fact that you don’t have one, and on your current visa can not get one is not something they don’t understand. They’re saying ‘no’ to your request to open an account.

@Rickard ******

I am. I was there recently with a friend who successfully applied for a DTV via HCMC

@Rickard ******

just to add, you don’t have to be in HCMC itself, just the area that embassy serves. Da Nang for instance is a less busy city to hang out in and is still covered by HCMC for Thai visa applications. Enjoy Vietnam if that’s where you choose to go.

@Mark ********

worth a look mate?

When you read the part on the eVisa website that you do not need a visa, that was the point where you stop needing to use that site. Where it further asks you to select which visa you're applying for is another hint that you don't need to use the site any more.

When you first arrived in Thailand you did not have a visa and were granted a stay of 60 days. That will be what happens the next time you arrive without a visa. It's going to be the same.

Your book is full? Your bank book? Just go and ask for another one. No need to mention your visa type. You’re just a customer asking for a service. Same with the address change. Not sure the last one is really necessary though.

My address with Bangkok Bank has been the same for thirteen years even though I don’t live there any more.

@Robert ********

please send me their details too. Thank you.

Carry the old passport with you and show both, plus the printout of the DTV visa to the airline check in and Thai immigration. They should stamp you in on your new passport. They may also make a note that your visa was issued on your previous passport (noting the passport number) if they don’t then you can get that done at an immigration office. Thereafter, you can travel with your new passport plus a copy of your old passport along with a copy of your DTV.

@Ni**

you require proof that things don’t exist? If you’d like to go to your immigration office and ask them for a list of things that aren’t regulated then I’d be interested to see their response.

Or would you rather someone else do that for you? Perhaps every rumour that is passed around should be checked with immigration? Again, I nominate you to be the one that goes and asks them. I have a short list of things you could check with them and report back to the group.

Your help is much appreciated.

Anonymous participant 895 it should be in your list of questions you ask before you sign the contract. Can you supply a copy of the TM30. If the answer is no, don’t move in there.
