Can I open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa?

Von ******

@George ********

I had no issues updating my Bangkok Bank to get a new card, still had $$$ in the account. The bank will need your current card, your bank book if they issued one ( I have a bank book with BKK bank ) your Passport and have a Thai phone 📱 number, will make everything a lot smoother. Best of luck.

What are the initial steps for building a home in Thailand?

Von ******

@Lynnette ******

safest bet, hopefully get good neighbours.

I am a wanderer, prefer the ability to change my outlook and experiences, especially if you get unlucky and some noisey people in the next unit or above you etc.

Best of luck. 🤞🏾

Should I start building my house in Thailand now or wait until I move there?

Von ******

@Brandon ***********

exactly how my best friend built his house.

The final payment was withheld from the Builder until they rectified issues and painted the entire blockwork and rendered boundary fence line.

That was worth 35% of the job.

Is Pattaya a good choice for digital nomads who want to live by the sea in Thailand?

Von ******

Try Jomtien, not as hectic as Pattaya can be. Still has beach areas and facilities Farrang enjoy.

What is the best way for a U.S. passport holder to show an income of 65,000 baht to the Thai immigration office?

@Ken **********

doesn’t stop them from asking and think we both know that if you didn’t produce them or protest that it was outside the requirements, one would find themselves without said Visa Renewal being granted. TIT.

They hold all the cards and they know it.
