Do I need to create a family portfolio PDF for applying dependent visas in Thailand?

I hope the "Get an agent" brigade read this 555

Went to Kungsri to ask for the requirements, they asked for my passport and opened the account right away. No additional papers. Installed the app on my phone

Krungsri, SCB, Kasikorn. It is better to go with your wife. Mobile phone number certificate (free or 50thb), second document (ID card or driver license any country), residence certificate from Immigration. marriage certificate, Thai wife ID card and her house book copies. 500-2000thb.

I came in on a 90 day Non-O immigration visa last week, made sure immigration stamped my passport with Non-O, did the TM30 within the 24 hours, got my own SIM account with AIS, then on Monday went to Kasikorn, they checked my passport stamp, took copies of my marriage certificate, passport details page, TM30, blue Tambien Bann that confirmed the TM30. All done within an hour, but helped that Mrs. J was with me as the Thai got a bit complicated at times. Now I'll deposit the 400k and let it fester before going for my extension based on marriage...All the best to you, you don't need an agent.

Kasikorn, Krungsri, but you might need to visit several offices until they accept.

You are on a O-visa so all you shoould need is a reidency certificate from Immigration, I think you have to pau a couple of hundred baht for this. For some things they are free but I think to use one for a bank you pay. In mu opinion the best bank is Kasikorn, I've had several accounts with them in different cities and they appear to be very expat freindly and also they can produce the 12 month statement at any branch on the spot without having to pre-order it unlike a few of the other banks. Some banks/branches require other document such as a copy of the rental agreement but I've never needed any thing except my passport & residency certificate. If you want to use the phone app then the phon's sim card (or esim) has to be registered to you and your passport.

If you have Pink card / House book you can open bank account K. bank .

I just did this one month ago. I would recommend Kasikorn Bank (K Bank). Very professional, excellent English skills.

They will want:

- your passport with your Non-Immigrant “O” visa.

- Thai mobile number. The SIM must be registered to your passport.

- your home country drivers licence as additional proof of your home country address.

- certificate of residency from your local immigration office specifically for opening a bank account.

- your tenancy agreement, stamped/notarised by your Immigration office.

- your current TM30.

It took me just over one hour to get an account opened. My wife is Thai and was a big help with translation of some of the finer points.

K Bank have an excellent mobile phone banking app. It has been very easy and fast to transfer funds from the UK to my K Bank account.

My wife’s Aunt used to work for Bangkok Bank. She said they make it more difficult for foreigners to open bank accounts with them as they really don’t want the hassle or the business.

Stop trying to Scam just get your visa and bank account and get your 400k in it quit crying about agents doing a bad job as there not legal anyway grow up man

Kbank or SCB, don't use Bangkok Bank

K Bank . The certificate of residence is usually addressed to a specific bank (for specific purpose) so probably best to ask for the Kasikorn Bank and then try few K Bank branches. You would be surprised the variation of requirements between them.

To open an account you will need a residency certificate and a Thai phone number registered in your name . A passport of course showing your status . Did mine in 15 minutes at kasikorn bank . The residency cert you get from immigration . With all this take your wife and if she owns a house take the house book or your rental lease

Kbank

K bank seems to be best to deal with , don't use Bangkok bank 🤔👍

Mate contact thai visa centre in bkk they will sort everything 4u

I needed marriage documents, residence certificate, Thai SIM, and a copy of my husbands ID.

KBank.

My suggestion is to go to a couple or three banks near where you live and ask what they require. All require a SIM or eSIM registered in your name, a non immigrant O visa in your case, then it's up to the bank. Some rquire a Certificate of Residence from your local immigration office. Some your lease and another form of ID. I have read people have used their home country driver's license. So go ask, then get the documents they require. You do know the ฿400K needs to be in your account for two months before you can apply for an extension of permission to stay in the Kingdom?

What agent did you use?

Immi will need the TM30 when you apply for a Certificate of Residence along with a passport sized photo and your passport. Bank needs the Certificate of residence, Visa etc. Not sure if you need copies of passport bio and visa stamp pages etc or they do it at the bank.

The bigger challenge for you will be getting the extension on a Marriage visa. That sounds like the hardest from a bureaucracy point of view.

"I heard I might need some document from immigration showing my residence registration? Where would I get this?"

Ummm, you get it from immigration like you said? It's called a residence certificate and you'll need it for most banks.

"Would a TM30 from my landlord suffice?"

The bank is not interested in your TM30.
