Trying to open bank account at 5 different TRB branches, Here is their response

🔹True digital park

They can’t do it. But I was told to do follow up after 2 weeks as the policy has changed.

🔹Onut Bic C Extra

They asked me about my DTV category “when i said workcation , they said no” but it can be done for those under soft power category. You might need some documents from Muay Thai or Cooking school

🔹Siam Paragon

At first the female staff asked my Visa and Passports. After a few minutes, a man (seems to be higher position) asked my employment contract, i gave it to him then he asked me where do i live. When he knows that i live in the another district, he told me to open at the branch of where i live. So if you live in Pratunam , give it a try

🔹Bangkapi Mall

No , asked for work permit 😅

🔹Headoffice

No , asked for work permit 😅.

DTV and Work permit 😅

So for now i’m looking for an agent who can help me to open TTB / KT or SCB. Your recommendation is appreciated

Hello :) can you get with a DTV visa a Thai bank account? thank you in advance!

How do I get agent assistance for re-entry if I leave on my own and am staying in Laos for a week or two, before coming back? This would be my 2nd entry ever, after my first 60+30 exempt stamps. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Not read posts for a while, wondering if there is any change in the need for your physical presence for the 1st 90 day declaration, can you use an agent for it? Thnx

How do you open a Thai bank account to deposit the 800k before getting the visa? Or do you get the visa first then deposit the money, do I need an agent ?

Hi everyone,

I was just denied the DTV visa at Savannakhet because they wanted the original remote work letter from my company, and I only had a printout (and presumably they needed original bank statements also). They needed the documents to have signatures, although not sure if that means original signature with ink, or a copy of a signature. And from the previous posts here it seems to me that other people submit simple printouts and that gets accepted?

So my questions to who went through this already are:

- When you applied in-person, did you have to bring all originals with signatures/stamps, or just printouts?

- How would you possibly get an original bank statement if your bank is in Europe? You'd have to get it mailed to you?

And lastly

- Since they're moving to an online system next month, do I understand correctly that they won't be requiring originals anymore? Since a PDF file is not an "original" in a sense that it doesn't have a genuine signature, unless we're talking about digital cryptographic signatures (which is probably not what they're looking for).

Bank Account Update!

KrungThai Bank (tried many branches and emailed them)

- strongly disagree to open bank account when they see DTV

TTB (megabangna)

- said no

UOB ( emailed them, megabangna)

- no

SCB (emailed, many branches)

- no

Maybe not the correct group but im sure u guys will know the answer to it! I read many stories about getting help by thai girlfriend for opening a thai bank account (at the moment i stay like 6 months each year in thailand on tourist visa/exemption every time) getting a bank account makes many things much easier like paying for my appartment and all the bills. Is this possible with the help of my girlfriend?

Can I just ask a question that I'm still unclear on. If I retire to Thailand with a retirement visa through an agency, is that the end of the process. If not does it need to be renewed every 90 days or 180 days or every year. And if that is the case do I physically have to go to the immigration office in jomtiem to do so. If the latter is the case I will not even consider retiring to Thailand.

Can US Citizens open a bank account in Thailand without long term visa ? Non-resident. And which bank would you guys recommend if I can do so?
