@Dennis ********
same situation with work...you could stop working just after getting the DTV. Either they didn't think through all the use cases, or just don't care after you get it ......I wonder....

Wise took their fee during the transfer.

This was a line item on my bank statement about a week after and only .3%. .....of that amount but not sure related. Sorry I wrote 3% earlier by mistake.

I would think it would be useful for a bank to keep an account open especially with hundreds of thousands of baht in it ;)

Btw...are transfers into Bangkok Bank or any Thai bank taxed now?

I just moved a large amount in using Wise from a USA bank and noticed a tax line item ..looks about 3%.

Do they check for an updated tm30 on the 90 day check in? Do you need to bring a copy?

I use my Google voice number since it uses data and I'm mostly on wifi. Not sure if numbers are still available but it's great...text too!

I'm reading conflicting information.

Do you need to now enter Thailand to 'activate' the DTV?

I thought you just get the visa and can enter anytime later....

I find most Airbnb hosts don't do it...not sure why not. It's pretty easy online. Ask them if used

That's interesting about utility bill...in UK?

Funny how requirements differ by country and maybe embassy.

Integrity Legal has good YouTube on this DTV....how policy people not talking well to immigration...and so much uncertainty..lol
