Do I need a Thai-English rental contract to apply for an address certificate in Thailand?

@Alex ******

krungsri opened mine just with rental contract.

I don't sorry. There are just common tips to try and find a bank. Mostly it just involves asking many banks.

Go to branches inside of the bigger malls as they will speak English and used to dealing with foreigners. Bring a Thai friend if possible. Have money ready to deposit and mention it.

The most common thing they will say is that you must purchase an insurance policy to open an account (around 5000 baht) but it's not true at all. It's just each branch makes their own rules.

You can either move on to the next branch to ask, pay the money and get an account, or find an agent to help you. But the agent fees are usually around 5000 baht for bank account as well.

The important thing to remember is even with the same bank, every branch has their own rules.

So kbank in Emquartier will have different rules than Kbank in Siam. You'll have to ask each branch individually.

tm30 only requires one night. If the owner does the filing the lease is irrelevant for that

your friend can sign up online to file TM30s. It is very easy. If you were to get a hotel for a day to do that, your friend would still need to file one when you moved into the condo. When you apply for a residence letter from immigration they mail it to you.

@Alex ******

you can do it online

Bangkok is one of the offices that will not issue a certificate unless you’ve filed a 90 day report - which you can’t do on a tourist or exempt entry.
