I hope you don't mind I ask if a foreigner is able open a Thai bank account when they visit Thailand on Their Tourist visa?

My partner plans to come to Thailand on a tourist visa, then we are going to get a married certificate in Thailand. Then, he will return to the UK and apply for a married visa from the UK (I will come to the UK with him to attend my graduation ceremony). Does this sound like a possible plan? Thank you so much.

Unfortunately opening a bank account in thailand is NOT all that thai visa related . :O

There are more than enough posts on the inter-web in f/b groups or forums that tell foreigners how to open a bank account on a 30 day visa exempt or a tourist visa.

Good Luck (y) Google is your friend.
