Generally it's your passport, a certificate of residence and possibly your lease. Go to the branch and enquire. It seems there's two possibilities at Emquartier so try bothToni *****

I don't know, I never use agents, I just know from a number of reports relating to opening bank accounts that Thai Visa Centre will only open a bank account if you're also obtaining a visa through them. I don't know about any othersHathaway *************
