Cambodia has an excellent Visa program

what office?

@Brian **********

the rule is it must come from overseas. I guess if you have a paper trail. But that's pretty unusual I would guess and as such, might not be the easiest path through immigration.

@Brian **********

glad it worked out for you. I am not sure everyone who tries it will get their stamp though.

you need a long-term visa to get a bank account. You need a bank account to get a long term visa. Welcome to Thailand 🙂

Personally I visited about 3 or 4 branches of bkk bank to get my first bank account. They required a notarized copy of my passport from the US embassy as well as other documentation. So that took weeks to sort out.

Bringing a native Thai with you can help as well.

And then there are agents who can get this done for you, for a fee.

You brought 800k TBH worth of cash in another currency into Thailand? Did you declare it? Did they hassle you at the airport?

Technically this is not allowed since the 800k is required to come from overseas which is not true for a cash deposit. But like always, it's up to the office and officer exactly what rules are required.
