@Greg *******
I am not sure but it sounds like you agree 😅

Regardless the process of opening a bank account is not super bad.

I even managed to open one in china with a tourist visa a few years ago.

So for me Thailand having stricter regulation than china is wild

Yes, tourist can open you just need to provide a passport - don't need any long term visa either.

For example, you can open a bank account in the US/Singapore/UAE without even physically coming.

So I have no idea why it's so complicated in thailand.
Gur *************
I would say probably not.

The meaning behind all the approvals is yo make sure you are both a net positive influence over Thailand's economy and stability.

Seems you will qualify assuming rest of the financial documents are in order.

Seem like you did a good job communicating the situation to immigration.

Just a reminder to all of us to be as strict as possible with ourself about the regulation.

@Paul *******
the taxes in my country are higher I can assure that unfortunately 😅

@Rob ********
the question is how does it work, given I am an employed in another country and pay taxes there.

Would I be double tax, would they require me to pay tax for bank transfers?

Or symbolic resident tax?

I am trying to understand the implications (I already pay 31 percent of my income and more in taxes).
