Hey mate you definitely need to change bank. Either they lying to you or they have no idea about regulations in place …

Depends which country is your home country . Some countries are not part of the AEOI scheme. Like North Korea for example. But if your home country adheres to this international protocol , your financial data are exchanged and transmitted automatically by your financial institution (bank , brokers etc …) . By law. Just Google it or better: just ask your financial institution directly.

No need. It’s all automatic : since this year Thailand adheres to the worldwide Automatic Exchange of Information protocol (Google it, it’s interesting …):

No. The purpose of this new proposed law is to tax worldwide incomes. Regardless if the funds are remitted (repatriated) into Thailand or not. It’s a new development.

Yes. Some embassies are much stricter than others. I’ve heard the one in Laos is pretty easy and helpful .

For those who don’t , thai authorities even made it possible for these people to have a guarantor who can back them up: speaks volumes on how badly they want you to get this new 5 years visa !!

Just show proof of booking of 1 week of Muay Thai training or proof of one dental appointment: you get 5 years of multiple entry visa for 10,000 THB. You just have to be older than 20 years old and show funds of 500,000 THB or equivalent in currency in your bank account (doesn’t have to be in a Thai bank). Everyone can do that . Just search “DTV visa Thailand” in the search bar on this group ☝🏼.
