No is the clear answer. Won't be denied based on that history.

Yes, we agree. a chimpanzee can do it. And many of them do. But the 'problem' you seem unaware of, is the basics of finance. 800,000 in the bank somewhere pays at least 5%. (i make 7.75% on fixed income) which would result in 40k baht in annual interest gains. An agent renewal costs about 14k. So that leaves 26k (at least) in your jeans every year and you didn't waste a single second of your retirement life standing next to Jeremy in lineups. And 'people watching' at CW.... because there is nowhere else to people watch in BKK. We know that doing it yourself is easy, it's just not financially very smart.

@Jeremy *******
your life would have to be awfully mundane to call standing in immigration lines an ‘adventure’!!! But sounds like you have found your niche in the 'save a few nickels' line. 🤣🤣😂. If I need people for this some year, how about if i pay you 300 baht every year to stand in line for me? Saves you a few more satangs and the added advantage of some more people watching at CW.

Anonymous participant 868 good point, the rules for the card can be far more complex than necessary. Nothing about DTV should preclude it, but given the challenges DTV holders are facing with banking, maybe it's a problem
