I'm a day trader on the LSE and NYSE. I was going through World top performing investment funds. I saw they had a number in the top 250.. So contacted them through their website and went into the bank to set up. Simple
The truth is the top 1% don't want people like us getting rich. So we have to think like them.
I've a Kasikorn Asset Management Account. Very few expats know about it because they don't offer it. I had 1m THB in there as a rainy day account. You need to choose your funds. I have chosen 3. You must have a minimum in each account is 10,000 THB.
After 3 years took 1.4m out leaving 1m THB. Some of these funds can perform as high as 35% per year.
I think you maybe confused. This is my experience:
1 Applied for a Non O single entry visa in my country. Easy approved in 5 days. Showed one bank statement 15,000 USD. One years insurance includes C-19. Through AA Insurance Brokers Bangkok 550USD for a year.
2, Arrived in Thailand opened a Kasikorn Asset Management Account. Very few expats have this account. Also opened a normal account. Really easy showed passport and proof of address.
3, Used Wise to transfer my money over to my account. Kept 100k in my normal account and deposited 1 million into my Asset Management Account. I had a choice of investments I went for a Gold account. 17% return last year. There are others.
4, Ever month I bring over 100k THB. So I can go with either method monthly money or 800k deposit.
Basically if you are OK financially. There is no issues with visas. Wishing you all the best. PS I never use agent's.
