Why is it so difficult for LTR visa holders to open bank accounts in Thailand?

Christopher ***********

@Lynnette ******

Before I retired I tried to open a bank account in a different country. Whilst they were mega impressed that my driving licence was valid for over 50 years, it wasn’t acceptable due to not having a photo!

What steps should I take to activate my Non-O visa and open a bank account in Thailand?

@Tony ****

My Amphur require 12 months residence and also to be married to a Thai to qualify for the yellow house book. That narrows it down even more!

What should I know about applying for a Thai eVisa to avoid mistakes?

Christopher ***********

@Luit ****************

Yes it is. You wouldn’t be happy to lose 14,000 baht due to a known error which they neither fix nor put a stopgap measure in place for when it happens.

Staff must know this is happening yet it continues. They claim they can’t/aren’t permitted to amend an applicants details. This is a lack of common sense, customer service and bordering on dishonesty.

Is a one-way ticket allowed when traveling to Thailand on a DTV visa?

Christopher ***********

If airline check-in/boarding gate staff notice someone with a one-way ticket they could ask for sight of one of these three; 1) Return ticket, 2) Onward ticket, 3) ‘Some sort’ of visa. Your DTV will definitely satisfy them.

What should I do after my Thai visa application was canceled due to missing my middle name?

@MacKenzie *****

Personally, I wouldn’t risk $

USD in view of how they operate. An extra $155 USD to guarantee your five year visa isn’t excessive. Additionally, reading between the lines, using this service might tip the scales in favour of success where the supporting evidence was ‘borderline’?

@Toni ******

Shoddy software development. No reasonable person would expect data correctly entered to change by simply paging backwards/forwards. No way should the customer have to lose $

USD.

@Elías *******

Problem was previously reported that paging backwards changed date of birth by one day. It’s a possible explanation in this case?
