so you’re on a DTV?

mate.. when I chose my visa it came with the right to have a bank account. That’s the facts. It’s just changed a week ago. It’s not a loophole visa. It’s a perfectly viable one. There’s many reasons I didn’t choose the “elite visa” which it seems you’re implying. Like I said, you don’t know me. My comment was simply about bank accounts now being closed without warning and the difficulty to pay with scan because you can’t link it with a foreign bank. No more, no less.

yeh thanks but I own real estate here so the bank account is important for me. My bank account being closed down happened a week ago. Did you know that in the world we live in, it’s possible for one persons issue to not be an issue for someone else? Why are you trying to convince me that you know anything about MY personal situation here in Thailand? We are not the same. Cheers

I’m not over 50 like you clearly are or Married to a Thai national either. So I didn’t use any “loopholes” my buddy. I work online full time for myself, for my overseas business I’ve owned for 14 years.

This visa was the correct and only option for me.

I do live here. And I’m sorry? I have had a bank account for years. Bangkok bank closed it down last week.

Of where you cannot.

Anonymous participant 683 unless you want to get your car or bike out of a shopping centre car park and the option to pay is scan. Then you’re in a pretty shtty pickle…

thank you to both of you again. So in saying all of this. Is there really any major reason I shouldn’t just apply with soft power? Like Muay Thai? (I would never go to it tho lol)
