Hello i need an agent for open a Bank Account in pattaya many Tell me the rules changed i can Not do it because i am under 50 years does anybody can still help me

Advice needed please.

I am in Thailand on a Non-Res O visa 90 days & changing to a Non Res O retirement visa in November.

1. Plan on getting a bank account in Chiang Mai early next week.

2. Initially I will put in 65000 month until 15 days before expiry of current visa then top it up to 800000 baht.

Objective; Eventually I want to just do the monthly deposit & not leave 800000 in a low interest situation.

Question 1. if I make the bank balance up to 800000 baht before November AND continue paying 65000 month, am I able to draw out the full 800000 at some point to return it to home country?

Question 2. Can I use the money in this account to live on?

Thanks

Hello everyone, I have a thai bank account that I opened while staying with ED visa. I want to know if it'll be closed when I apply for DTV visa. Anyone Same Condition?

Thai dtv visa can't open an account in any bank in Thailand, I have gone to every bank to try

Hello, has anyone opened a bank account with DTV Visa in Bangkok.

How and where?

Thank you

Could someone please enlighten me regarding Prompt Pay?

My mobile banking app is broken for the next week. I needed to pay my rent. Bangkok bank seems to only allow transfer within their own bank when using iBanking. The only available option was Prompt Pay which I have never used before. The process on my end was very simple. All I had to do was to supply the receivers's phone number. I got an acknowledgement that it went through.

So my question is, how does the receiver get their money, given that I only entered a phone number? Is it somehow tied to a bank account?

Arriving in Thailand February/March of 2025. Once I get there I’ve decided to use an agent to get everything set up for retirement visa. I have a question about a bank account. Is it possible to set up two accounts under the same name at the same bank? I want to deposit the 800k baht in one account and then use a different account for day to day spending and deposits. I prefer not to have to worry about the 800k account falling below the required amount at any time. I know I can do this in the US, but not sure in Thailand as an expat. Thanks in advance!

Just heads up this may affect some people who dont have there phone numbers in there name has to match bank account.. It did me as wife had my account in her name to get the points. But changed over this evening.

No news when they will take action yet against accounts though. Usual Thai goverment lack of information.

Hi all

I have come back to the UK for a few months but still use my Thai bank account to pay bills.

I hear that there is a new check that your bank account and phone connected to the account matches to the same ID. Bank account in my name and passport but phone was originally set up by my GF ID and have never changed it.

Is there an impact on using the bank app with my phone in another’s name?

Can’t change it until I return

Hi everyone. Last October I opened a bank account with Bangkok bank.

Today I got this sms.

Transfer/payment from your account X0149 of Bt 750.00 via AUTO system

Before I try contacting the bank anyone know what this 750 baht charge is for?

Thanks
