I've been in Thailand a while and opened the account a few years ago. It was my first time entering with the DTV. A Lot of people have been discussing the bank account issue recently. I don't think I'm the best source on that re DTV holders without a current account. But if you search the posts you'll find a lot of useful info.
I don't think so, bc I had already done the TDAC online and mentioned it a couple of times. But yeah, it was pretty much the same info. Though extraneous, redundant paperwork is pretty on brand for TH.

No, I was already doing that. At the time I was exploring my options because I wasn't sure if my portfolio would be strong enough to be accepted or if it was safer to go with a soft power. I don't think it honestly even occurred to me that I could apply as a teacher at first. And then I worked it all out.
Anonymous participant if that is how it is formatted on your passport, then yes. It's difficult to confirm with 100% certainty without seeing the passport.
