Just been to Bangkok Bank in Udon Thani and asked for a simple bank account. I had my passport and 90 day retirement visa and driving licence. I’m 56 and retired and in a relationship. My girlfriend rents a home nearby. I was told that I also need a TM30 stamped at immigration office and long term rental agreement. She also tried to sell me Insurance for 50k baht for 12 months, as she said it would help my application. This is just a post for information purposes but feel free to add comments that may help!

Hello. May I know if I can request E Visa page for already issued DTV Visa? Because I got mine before they change to E-Visa system. So I only have Visa Stamp in my passport.

What happened is the bank asked me to provide E-Visa page to open bank account (ttb).

Although I had explained why I don’t have E Visa they keep asking for it. The Visa stamp in my passport is not enough for them.

Is it a mistake to use my Thai bank account to show proof of funds, instead of one from my home country? I’m aware it could highlight that I’ve essentially been living in Thailand for the past six months (on visa exemptions), and that I’ve had a Thai account for four years now (I’ve been on various visas). My passport stamps tell the same story, however.

I was able to open a savings account using DTV at SCB Bank at CentralWorld.

I just opened a bank account with kasikorn bank.

It's easy to deposit money from my wise account or cash..

ABER

Es ist sehr trickreich und/oder teuer, das Geld wieder aus Thailand herauszubekommen... 🤔🤔🤔

I may have a mental block???

Can someone help me ????

Ich habe gerade ein Bankkonto bei der Kasikorn Bank eröffnet.

Es ist einfach, Geld von meinem Wise-Konto oder Bargeld einzuzahlen...

Dear All,

We bought a condo in January, travelling with normal 30/60 visa end of April from Germany and need a bank account to get payments for condo issues done.

What do we need? Special visa? Documents?

Thanks for your support!

Just wanted voice my appreciation for this group and how helpful it is. Managed to open a bank account with my Non-O Visa. All the info on here has been invaluable, only got one knock back for a ridiculous reason, ie middle initial on my driver license wasn’t acceptable. Next bank, no problem. Shout out to Brandon Thurkettle for answering mine and a lot of newbie questions. For anyone in BKK in the same situation. Go to main Bangkok Bank at Emporium on Sukhumvit. Not sure if it will help, but I went on Sunday at 1pm, and I was the only customer. Best of luck to y’all

Is it possible to get a straight answer to this question

I eventually want to get a retirement visa

I know I need 90 days non o visa

Where do I start and what do I need to do

My head is spinning with all the different posts on here and conflicting answers

Help

Thanks in advance

I have a DTV visa and a valid work permit from my previous visa, but banks at Central Festival Chiang Mai say it's not possible to open an account with a DTV visa. Who can help with this in Chiang Mai, even for a fee?

Does anyone know any bank in Phuket that allows to open bank account with DTV?
