I hope drivers licenses become the same. Where applicants actually have ro do the tests and prove they have the skill and knowledge to use a car or bike in thailand.
Team can I suggest you look at a wise bank account. Keeps ypur money offshore. Automaticslly comverts to thsi naht at good rates. Get up to 5% interest on money in it. I don't bring banking into thailsnd. Just cash and wise.
May help in future with tax issues if ypu don't use deposits system. DTV is a tourist/soft visa so your not a resident. Do your own research.
clearly you don't know the comparison of the two. The dtv is a valid option for net worth individuals with money in their home country. Who are you to say it's not an option. The dtv saves him money and eases the visa process for him.
