What are the requirements for foreigners opening a bank account in Thailand, particularly regarding the yellow book issue?

They want a yellow book for what?

I’m wondering what will happen to the funds when BB cancels accounts.

I also opened a Krungsri account without any problems, I’m done with BB.

In USA there would already be a class action suit filed against a bank that pulls such bs, it’s a breach of fiduciary trust.

why not just keep your money out of thialand if they going to make it that hard it's worth the atm charge nevermind

KBank better

Proof of residence from Immigration.

However, I opened a Krungsri account today with passport, non-o extension stamp, cell phone bill digital copy sent to bank email, TM-30 digital copy sent to bank email.

I changed the bank!If f they don't want my money I give IT to another!

Every branch every town, city, province make up their own rules, it is beyond bonkers. I find it useful to ask them to show you the regulation in their policies and at the same time be calling their customer services and repeat whatever bizarre rule they are trying to tell you. They more often than not will back down and say ok. Today I am here in my branch, no yellow book asked for. I signed the copies of the same documents I have signed maybe 20 times before. Passport, visa, tm30,(not this time), thai driving licences and then they asked me where my income comes from, I have some rental income from the UK and my brother repaying a loan from me at £250/month. No proof, or evidence just my word. CRAZY SHIT MAN.

If you own a condo no problems

If you’re living with a Thai significant other and they add you to the blue house book…no problem

If your landlord is cool and adds you to the blue house book for a nominal fee…no problem

If you’re cool with a Thai household that accepts you as family ahd adds you to a blue house book…no problem

That’s it that’s how you do it
