im from the UK and you can have a IDP for 5 years or less if your DL expires before then, as they are linked.

In my case my IDP is valid for 2 years as that's when my DL expires.

@Jonas ************

it does for 99.9% of people, but most people are simply stupid

@Shandy *******

to be honest the OCR auto filling fields for people prob prevents more user error overall.

@Lincoln *********

for fun?! And you're telling me to grow up? Irony certainly isn't lost on you.

@Lincoln *********

so clearly your US bank account wasn't sufficient for when you were living in Russia then. And proves my exact point! You are a dullard. 🤦‍♂️

@Lincoln *********

the world is bigger than the US and all banks are different and come with pros and cons.

Some cards from some banks are accepted more than others, some banks charge different rates, revolut is not available for every person in any country etc etc

Are you going to tell me a Russian bank account is going to be accepted as much as a US bank account based on the current situation.

So for many people who might not be as fortunate as yourself and are choosing to spend a significant amount of their time in Thailand it would make sense for them to have a Thai bank account.

Like I said the world is bigger than the US, and like true form you show how ignorant you are. I would like to see you live in as many countries so easy with a Russian bank account.

@Paul ******

exactly and this is what people are failing to grasp.

@Lisa **************

that doesn't mean you can't get one on a DTV ( that's how I got mine ) and your ignorance on why someone on a DTV needs one is just that... ignorance.

A DTV allows you 5 years in Thailand which many will use to live here and it's only logical to want a Thai bank account in that situation.

You over use of emojis is a true reflection of your IQ/EQ

@Rok *******

assumed wrong, got one on DTV

The amount of ignorance and rubbish dribbling out of people's mouths in here is insane.

You can work while in Thailand with a DTV! You just can't for a Thai company or Thai clients but can do remote work!

You can open a bank account on a DTV and you don't need an agent to do it.

There are many reasons to need a Thai bank account when here, for example paying bills like rent, medical bills, not everywhere takes cash and why pay fees on credit cards or exchange rate fees when you can transfer funds from your home country bank account to a Thai one.

Seriously people need to give it a rest spouting wrong advise and giving wrong information. Just because you don't have a need or wasn't able to do X Y Z it doesn't mean everyone else can't.

It's clear some people are getting more success than others, and that's all it is. Doesn't mean you can't!
