Can I open a Thai bank account online from the UK for a 3-month trip?

No

You will be lucky if they even let you do it there

If the only purpose is to pay with Promptpay you can get a

as alternative.

If you are entering as a tourist then you can’t get a bank account. Need a more permanent visa.

Long term visa (retirement)

Property owner (Condo)

Non-O WP

Non-O marriage

Elite visa/DTR visa

That’s it

Just use wise

It’s a lot more complicated than people say it is. First you have to get a visa. Non o is ok. Then make appointment with bank. Or just walk in. You need a long term address. Proper ID and then there are about twenty forms to sign. All in the Thai language. It is better to have a Thai agent to help you.

Not a chance will you be able to open a bank account from overseas.

Great laughing reactions from people that have no idea how to help.

If your living in London,look up Bangkok bank London and give them a call and explain your circumstances

Worth a punt

No

I’ve just opened one, I’m from the uk. I had to show my non o visa £60 apply in Uk

A Thai phone contract, I took out one for 6 months, a lease agreement, passport, I paid 300baht for the ATM card and the customer service lady downloaded the app on my phone for me.

They have ATMs in Thailand.

No need to open a bank account.

It seems now all banks are only allowed to let Long Term Residents open a bank acct not for tourist staying 3mths doing regular trips

Bank system changing. Then visa renewal time wonder where people went

You can’t online.

Need the correct visas, to qualify for a bank account, to be able to do so.

Best using Wise or Revolt cards.

Best to apply for a non O over 50 retirement visa through the evisa system online before yiu travel. You cannot open a thai bank account from the uk you have to be in thailand and physically go into the banks to see if they will open an account for you. Your best chance is having the O visa before you arrive. You will also need to have a thai telephone number/sim card and get a residence certificate from immigration using your TM30 from your place of stay. If you want to get the yearly extension you will need to deposit 800k baht into your new account within the first week or 2 to give it the 2 months required to season. For the non O in the uk you can show the equivalent 800k baht in uk pounds from your uk account or 65k baht monthly income in uk pounds.

En tant que touriste vous ne pouvez plus ouvrir un compte banquaire

No. You get your nonO in UK ( they usually require visa). Enter Thailand, go to bank and open account.

You need a long term visa to open a bank account these days and not a 60 day visa exempt entry stamp.
