Is it true that I can use my wife's or a joint account for the financial requirement of a family visa in Thailand?

Stephan ***********

@Benjamin ******

You're correct... joint account needs double money... period. Also, as Brandon mentioned already, not all offices like/accept joint accounts. Don't listen to your other "experts"... they probably talk about experience when using some kind of (more or less shady) agent...

What is the process to obtain a certificate of residency from the immigration office in Thailand to open a bank account?

By law it's free country wide... but mostly you have to wait one or two weeks. What we pay for is the "express service fee"... 😁

When does the 2000 baht fine for late 90-day reporting in Thailand start to apply?

Stephan ***********

@Khine ************

Yes, because there is a time window... 15 days before due date, 7 days after... for reporting in person. For mail or online the windows are smaller.

Do expats still need a TDAC with DTV in Thailand?

Stephan ***********

Typical fine is 2,000 Baht, but... as usual it depends on your local immigration office.

How do I calculate the 90-day reporting period for immigration in Thailand?

Stephan ***********

The day you enter is always "Day 1", so... add 89 days to your entry stamp... that's your "due date". Since you report in person you have a time window of 15 days before and 7 days after the due date. There will be no notification (that's only after you did the report online), it's your job to take care of it.

For calculation...

@Stuart ********

I'm using facial recognition with Bangkok Bank (activated about two years ago) and also with Kasikorn (new account from this year). Never had any problem...

What are some alternative scan payment apps for expats in Thailand who have switched to a DTV visa?

Stephan ***********

@Elías *******

Yep, even for shared accounts... only one registered person, the app only on one device, phone number has to be registered with the account owner. If you want to change your phone or tablet or whatever you use, you need to go to the bank. That's how it is, at least for Bangkok Bank.
