ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
To open a bank account in Thailand, the required documents can vary by bank and location. Generally, you'll need a passport, a visa (preferably long-term, like a NON-O or a residential permit), and proof of residence. Some banks may also require an initial deposit. Using an agent can be helpful, especially for those facing difficulties, but it's important to be cautious of additional fees. In some cases, even short-term visitors have been able to open accounts, but this is increasingly rare.
