ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
To open a bank account in Thailand as an expat, it is advisable to apply for a NON-O visa before arriving, especially if you are over 50 years old. Entering on a visa exemption may complicate the process of setting up a bank account. Additionally, certain documentation, such as proof of income or pension exceeding the required amount (about 65,000 baht per month), may be needed to support your application.
