Hi, could anyone recommend either a good visa agent or a bank in the Roi Et, Khon Kaen area, struggling to get account on tourist visa, thanks

Answer summary

The discussion focuses on the challenges of opening a bank account in Thailand on a tourist visa, specifically in the Roi Et and Khon Kaen areas. Participants recommend seeking assistance from visa agents, particularly in tourist regions, as it's nearly impossible to open an account without a long-stay visa. A suggestion for an agent, A&S Services, is also included. Users share experiences of facing hurdles in the process and provide details about necessary documentation and fees involved.

Get an agent in a touristy area, sucks but you have to pay the agent. I tried and couldn't get an account either. Thailand makes you go through hurdles to get a retirement visa or even a bank account.

It’s almost impossible without a long stay visa now unless you get an agent to assist you. As Andy states there’s several agents in the tourist areas who can assist you. You’ll need to get a TM.30 from a hotel and minimum 15 days left on your current stamp. Fee 3500-4000 thb.

There are very few agents outside the tourist areas that I'm aware of, there are lots of visa agents in the tourist areas, such as Pattaya that would assist you with opening a bank account.
