@Mark ********

once living here we tend to fall into this crazy existence of superiority like we bring all this entitlement to Thailand because we pay or spend so much as opposed to average Thais. But we need to adjust ourselves at times to fit this culture that we all love. It's good to have these types of discussions in forums though expats should work together more I feel

@Mark ********

the DTV is definitely a game changer for banks but l am sure they will adapt over time. The ball is in the foreigners court on how we approach banks. It not like being in a bar some decorum required

@Andy *********

yeh probably because of the lack of paperwork. They are not opening accounts if you can't prove who you are. Even in the west you need several forms of identification to open an account.

@Sefton *******

stay tuned once the original 180 days is up we will see the responses. Hopefully as you say smooth sailing

@Mark ********

last week l opened an account bkk bank. No issue had all the required documents took awhile but hey l got time. She even set up the app for me it's great. The original person called over the manager little bit of talking amongst the 3 of us all good to go.

@Kim ********

whoever handles new accounts l am not caught up on their title.on the machine when you enter the bank you select new account you revive a number when your number is displayed you go to the person whose window number is displayed. Is that more specific for you. Are you questioning whether l have an account ?? Or infact l am even in Thailand 5555. I opened an account last week bkk bank 👌🍻

The school should cancel your work permit but if they don't it not nesacery. Your visa is actually tied to your school and work permit. So if you leave without a multi entry your visa is automatically cancelled regardless of your work permit. You are then free to apply for another visa. Same happened to me l returned on a visa exempt. Then the old school had to cancel my work permit before I could apply for another one. But if you are not teaching again no issue

@Henrik ****

just need a TM 30 if you can't get a certificate from immagration. That's what l used they just want an address and your passport
