What are the requirements for a successful DTV extension application in Thailand?
Christopher ********
They don’t want you to stay for a year consecutively that is why they are so picky and they will find a reason to deny you the extension because the visa was not built for you to stay there for years on end it was meant for people to go and come for a reason.

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

@Matthew ******
 Bc the logic is to save money on atm fees but 24 percent your wages is a lot more lol. You don’t need to pay taxes on the DTV income outside of Thailand only

If you import it there or paid there or use their banking system.
