@Michael *******

that's great but you still haven't answered the question, which country.

No, it's not difficult. If you have managed to get that far in life I'm sure you can do it without speaking a word in thai, I've done it myself with all the info I could find on the web.

To summarize it:

1. Visa: Tourist -> more than 30 days validity

2. Location: Bangkok: -> You need to have had TM30 filled if renting privately. I don't know how that would work with a hotel.

Step 1. Go to immigration (Immigration Division 1, Immigration Chaeng Wathana ) with copy of your address registration and ask to apply for a letter confirming your address for the purpose of obtaining driver's licence. They have this special form.

Pay and wait 14 days.

Step 2. With that letter, go to DTL building 4 (I think) and apply for thai licence with your IDP. You will need to do a few tests, such as colour blind test, reaction time etc.

@Terry *******

How much was it originally ? when was the last time it was issued ?

@Frances *******

Don't you have a PDF editor for your bank statements ?

P.S. I don't understand how bank cannot update/fix your name. If that's really the case then get a new bank and normalize your name across everywhere.

P.S.S. What does it even mean "passport name" and "married name". You should have only one legal name. I don't understand how Americans/westerners put random names on documents. e.g. Francois and Frank, Katherine and Kath.

The only exception is if you have a Thai and English name.

@Marty ********

What makes you say that LTR is about passive income, what about "LTR Work From Thailand Professional" ?

I wonder, do Thais need to carry Thai ID card on them at all times ?

@Dennis **********

deported on what basis?

@Lyndon ***********

you seem Competent in this topic. Can you get fired on the spot and effectively must leave same day? Do you generally have a 1-4 week notice period for your employment in Thailand?
