Do you have to pay taxes in Thailand if you have 2 million baht in a bank account?

Graeme ******

Remember thai banks only guarantee 1 million baht if they get into financial trouble so I would be more worried about that and would there fore spread my money over multiple accounts than worry about a tiny amount of tax on the interest

Where are you located? I have just applied for non o through UK embassy, they typically take no longer than a week? You can get into thailand on visa exempt if you qualify although will find it very difficult to open a bank account without a long term visa

What information should I use for the digital arrival card when traveling to Thailand?

Graeme ******

You just use the first hotel you are staying in even if it was for just 1 night. When you move to your girlfriends villa she will need to submit a tm30 for your stay. Remember you only need to fill highlighted * boxes in you tdac.
