Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a 1-year ED visa?

The discussion revolves around whether one can open a bank account in Thailand with a 1-year Education Visa (ED Visa). Participants point out that while an ED visa is not a tourist visa, banks may have varying policies regarding account openings for holders of this visa. Some users indicate that the initial sticker of the ED visa lasts only 3 months, leading to banks being hesitant to open accounts until the one-year extension is approved. Others suggest that presenting school documents proving enrollment in a full-year course might help in opening an account, although experiences differ widely.
