it seems he is doing it for the first time, ฿12k to ฿15k is only for a 12 month extension, it seems to be around ฿30k for the first time, 90 day non O + 12 month extension = 15 months this is in Pattaya, assuming he is talking about a retirement visa, he doesn't actually say 🤷😂🤣😂
It's probably a best guess scenario, I suppose you only have two options, just send them copies of all the pages, and hope they understand that you only entered Thailand after the application process was complete, or send them all the pages, except the final page with your visa exempt stamp on it, and let them assume it's blank, the second option is not the most honest, but your not really doing anything wrong, nobody on here really knows, so it's your call.
There must be something going on with this DTV visa, why are they giving people a 5 year visa for one doctor's appointment, it just seems strange 😂🤣😂😎🇹🇭
It doesn't make any sense to be doing all the messing around, trying to use someone else's bank account, when you say you will need your own account in a couple of months anyway, for visa purposes, if you're doing the visa yourself, you will need to season the funds for two months anyway, an agent can assist with opening a bank account on a tourist visa.
Contact an agent in Pattaya, it is usually a lot cheaper than doing it in Bangkok, you can get the bus from Ekkamai bus station to Pattaya, and the same to go back.
select cardless withdrawal at the ATM, and authorise it using the app, it is free for out of area withdrawals, it is usually ฿15 for out of area withdrawals, only if you use the physical card.
sounds like you got lucky, they must have been happy with the documents you provided, I believe banks in Thailand are independent businesses, so can have different requirements from bank to bank, in the last two years people have been getting refused a lot, on short term visas trying to do it themselves.
on a post someone stated Mots can't open a bank account for people under 50 years old, I'm assuming it means for people on short term visas, even tho the DTV is a 5 year visa, they seem to be classing it as a tourist visa.
