I asked an agent today...

Initial visa 28k

A repeat visa 14k ( I got it for 6k not multi entry ).

Obv with Ur own money.

Opening a bkk bank was just a 500 deposit.

@Barry *********
That’s not how it works now. Only Bangkok Bank is willing to open accounts without a long term visa, meaning you already have one, not about to apply for one. Even then, the majority of Bangkok bank branches still won’t open one without going through an agent.
