How can I open a bank account in Bangkok on a visa exempt entry?

Opening a bank account Visa exempt entry Banking in Thailand Expat resources in Thailand Thai Visa Centre Thailand visa application

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi,

Can anyone recommend an Agent in Bangkok that could help with opening a bank account when I visit next on a visa exempt entry. At a later date I will be applying for a longer term visa, but could do with a bank account in place now.

(I asked the Thai Visa Centre but they tell me they will only help if they also handle my visa application which I don't want to do yet.)

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking recommendations for agents in Bangkok who can assist with opening a bank account during their visit under a visa exempt entry. They plan to apply for a longer-term visa later but require a bank account beforehand. A comment mentions that generally, a bank account can only be opened with a minimum of a 3-month visa stay.

Ok. I found it very difficult, and I was on a 1year education visa, but I guess I did do it on my own, no agents. I also had to show my long term lease contract.
