I’ve been reading numerous posts about how you need a Thai Bank Account for the Retirement Visa. I see that Citibank has offices and branches in Thailand. If I have a Citibank account, would that be acceptable? TIA!

Going to stay at same hotel in Pattaya I stayed for over 3 months left March .I
kept receipts.
Will pay for one month and will be staying there first 3 months.
I will get copy of TM 30.
Will this be enough to get me a residence permit from the immigration office in Jomtien ?
I have been there before to get a 30 day extension.
Do I just join the queue to try to get residence permit or is there a separate section at the immigration centre who deal with this matter? Any advice appreciated.
Hi, we (wife and I) are considering applying for a Retirement visa but we are not planning on moving to Thailand for another year (when I finish working).
I am wondering if we can apply for the visa now (and basically just hold it until the time comes for us to move there), or do we have to wait until we arrive in Thailand (or apply from where I am, immediately before going there) on some other type of visa and then apply for the Retirement visa?
Also, and related to above, is there a minimum days-per-year that we have to live in Thailand when we have a Retirement visa?
Hello, after researching and visiting 2 different bank's, I'm confused. I want to apply for a non O retirement visa but need a bank account to put my 800k into. However, bank won't let me open one without a non o visa with at least 60 days valid. What am I missing, please?🙏
I am not understanding the dilemma with Thai bank accounts. It appears that you need a Visa before you can get a bank account and you need a bank account before you can get a Visa??
And that the only way to solve this is through a Visa agent??
I am aware that I am a guest in this country and they make the rules but I can’t understand why a bank would not take your money. Is there some history of fraud that made them wary of foreigners opening bank accounts?
Hi folks, since I cannot seem to get a Thai bank account with my DTV, I would like to register for a TrueMoney account, so at least I can have the convenience of paying for stuff with QR codes, even if I do have the faff of topping up the account using cash at Seven Eleven. Can anyone confirm that they have been able to open a TrueMoney account being on a DTV and using only your passport as ID. And can the registration all be done with the app, or will I need to actually go to a Seven Eleven when I arrive in Thailand next week? Thanks!
