Yes. Many accounts are now being frozen and closed

Basically you can't. DTV is a tourist visa hence banking regulations in Thailand doesn't permit this

@James *************
Not really. They just go by your own statement. If you've got an address and driver's licence you'll be ok

You have to be aware of the terms and conditions relating to your account. Many these days stipulate you must be a UK resident. You have to exercise caution because banks can freeze accounts (although they do give you a warning a few weeks before). I have a Santander account which recently came under notice. I had to call, answer a series of questions, and then provide evidence of my address (driving licence was adequate)

"can EXIST in Cambodia". You said it! Maybe many expats in Thailand with a bit of coin want to do more than "exist". Fortunately for me it's not about "cheap". Of course I enjoy the lower cost of living in Thailand compared to western countries, but too many creature comforts for me in Thailand

No vendetta. I just ROFL when people make a big deal out of a minor transgression, whilst ignoring how many expats are actually committing a criminal offence by paying bribes to government officials!! 😂😂😂😂

Anonymous participant 298 DTV requires 90-day reporting. End of story

@Kim *******
It is my opinion, but it seems those that complain about price are those who always carry on about Cambodia. If it's so bad in Thailand, just go. You don't have to make an announcement! If you think Thailand is expensive, I'd say you're strapped for cash! 😂😂😂

@Henrik ****
Better tell that to the 10,000s of retirees who live in Thailand on retirement visas obtained illegally through an agent! 😂😂😂

No issue at all. Border immigration don't care about 90-day reports. They're an administrative process from the immigration office.
