Hello, everyone!

There are a lot of reports of people not being able to open a bank account now even on non-o marriage visas.

Anyone had experience opening bank account with non-o marriage visa recently?

I don't understand how we are supposed to do our 1-year extension if they refuse us to open a bank account.

I have a Bangkok bank account, today I wanted to try opening a Kasikorn bank account with my LTR-WP visa in Nonthaburi. Omg 😱😱 What an incompetent branch or person. She called their headquarters, she had no idea about LTR, she spoke simultaneously with two individuals on two phones in both hands. She passed the phone to me at times so I could answer their questions, well finally no account with LTR after wasting about 40 min ! They asked work permit or country ID .. US has no country ID, we have passport and driver's licence. I run to the next door which is SCB bank. This time she was much faster to let me know their bank don't open a bank account for LTR visa holders. I said LTR visa holders were selected through a stringent process and it is given to top earners, why would SCB refuse to do business with us. She run inside, then came out with a better idea, she copied all my docs and told me that they will notify me in 1 week about their decision. Really pissed I barged into next door which was Kurungsri Bank. They also called their headquarters then copied my docs and told me to wait a week to hear their response. All in all, today I failed opening a bank account three times with my LTR-WP visa. Thai banks are going through a huge confusion, trying to implement new rules but doing it in a total chaos.

I’m second guessing my plan and could use some advice from the hive mind here. I arrived last week on a non-o retirement visa. I got a phone number and opened a bank account at Kasikorn on Friday. My original plan was to get this much done, then use a reputable agent for the rest of the process. However, it seems like immigration is cracking down all over, and I don’t want to jeopardize getting an extension by not actually having 800k in the bank for the proper seasoning period. How risky is it to use an agent right now? I was planning to go with the 65k/month method for the following year, and will start those monthly deposits as soon as I figure out how to use Wise!

Hello! Does anyone know of a bank that my husband and I could get a joint account with that would allow us BOTH to use their banking application (using two phone numbers and our own separate phones) and allow us both to have our own QR code without having to get our own separate accounts? We’ve never had separate accounts, so this has been weird to finagle and would like to find a bank that would meet our needs. Thanks so much!

If you have non-o visa, can you open a bank account at any banks in Thailand, including a local branch of international bank? Is there a local branch of international bank such as Citi bank or chase bank in Pattaya? Is local international bank same as Thai bank when you apply retirement visa?

Two questions. Does any of the Thai banks offer high yield savings accounts? If they do, can I use one of those accounts for my retirement visa?

Has anyone experienced issues transfering funds from Wise to any Thai bank account recently? I’ve done many transfers before but all of a sudden it was returned and unable to proceed with the transfer.

Thai Mortgage While Abroad?

My partner and I live in Australia and are thinking of buying property in Thailand in the near future. Loan of ~1.5 million baht over 15 years.

She’s a Thai national… can standard Thai banks offer her a mortgage based on her Australian income, or is it a more complex process with extra steps or broker involved?

Any experiences?
