Hi looking to move to Thailand in September and been advised to get a 90 day none O visa. I need a Thai bank account though how easy is this to do. Apologies if it’s been asked before. I will be converting the 90 none O visa when there into a retirement visa.
Answer summary
The author is planning to move to Thailand in September and is seeking advice on opening a Thai bank account while on a 90-day Non-O visa, which they intend to convert into a retirement visa later. Comments suggest that it is possible to obtain the Non-O visa directly in Thailand if arriving with a tourist visa or visa-exempt status. Additionally, it is emphasized that opening a bank account must be done after arriving in Thailand.

Get your Non O Visa for retirement from your home country is helpful.

BUT not necessary.

You can arrive into Thailand with a TOURIST VISA...

Even VISA EXEMPT....

then get the Non O Visa for retirement from your local Thai immigration office.

You can get the Thai Bank account in your name only AFTER you are in Thailand.

Not 🚫 before.

"Unfortunately, how to open a bank account in thailand is NOT a visa question 😕

There are hundreds of articles, thousands of posts on the inter-web about it. Google it, start reading, then start pounding the pavement, you'll get an account opened, it might take time, but you can do it if you don't give up 🙂"
