Can an agent assist in opening a bank account with an entry visa in Thailand?

No. Follow the rules. 🤦

@Michael nope is its not a long term visa. Tell my what visa do you have

No

Yes. And 99 times out of 100 it's illegal and you will pay eventually.

With a Non O retirement visa yes. With a tourist or DTV visa no.

No

@THAI *****************************

these guys are the best. They’ve been perfect every time for me. Fast, professional, reliable service.

Years ago you could get an account on a tourist visa but not anymore. Many who had one have had their accounts frozen. You

Need a proper longer term visa to get an account. Not even agents can help anymore with this, it’s bank protocol

No. It will be freeze.

It is mandatory to have a Retirement O Visa (or equal) to open a bank account ... Touri stamp is 100% not working

Some agents can help you to open a bank account. Yes, very sure of this. About hiring agents, regardless of what other people say, simple thing with hiring agent is, if you have enough money or good money to hire agents, you can save a lot of times and energy. And no need to get a stress and hassle with very friendly and reasonable Thai banks and authorities. They are so friendly and reasonable, so that all foreigners can do it by themselves in so easy way. But if you have money, agent will do all for you. What you will do is just thinking of what would you do for your life. If you do not have enough money for agent, you have to do all by yourself. It costs nothing but it just costs your working. You have to work on it. Not bad at all. You can save a lot of money!!

Yes

Do a Google search for agents

I think this relates to a visa exempt stamp ! I might be wrong, but if it does, its not possible now !

Since about October last year no chance. You need a non-immigrant visa

No agent can open a bank account on a tourist visa.

have you tried asking a agent

Why not leave your money in your home country bank and draw from atm

We offer this service but its tied with a long term visa where we help you obtain both at the same time while on a Visa Exemption / Entry Visa.

some agents still can do it, I heard. but, after you got thai bank account, your Thai bank can close or freeze your account at any time. then, the agent can not do anything for this. Just refer to this. Agent can open an account for you, that is all.

We can help open a bank account but for visa Non-O

Why do you need to open a bank acc if not a long term visa holder.

It cost extra.

Yes.

Yes

Why does someone need a bank account on a 60-day entry stamp?

I believe you can they know all the in and outs

Yes Thai Visa Centre can assist you with opening a bank account. No idea how much but it can be done with them.

If you mean tourist,why you need a bank account?

There's one way to find out

Simple answer NO. First opening a bank account is easy. Just walk in with passport, visa, address and money to pay in. In the banks they speak very good English.

I did it myself when applying for a non O visa

Do it the right way, Retirement Visa after the age of fifty, apply for a non 0 visa first then two weeks after that you can get a retirement Visa , show proof of residency go to Thai immigration and get them to give you a document showing you can open a bank account go to a bank with the Immigration document,my preference is Kasikorn Bank there are other pathways also like a marriage Long-Term Visa: Non-immigrant visas (B, O, ED, O-A, O-X), LTR, or Thai Elite Visa.

Valid Passport: Must have at least 6 months validity.

Proof of Address: A certificate of residence from Thai Immigration is the best option. A Certificate of Residence from your embassy or a signed lease agreement can also work.

Thai Mobile Phone Number: Necessary for banking apps and security.

Additional Docs: Sometimes a work permit, student letter, or reference letter from your home bank is needed.

If you are willing to pay they are usually willing to help..

I more interested in how you got an entry visa

What entry visa?

I don't really know of any agents that can open accounts for tourists anymore. Some of them will still do it if you're converting to a non-O visa from a tourist visa though and you're paying them for the whole package. Even then it's like 20,000 baht just for the bank account.

Do not use third party for handling your account in Thailand and anywhere in the world. Its a dead trap waiting fr you. Why is so desperate. Take your time and DRIFT (do it right in the first time)

Even you got the account, they may freeze if no qualified visa.

Ask one...

With visa exemption, yes some agencies can, but only if you do it as a total package with applying for a Non O and extension of stay with them.

Yes, if you let the agent help you acquire a 90 day non O visa

Contact Grace, the owner of the Thai visa centre. She is a great help

What sort of entry visa? If you have a Non-immigrant visa you can do it yourself

Do you mean

A 60 day stamp ?

= No

yes, in 2001
