ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Opening a bank account at Kasikorn Bank with a Non-O 3-month visa can be straightforward, requiring minimal documentation. Users report generally positive experiences, with some stating it only took them about 35 minutes. Required documents often include a passport with the correct visa and, optionally, a Thai driver's license instead of a residency certificate. There may be a fee of around 300 baht for an ATM card, but the account opening itself is typically free. Comments indicate varied experiences at different branches, with some facing longer wait times.
