yes

What exactly do you need from the agent? I believe there is enough information in the group to gather the required documents and apply.

Anonymous participant Form an LLC and give yourself a salary for a few months. After that, apply for DTV based on the remote worker category. If you really think that you need treatment for a longer period, ask the doctor for a treatment plan covering at least 6 months.

TM30 is required if you want immigration services like a certificate of residency, etc. If no, you can ignore it, but you really let the immigration office know where you are staying and renting from whom or if you own a residence.

I don't understand why some people want to stay in Thailand using the soft power DTV but don't want to engage in a soft power activity. If you have decent income/money, create an LLC, give yourself a salary and apply based on that. If you don't have enough money and only scrapping by using the low living cost of Thailand by doing border runs and now want to use the soft power just to get the DTV, you should feel ashamed and should go back to your home country to earn more money.

If somebody is using it to really learn and practice like a professional, it may be OK, but just for the DTV visa, I will not pay that kind of money just to stay in Thailand.

Whatr's budget friendly soft power. Please explain.

I forgot the name. It is on the soi post office across the post office.

For twenty years, I used to think like that and get three bank accounts; however, during COVID-19, I had an epiphany and started using ATMs for cash withdrawals. I was a CC user for most transactions as far back as I could remember. Once I started using ATM cards, I never regretted it. Now I exclusively use ATM and CCs.

There is no need for a bank account. For all cash transactions where CCs are not accepted, I now use an ATM to withdraw cash. However, I prefer CC for all my transactions including , Big C, Lotus, restaurants, etc. My ATM fees are reimbursed. A better option is to get a couple of ATM cards that reimburse all ATM fees and a few CCs with no international charges.
