Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa, and what documents are required?

Stuart *********

You can get a residence certificate from staying for 1 night in a hotel. They give you the TM30 and you head to immigration to get the certificate. Means nothing in reality.

If you’ve no plans to extend then there is no need to keep it.

We don’t yet know what the requirements for an extension will be as yet, but as you aren’t planning to get one then spend away.

What should I do if the bank claims my Non-O retirement visa is a tourist visa?

Stuart *********

Nope. That’s a Non O stamp. The OP had a evisa that’s not even in his passport.

What visa options are available for an Australian citizen looking to retire in Thailand with a Thai partner?

Stuart *********

There may be bullies on here (like any other Facebook group) but using an agent does cost. However you have to weigh up the fee they charge versus the direct cost to you of having 800k in a Thai bank giving you almost zero interest. It may work for you. It may work for others to use an agent.
