Can tourist visa apply for Thai credit card?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among community members is that while it is technically possible for individuals on a tourist visa to apply for certain types of credit cards in Thailand, there are significant limitations and challenges involved. Most respondents agree that a secured credit card may be obtainable if the applicant provides a deposit as collateral, but approval often necessitates a work permit or a long-term visa such as a retirement or marriage visa. Experiences and opinions vary, with some asserting they have obtained unsecured credit cards without a work permit, while others claim that banks typically refuse applications from tourists. Overall, while possibilities exist, they are generally limited by the applicant's visa status and banking policies.
