Roberto *********

So you're trying to tell me that the

OMG! Now we're looking into morals!! They will tolerate it because the guy stays in Thailand spending money - that's the whole point of the DTV!! Jesus, when did expats get so moralistic over paying corruption to government officials? 😂😂

Yeah it's so funny. Every day expats are paying hundreds of thousands of baht in bribes to secure dodgy visa extensions through visa agents, and yet here are people going into meltdown because someone wants to cancel a course and get a refund! Do you realise how stupid this is? 😂😂😂

Can a tourist visa holder apply for a credit card in Thailand?

Roberto *********

It's not a problem. What I'm saying is you cannot get a credit card in Thailand without a lot of difficulty and with having to put a locked amount of money in a bank account to cover the credit limit
