Anonymous participant 101 you do if you want to extend the 180 stamp at the local immigration office. The extension process is more or less the same requirement for getting the actual visa. Much easier to pop out of Thailand just before the expiry of 180 days, and back in for a new 180 day stamp

DTV will be easier to get if you meet the criteria for freelancing. It’s good for 5 years, multiple entry-whilst you decide what you what to do long term.

exactly what I did, and it was accepted 👍

Go for the remote working option. It will stand up to 5 years scrutiny, especially if your remote working is ongoing

I opened 2 Thai bank accounts, SCB 14 years ago, and K.Bank 5 years ago. Both accounts were opened when I had Non Imm B and work permit. Since changing to DTV 2 months ago, my Bank accounts still function as normal. I have heard nothing from either bank. I’m not assuming I will have no issues in the future, but so far so good

Why not apply as freelance, seems you are much better suited for that route to get your DTV

Please do report back, and let us all know how you get on with opening your Bank account with your DTV. It will be very useful information for many people in this group. Thank you

The 500,000 baht is the same requirement for all categories under DTV, so go for the workcation option

Why not wait to buy a condo until you have a long term visa? Safest option
