Actually not. It is “maximum 72 hours”. Not “at least”.

Technically “within 72 hours” is the correct expression, but it seems to confuse lots of people.

Theoretically you could fill out the tdac while in the plane (provided you have internet).

@Sajid ****

Yes. You can still enter Thailand without the tdac, but you’ll be in a long waiting line.

just write it in the post so unhelpful people don’t need to refer to the thread? 🙄

Good to see it worked out for you. Now get the money in to reach two months seasoning! 👍

@Lester ********

Keep us posted.

Note that Krungthai will only take inbound transfers to a max of 50,000 thb. But it’s a start. You could do 16 transfers in a minute and they would accept it. (But you would incur transfer cost).

Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn accept up to 2mln in a single transfer. SCB accepts max 1,5 mln, but in my experience they are rather bureaucratic. (At least here in Sakon Nakhon.)

/edit: “inbound transfers” above should be “inbound international transfers”. 🫢

@Lester ********

I guess the immigration officer was referring to a possible income affidavit when he mentions “It will be much quicker procedure” as that doesn’t need the two months waiting time.

Likely the IO doesn’t know whether the embassy would issue an income affidavit or not.

@Satvik ********

The tdac which starts on 1 May is not a visa. It’s an arrival card. For this reason it is called “arrival card” so everybody can know it is an arrival card.

If it was an e-visa it would be called “e-visa”. Does that make sense to you?

@Kevin ******

I asked for a residence certificate in Bangkok in July last year and they refused because my tm30 from the hotel was under 15 days. They explained that the tm30 from hotels (in Bangkok) must list an expected stay of more than 15 days.

We moved to the Isan village two days later and did all the paperwork there. I opened the bank account at a Kasikorn branch in Robinson in about an hour of checking documents and everything.

I did the same at SCB and it took more than three weeks.

Then we went to Bangkok Bank and the girls refused to open an account; told me it’s impossible. I asked for the supervisor and they told me the supervisor was out on location with a client. Then I pointed to a man across the office and asked “Who is that?” and she answered “It’s the supervisor”. 🤣🤣🤣

I walked to his desk, told him I wanted to open a savings account. an FCD account and would talk about investments in 2025. One hour later I had a bank book and the number of the FCD account. The bank book of the FCD account followed one week later.

TIT.

Tsjongejonge, wat ben jij een zielige eikel. Gelukkig houden ze hersendode surrogaten buiten. Leve Thailand!

Neem nog een banaan!

Geitenneukers met ondermaatse piemeltjes mogen gerust aan de grens geweigerd worden.

Ik gok dat je niet eens kunt herinneren met wie je überhaupt sex hebt gehad, anders dan met een pincet. Heb je wel eens sex gehad? Je klinkt als een huilende tiener die voor het eerst ongesteld moet worden.

Heeft je mammie lang gehuild na jouw geboorte? Wat moet dat een verschrikkelijke ervaring zijn geweest!

으악!

PS: Het maakt me echt geen moer uit wat er met de baht gebeurt. Helemaal niets.

@Crispus ********

If you don’t even know the difference between “your” and “you’re” then I can estimate your level of Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

Let me guess… “Sayonara”?
