They also identify you by facerecognition and fingerprints, so your whole immigrationhistory will be visibel for the Immigration officer, no matter which passport you use.

Start by reading any Thai Embassy website, about which visa’s are available.

Doing the same as loads of others, can be the short road to rejection.

You have to be Physicaly in the country you apply in for the duration of the whole visa processing.

Can be an advantage to apply in your passport country, where also all the documentation has been issued.

Apply in the country where you documents originate from, for best success.

A Thai bank is absolutely not needed, and with DTV you will not be able to get a Thai Bankaccount.

If you apply to early, they will tell you to come back closer to the end of current visa exempt.

Read the website of the Immigration office could be a great help.

Then do what the Embassy tell you.

But rules changes so what you was told last year or last month may have changed, and that you will find out by reading the Embassy website.

Read all the previous post where the answers all have been answered many many times.

No need to ask allready answered questions again and again.

You are not eligable for a Bank account on touristvisa’s like DTV.

Why not use the search bar before asking questions that are asked everyday.

You are earning your money outside of Thailand so that is where you should have a bankaccount.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable custormers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

So don’t waste your and the banks time by applying straight after arriving in Thailand, some banks blacklist you preventing you from opening bankaccounts in the future.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so reluctant depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Be aware there is a error in the start of the article ( and several other copy - paste media with the same article )

A Thai Bankaccount has never been a requirement to get DTV, on the contrary it has been one of the big advantage over other visa, that you could get DTV as long as you could show 500.000 Baht equivalent in any bank anywhere in the world.

It has never been the intention that DTV visaholders should be in need of a Thai bankaccount.
