Why is my Non-O entry stamp being rejected by the bank as a valid document?

This is one reason I am using a visa service to get me through this retirement visa process. Yes, it is a little expensive but if it the outcome is positive and less stressful for me then it is worth it to me.

It's not a visa, it's an entry stamp.

Il faut leur montrer le visa non 0 format papier

Is everyone so tight on money. I opened bank account on Visa exempt stamp, still have one but working on my marriage Visa. I just paid an agent a fee and had no problems opening an account. If you don't have enough money to pay an agent a little then you don't have enough money to live in Thailand

Go get a retirement visa, I went through Anna’s visa, did everything for me

I had no problem opening a Bangkok Bank account last week with my O visa—it was actually super easy as long as I had all the documents. They did require me to purchase the accident insurance they offer, and I needed formal paperwork from my condo (like a rental contract or residence letter). They also asked for the visa confirmation that immigration emailed me, plus a photo of the passport stamp showing my entry. Smooth process overall.

What bank is it??

Have you tried SCB?

I couldn’t recommend any other bank from my 26 years of banking here…

Thought I’d mention that the hoity toity bank staff have probably done a 3 hour PowerPoint course at an office migration office and this they’re qualified immigration officers now 🤣

I want to point out that this is a personal opinion from my experience just in case the trolls want to jump all in over my comment again 🙄

I opened bank account on a non IB BOI 3 month stamp first branch though said no before i could finish the sentence so f them and went to another branch that undwrstood very well what it was

Why don’t you just make a copy of your hardcopy of your visa?

And rightly so, it's an entry stamp, not a visa.

Show your PDF e-visa printout as well.

Print the e-Visa and try again.

He received a 90-days admitted stay permit stamp upon entry, based on a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa he got issued outside of Thailand.

This red stamp itself is not a visa. This stamp is a 90-days stay permit you get stamped when you enter Thailand on a 90-days Non-Imm-O visa.

The stamp just indicates the “admitted until” length of stay – here 90 days - based on entering on a single entry 90-days Non-Imm-O visa.

The visa itself, when he entered Thailand, has changed its status to USED and is not valid anymore.

The visa got issued in the shape of a .pdf document which got mailed to the applicant by the processing Thai embassy. You could print out the visa document and show it

The entry stamp just indicates the admitted length of stay (90 days) based on the single entry Non-Imm-O visa, but it clearly says on which visa-class you entered in the upper right corner

Some bank clerks just are too lazy or don’t have the slightest idea how to service foreigners who want to open a Thai bank account. They will often invent any rules or excuses in order to get rid of you.

Slip them 1000 Baht , problem solved.

Most aren’t opening accounts on the 90 day non O visa. Try Kasikorn or Khrunsri. Some people have had luck with them. Bangkok Bank is not opening any accounts on a 90 day visa. I’ve been suggesting to my friends that are moving to Thailand to get the OA visa in Los Angeles so they’re coming with a proper visa that the banks will accept. Then it’s easier to transfer the 800,000 baht. The one below is what the bank wants to see or the OA that you get in your own country. These are the new rules so bitching and complaining isn’t going to help you get a bank account. Pay an agent and then it’s easier.

It says on it o visa ?????

My bank needed a letter from immigration that stated that immigration agrees to open a bank account + a copy of my rented apartment agreement. So tomorrow take these with you +the printed PDF of the Evisa. and go again to the same bank with smile. ask again. if they say "no" go to another branch. smile. untill the bank clerks feels like they want to ...

Exactly the same am mine, and I opened a bank account today with the Kasikorn Bank, no problems.

It was in Kalasim.

Did you have your Certificate of residency from the immigration ?

This issue is raised by others before, most banks like to see longer than 3 months window to stay in Thailand in order to open that account for you. Even though, non-O can be extended another 12 months to give you total 15 months the initial entry stamp is only 90 days (3 months) which is not long enough for most banks to agree to open an account for you. So bank is not refusing that stamp as non-O, bank is just telling you to return back after extending it for 12 months. Some went to Kasikorn bank and opened without any issue, so I suggest you try a few Kasikorn branches.

Hahaha, aus Stempel hat die Übersetzung Briefmarke gemacht.

Aber im Ernst, das ist der normale Stempel (normal stamp).

Did you show them your visa send by email as well ?

My non o looks the same. Since then I extended. Nothing wrong with your stamp. Try another bank.

Ah, print print print. I print everything and "youngsters" may laugh but it's really the best way ( old school is never a bad idea ).

I misread the post

It's just an immigration stamp, it's not a visa. The visa you received in email, print it out and try again

Just take your actual visa into the bank. The passport is just a verification of entry on what basis. The bank will need your long term visa, passport and proof of residency.

No shortcuts I am afraid

Is it a renewal or you getting the retirement visa for the first time . If it is first time visa , then they give the visa for 3 months initially and after 3 months it will be extended to another 12 months . But you have to have maintained the 800 k from the date of this stamp until you get the extension .. but you are right . This does not look like a retirement visa stamp. Looks different

Show up at bank prepared with proper docs (copy of visa, passport bio and stamp page, Thai phone number in your name, residence certificate from immigration and a copy of a long term lease will help). Dress professionally and ask with humility. Professionalism (preparedness and presentation) go a long way in showing respect.

Because that's not a visa? And only a stamp. Your visa is pdf. And maybe they just don't want to open an account with 3month visa

The O looks different than the other characters?

Same happened to me, went to the next town same bank no problem.

Open bank account with 90 days visa is not easy, they always ask longstay visa nowadays

No idea why you’re having issues. It’s clearly a stamp you got on entry giving you 90 days entry based on having a Non O visa. It literally says that.

You’ll probably have to try other bank branches that know what they’re doing to open an account. There’s nothing stopping you other than the branch manager not knowing what they’re doing.
