Bank account on Koh Phangan with Non O Retirement Visa

Hello, can someone please tell me the requirements to open a bank account at Kasikorn Bank and Krungsri Bank on Koh Phangan with a 90 day a Non O Retirement Visa? Thank you 🙏
Answer summary
To open a bank account at Kasikorn Bank or Krungsri Bank in Koh Phangan with a Non O Retirement Visa, you typically need the following documents: 1) Your Non O Visa (printed), 2) A residence certificate from immigration, 3) A Thai phone number registered to your passport, and possibly an additional form of ID from your home country (like a driver's license). However, requirements may vary by bank and branch, so it's recommended to confirm directly with the bank.

Typically at any bank anywhere, you need:

1) your non-o Evisa (printed out)

2) a residence certificate

3) a Thai phone number that is registered to your passport (your cell phone provider will give you a receipt)

Depending on the bank and/or branch they may ask for another form of ID from your home country (driver's license)
