It's only been spoken about for the past 3-4 months

I wasn't meaning you mate , I was meaning all the people who want to play the system then complain when they get pulled ... As I said each to their own ✌🏻

@Todd ********

just get the 90 day and chill without the stress , and if your planning to stay longer then look at the options , we both know that so many kick the ass out this and as far as I am concerned it's each to their own , but don't complain when they get caught.

I get that, but it's always been the case , this has been going on for as long as I can remember, the chopping and changing of visas certainly doesn't help ... And I am not sure what it has to do with the DTV?

I don't understand why people don't just apply and get the correct visa.. save all the crap and drama.

@Bob *********

what was ? Have you got the link?

I got my bank account no problem with it , if you are staying in a county for up to 6 months at a time (full year if you pay the extension) for 5 years then why would you not need a bank account?

Also it's the visa that will catch a lot out with the 6m tax rule and then you're liable so how would they know what if going on if you never had a Thai account?

It's all very strange as they are saying tourism is dropping.. and they are losing a lot of income

Yet constantly chop and change the rules .. if they want to close my account 🤷🏻‍♂️...as long as I get my money out first...and on that note I wonder how many millions of Baht are in there from farang ? If they all panicked and withdrew their money ...that would be very interesting to see the impact it would have on the bank

@Erik ******

is it written somewhere that the DTV doesn't count ?
