My grandson is half-Thai. We had to start the passport application in our home country (USA). It’s much better than waiting at a later time. The U.S. embassy in BKK would not do the application. Maybe your country is different. You should check.
I’ll rephrase it. I choose not to spend $17,000 USD a year for insurance. I will hold on to that money for medical care. If I need care for something that’s going to cost a lot, I would fly home and use my government insurance. I should have explained better.
I tried 3 banks last week with my Thai daughter-in-law, a letter from my school and the schools government license. Have an ED visa. Denied at all 3 banks.
No longer able to open a bank account on certain visas. Definitely not on a tourist visa, not even an ED. You need a rental agreement, and a Thai phone number in your name also. Government has really cracked down,
