Can I open a Thai bank account with an ED visa?

Yes you can. Bangkok bank is easy. You need a document to proof your address from your school and passort. I asked another banks and they all asked for work permit.

There is NO banking law in thailand that prohibits a person from opening a bank account on a 30 day visa exempt, a 60 day tourist visa or a Non-Immigrant visa.

Each branch makes up it's own policy. If one denies you walk down the street to another one. You WILL find one that will let you open an account.

Most banks do want proof of residence which you can get from your consulate or from some immigration offices. The Bangkok immigration office will not issue a resident certificate if you are not on an extension that does 90 day reporting.

What about on METV visa
