Can I open a Thai bank account with a six month multiple entry tourist visa?

Times and rules have changed. What you’re saying was then now. Don’t misguide people with what was in the past. You should know by now just as soon as you learn the current Thai rules they change

Look into other banks with tourist account options

No

%100 KrungSri bank

I got mine with a non-immigrant Ed visa 8-9 years ago, is still available now.

Was good experience learning Thai language 👍

You mean DTV, no.

If you got any visa problems just pay an agent they will sort it out but it will cost you 20 times the normal amount .I was quoted baht for a non immigrant.

Open it from Khao San Road

I opened account without ANY visa, but that was over 20 years ago. Last year I opened another account and then they wanted to see my 1year visa...

Are you wanting tha thai bank acount as an enabler to achieve something else i.e to deposit baht a month, for a year, in order to obtain a long term visa..... Just seams odd why someone going on holiday for couple months needs a bank account

Easy go and ask the bank

NO!!!!

No there are getting stricter now ,

But it will all change again.

no

Bangkok Bank are not useful for Farrang and sometimes hold onto without permission

No…dear

Ed visa

No.

I got a Thai bank account, a Thai wife, and a Thai house .... Now yer all wondering if I'm lucky or not ....🙂

What the hell kind of visa is that ?

Yes you can, around 15 years ago.

Legal not ,for about 10 years already 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just use your Thai girlfriends account and no worries and it won't get frozen, That'swhat i do, supper convenient as well because I don't have keep transferring money when she wants somethingto eat! Happy days! 😊

If you can we as thai people don't want you

You can open a bank account with any visa.

Ignore the nay sayers ....

You just have to find a branch that accepts you.

Just visit as many of bank branches as you can, and ask ! 🫡

Not legally…..

I open one they closed it 1 year later !

What are the benefits of having a Thai bank account ? Having a Wise fits the bill nicely. Banks are such thieves.

No

Simple really.....

Why would a "tourist" need a bank account.... Where would your home nation allow this?

Just get Wise Or Chime.

I did without any visa but 2017

No

You need business visa, or work permit

No

No, even with DTV not possible

No. Only visas classified as "non-immigrant" long term "tourist" visas like the ED and DTV would qualify. You'll need the TM30 taken to immigration to obtain a Certificate of Residence. You'll also need a passport with at least 6 months of validity (also make copies), two recent 1x1" passport photos, a valid drivers license from your home country (get a certified English translation, if not in English), an International Drivers Permit (IDP), and a medical certificate from a clinic or hospital (within 30 days). You still can't open a Thai bank account with a Thai drivers license. However, it can serve as a valid secondary ID in Thailand. It can also be used for KYC for the popular TrueMoney Wallet app, unlocking its Advance tier. You'll be able to use QR scan payments for private and smaller merchants, making long term stay in Thailand more convenient.

Normally... No

A long time ago there were banks that would open you an account with just that, but recently Thai banks have tightened A LOT even for people with work permits they don't want to give bank accounts without loads of other documents.

Non.

No

Maybe a shady agent can do it for you

Technically no

Only with a non immigrant visa u can open a bank account

An agent will help you.

Better Wise card

5 year DTV holders can’t get one.

And you think a 6 month tourist visa might stand a chance? 🤣

No

The Bank, I tried it at told me I needed a one year visa but I only tried with One Bank so I hope you all have better luck

No

There is a difference between I did before and can I do now lots of new rules some agents can still get you a account but not many

No way

Why does a tourist need a Thai bank account

As likely as that you use the search function

No

Nope

Cannot

I dont think so

No

Why would you want to

No

NO

No

🎱 outlook, not good

No.

No. There are more layers of requirements. Talk to banks and they will tell you what is needed.

I didn’t have any problems opening an account. Did driving license, yellow book/pink ID card on a tourist visa.

I think it all depends on who is sitting opposite you when you try to do certain things in Thailand.

No

No. You need a residents visa

I have one as a tourist

Oh hell no with tourist visa 😂

No, you cannot. You’re welcome👍🏻

You can open bank account with 2 year visa

Take a tour of your local banks, ask them, you may be surprised.

No

No

If bank let you 😃👍

I just got one on a 60 day tourist entry from australia,paid an agent and got bank account and 15 month visa, wasnt cheap though.

Best to get a Non O 3 month visa from your own country 1st.

No

No you don't!

Just curios. Why on earth would you want to?

For what?

No

If you buy a 7-11 franchise or pool villa

You'll spend 6 months trying

No

You need to be on a one year stay or longer to open a bank account.

We use SCB

u need a lease and a home thai address ive got a siam bank one but had it a few yrs now .i had a multi entry o visa .things prob have changed like everything else .

not anymore, used to be very easy, but that was 25 years ago, regulations were non existent

No

No chance 🙂‍↔️ even Agency still blind

No

No.

The simple answer is no. It MAY be possible using an agent but chances are the account will be frozen afterwards since tourists can’t open accounts on a tourist visa.

No you can not unless If you have TM30 and a postpaid Thai mobile number then you can

Even if an agent can open one fir you, risks are high that you lose your account later. Guess I’m just one of the lucky few that kept it for years. I only keep a minimal amount of money in the account and ny landlord knows that in the wirst casr i have to switch to wise which he’s fine with. Some want an official payment confirmation

No

O

Nope

No

No

No

Yes, pay 6,000 thb at agent

No, as a thai citizen and resident, if you are going to somehow open the account, dont use bangkok bank.

Try it... the best teacher is also called Experience.

Not anymore. Rules are tightening under Anutin.

Bangkok Bank used to be the best for foreigners but then suddenly blocked account access for many last year.

Agents can for a price

No

No,

With an agent maybe and you need also to buy an insurance, but.....

The chance is great that your account will be blocked after 3 months.

No but when you do get sorted to open a bank account K Bank seems to be the best for us..👍it seems it depends on which area your bank is in as to which is best

Not even with a DTV

No

Mark Pinchin no

Nope

No only if you have a Non O visa.

No

No

Tourists are not eligible to open bank accounts in Thailand.
