@Tim ********

long term visas are good to get bank accts

DTV are not

@Tim ********

as of 1 month ago everything changed

@Tim ********

yes I said that

@Steffen ****************

thank you for repeating what I stated

Seeing that dtv Visas don’t rate Thai bank accts

Then it has to be in a bank acct anywhere other than Thailand

Why cancel its good for 5 years??

Sounds like a solid plan

Good luck

When in Vietnam have some egg coffee

Get with a visa agent they can make magic happen at eye popping rates but still

According to Thailand's official rules, you can bring up to $20,000 USD or the currency equivalent into the country before you have to declare it to customs. If you're bringing Thai baht (THB) into the country rather than a foreign currency, the most you can carry with you is 500,000 THB.

The Thai banking system is the wild Wild West where no one really says anything about where your money comes from

Good Luck
