Paul Burnett is correct. 👍. You’re not working the system you are fine.

Not at the moment some companies get one within the condo purchase. But for 99% 800,000 baht required.

Change your verification processes to email not phone. Get Thai plan. Mines $7.5 a month.

Make sure the devices you are bringing are known by the banks etc. let them know your overseas 6 month travelling holiday. ( I know your not but helps transitioning).

Link any accounts to wise or other transfer account

Get a toggle from the bank to assist in overseas transfers and security. I have 1 for BOQ Oz and 1 for Uk bank.

Cancel Direct debits and bills

Get Medicare and update car licence if able too

Forwarding Australian address for Gov matters is best

Declare status at end of tax year to maximise any tax allowance. I.e. initial holiday.

TM30 as where you are living / staying has to be lodged.

Visa from your passport. Take a relative with Thai ID

Try KBank I find them the best but it’s each to their own.

Try yourself if not get an agent.

Can be difficult 😥 to do but that’s the way sometimes here. Amazing Thailand 🇹🇭 lol 😜

I’ve come in and put a future flight in. Never been asked to show proof over 30 times in last 20 years

Yellow book 📒 is an interesting one. Tried this week. Come back May 12th. Not sure what changes then but ho hum!

I was told by immigration bank stamped as people can print and modify anything with IT and AI skills.

Everyone has a choice.

My visa was approved in 6 days. 15 months

Need Bank to stamp it to be used. 200 baht fee usual.

No work to last order. Genuine tourists no issue

Show genuine tourist then your fine.
