Hi all, so I now have my non O-A visa and tomorrow I will take my TM 30 to immigration to get a residence certificate. So apart from those, my passport and another ID what else should I expect to need to open a bank account, also which bank is recommended? I am in Karon Beach Phuket. TIA
TLDR : Answer Summary
To open a bank account in Thailand with a non O-A visa, you typically need your passport, visa, and possibly a residence certificate. Some banks may also request a lease agreement or a Thai driving license, but requirements can vary by bank. It's advisable to have a Thai phone number as well. Recommended banks in the area include Kasikorn Bank and SCB, but be aware that banks often prefer customers with a stable, long-term residency status.
