@Henrik ****

every time someone asks for advice about opening a bank account, you pop up, saying it's impossible!! when it is 100% possible, when you get the assistance of an agent, there are agents in Pattaya that open bank accounts everyday, for people on short term visas, so your advice saying it's impossible is incorrect.

@David ******

I've sent you a pm

@Pete ******

฿7000 what does that include?? Lots of agents in Pattaya do it for ฿3500-฿4000, without buying the banks accident insurance, you just need to also pay the bank for the ATM card, and make a deposit into your newly opened account.

You don't visit any embassy, you search on the Thai e-visa website, to see which is the most suitable visa to suit your needs.

i have no experience with them, you will need to check if everything is as expected.

@Tee *********

Are you interested in Thai cooking, are you actually going to attend the classes?? Or was it just to obtain the visa?? Because there seems to be cheaper alternatives than ฿40k, I saw a muay Thai gym comment on a post yesterday, saying they have a 6 month course for ฿15,000, they claim to have over 30 successful applicants, none rejected so far for the DTV.

@Paul ******

so the embassy or consulates, that require 2 or 3 or 6 months of bank statements, it just needs to show past transactions of any amount?? I thought when they were requesting bank statements, for previous months it needed to show a balance of 500k, I'm confused now, everyone keeps giving different information 😅🙆

@Seb *******

I understood it, the funds can be in a bank account in any country 🤔
