Hi all, I'm currently in Bangkok on my first week on a Non O Visa from the UK. I need to transfer the 800,000 Baht, so that I can apply for the 1 year extension. I have setup a bank account at Krungsri Bank in Bangkok Phrom Phong. Can I send the 800K Baht using Wise ? I know that maximum that can be transferred is 500K each time, so I would need to do 2 x transfers.

Will the Immigration office be ok with a transfer from Wise for the 1 year extension ? I could use Barclays Swift payment, but would be much more expensive.

thanks!

Hey all. So I've just got my 2nd non-o extension and want to start the 65k deposit a month process instead of the 800k.

I spoke to an agent who said I need to get a credit advice from my bank to state the transfers every month are from outside Thailand.

I transfer with wise and she couldn't advise if that's ok or not so just wanted to check if anyone has or is currently doing this through wise and not had a issue with this process and if so. How do you go about resolving it.

Cheers

Does anyone know of a bank in Thailand that has a savings account that has a percentage interest rate similar to a CD in an American Bank to allow the money to grow? 3.50-4.50%. This would be for the marriage requirements to have the $400,000 baht in an account. Is it possible to open an account and just leave it and let it grow?

Where can I open a bank account with a DTV visa in Thailand now?

From another group but useful if thinking of opening a bank account and use wise

Has anyone used an agent to open a bank account or has anybody been successful in obtaining a bank account? Having a Thai bank account would make life so much easier 😭

Hey …. So since this bank has a location in Los Angeles… I should just open an account while here and then move to Thailand since the main branches are out there. I can imagine this would be the easiest way to get a Thai account..? Anyone try this before ?

Goal: Is to open a Thai Bank account so I can slowly build up the 800,000 baht over the next two years.

Plan: I will be taking my normal 2 week holiday in Thailand, I will be in and out. But this time , I plan on entering on a Non Immigrant O Retirement visa from my home country.

I want to do what is necessary to open a Thai Bank Account, as if I were going to apply for the Non Immigrant O extension.

If I can secure the Bank Account,. mission successful, and I would exit I hope on the Non O visa after 2 weeks.

I would then apply again for Non O in 2027, When I actually plan on living in Thailand for long term. Again my main purpose on this trip is simply to begin the funding process early and establish the Thai Bank Account, so I can move money a bit at a time.

Will there be any problems on my exit, if I exit after 2 weeks on the Visa. I hope it is my prerogative how long I stay less than the 90 days.

Can anyone help me open a Thai bank account? I'm a DTV holder.

I've been to a few banks and also asked a few agents, no success yet, well one agents said they would do it for 35k baht 😂
