My husband went to three banks today in Chiang Mai trying to open a bank account with his DTV. All saying they couldn’t do it. Anyone have success opening a bank account recently?

So as a thought seeing the bank account problems. Would opening an account with a Thai bank in my own country with the 800,000 baht equivalent be accepted by immigration. Second thought if now would it make it easier to get an account in Thailand by transferring said account to a branch in Thailand?

Hello all. Does anyone know which bank I can go to in Chiangmai to open a bank account with DTV?

Has anyone created a USD account (with Bangkok bank or any Thai bank) in addition to your main baht account so that you can receive and withdeaw USD without having to exchange to baht? Would you recommend doing that and any caveat?

I have the 800k but I don't think i want to tie it up in a Thai bank account. Is it worth getting an agent to sort things out?

Can you open Bank Account with DTV?

What documents do we need?

Thanks.

Good morning everyone.This is a follow up question to some of my previous correspondence.

I am travelling to Thailand at the end of April on a 60 day e-visa which I plan to extend by 30 days. In the mean time I will apply for a Non O visa based on marriage.

I understand that I will need to open a Thai Bank account in my name only and deposit 400,000 Thai Baht.

I've been reading advice on how to go about opening a new bank account in Thailand.

I note that it is suggested that I provide a letter from my bank in my home country requesting that the Bangkok Bank open a bank account for me.

However when I contacted my bank and requested that they provide me with a letter of request they informed me that they do not provide this service.

My question is such is :

In order to open a new bank account with the Bangkok Bank quickly and easily what should I do?

Thanks in advance.🙏

When putting 800000 bht into bank for retirement visa can anyone put it in from back home or does it have to come from your own bank account.

Is it really still no coins deposit machines in Thailand !! not even at banks!

How do you transfer the large amount of money for your retirement visa
