its full access I'm on dtv and just used my license. I also have a bank account from years ago. I have 50k sitting in my true money and use it to pay power/water since my bank doesn't work for those 2.

@Brian ***

you can also use your thai driver license to unlock.

@Greg *******

really because I was questioned over it and had to show my business and deposits in usa when I applied. Even under soft power because I had been in thailand for 1.5 years and only left for short time. I applied through Taiwan while it was walk in applications and had to stay an extra day to interview immigration and explain where my money comes from.

It really depends they might be more critical on your source of funds. They may ask to prove where your 500k thb comes from and what you have been doing for work. They will want to make sure you haven't been working illegally in thailand.

@Dany *******

that's not true. If that Income isn't remitted to thailand in the same year it was earned. There are lots of specifics so everyone's case is different.

Only if they have taxes to remit. Lots.of countries have double taxation agreements and depending on the timing and source of funds things are tax exempt. If you stay 180 days and have income that falls into a taxable category then you would.

@Innes *****

I don't think it's worth the price just convenient. I think the DTV is a much better value just a little future uncertainty surrounding it with how the government tends to flip flop.

Your wife could get the thailand elite visa to last until she's over 50.

@Bradley *******

stop fear mongering there have been 0 visa revoked based on this and it isn't a policy it's just an idea some have how it could work. You're posting an opinion like fact.

You'll usually need passport and tm-30 plus supporting documents for the intended purpose of the residency certificate. Like your booked appointment for license test or the paperwork for a vehicle purchase or sale etc.
