Hi, this is a continuation of a previous question I asked about opening up a bank account. Recap: I have a Non O visa on my Italian passport, I am residing in a monastery, the owner/abbess has provided a letter of residency, ID, householder book. I am in the process of getting my Italian ID card translated and notarized so I will have two valid forms of ID from the same country (apparently a French driver’s license does not count because they can’t seem to understand why an Italian would not have an Italian driver’s license). No bank in Nakhon Pathom, where I live, will open a bank account for me. My question: can I open a bank account in Bangkok even if my address is in another city? The visa agency says I can but I’m just double checking all of you. Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is asking if it is possible to open a bank account in Bangkok while residing in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, under a Non-O visa. Despite local banks in Nakhon Pathom denying service, they seek confirmation on the advice given by a visa agency that states they can open an account in Bangkok. Responses from the community suggest that it is possible to open an account in a different province, but there may be potential fees and complications associated with managing the account from another location.
