 if you do not speak Thai you are going to have a difficult time, as very few speak English. That will be your biggest problem.

Do I need to show funds in my bank account for my husband's visa application if we have a joint account?
Kool *******
@Clare *********
 it is all online now, but each Thai embassy in that country processes the applications for their region. They aren't all centrally processes at one location for the whole world. You might not be aware of that detail, as many aren't.

The best, if you are serious, is the Kasetsart university food science program, up to the PhD level if you so choose.

@Fabiola *********
 buying a visa is no guarantee you will be let in if you've been trying to live here long term as a tourist. Even if you bought a tourist visa they can still refuse you entry.

What are the tax implications for transferring money into Thai bank accounts as a digital nomad?
Kool *******
It is very simple at this point, but could change in the future. If you have filed income tax in the country you're suppose to, and can prove it, then Thailand doesn't really care at this point.

@Tammi ****
 you see on that list of required documents, where it says identification cards, then after it house registration? That is how they identify a Thai citizen.

What are the requirements for opening a bank account in Thailand for expats with a Non-O visa?
Kool *******
Just go to the local amphur with your wife, and ask them how you get a yellow book, and pink ID card. They are not your enemy. That's what the bank wants so do what you can to get it.
