A couple of updates. Tried opening a bank account at Bangkok Bank in Tha Muang on METV yesterday and clerk got a white binder of rules out and denied me. She was polite and just told me what kind of visa’s would be accepted. Swapped my USA sim card with my Thai sim card in phone and was able to do two factor authentication and transferred $Baht to friends account using wise. Limit of 49999 baht on transfer in wise.

Can someone give me some constructive advice and direction on what to do please. I understand to obtain a marriage visa, you need to have a Thai bank account of 400,000 baht. But the bank does not allow opening of bank account with a tourist visa. So how then can I go about this? Thank you in advance for the right direction. 🙏

Hello Guys,

Does anyone know if it's possible to open a bank account in Thailand with TR Visa ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
