Hua Hin 500 baht, one hour. Free to collect in a week.

Interesting the comments about Wise customer service. Two observations - firstly what level of customer service do you expect from an ultra low cost technology company? Tried contacting banks, electric retailers, mobile companies lately. Sad to say, but most large companies have almost zero customer service if you are not a profitable customer.

Secondly I personally emailed WISE about a very unusual account set up I was looking to do. I had 3 Interactions via email over a period of 2 weeks. Courteous, meaningful emails. I was pleasantly surprised.

Anonymous participant Any agent who only wants to PM you with 'special information' is not to be trusted too much. She is trying to scare people into having private conversations with prospective clients.

I think the scare tactics are created by the OP. Exactly which agents said this, when and what media was used?

incorrect. The entry is stamped for 180 days. If immigration so decide they may let you extend. Just like a 1 year visa being extended year after year forever. It's still a 1 Year visa.

I think that marriage, Elite and LTR would also work.

It is currently almost impossible to open an account on the DTV visa, even some agents are staying on their web site that they can't help. I believe the US Embassy says on its web site that this is a tourist visa and thus you can't open a bank account. For those that day it can be done, it would be helpful to include a date when they personally opened a bank account, after March 2025, on a DTV visa and the name of the bank and the branch. Vague answers like I opened one somewhere at some point are really not helpful to those who are asking.

Alex, have you done this, or is it hearsay?
