Hi, I am in Thailand on a non O visa and have to open a bank account to make my 800 000 baht deposit - which requires having a six month lease for accommodation. I am finding it quite difficult to find something suitable in Udon Thani as most condos specify a one year lease. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

When the Canadian embassy provided proof of income, Thai immigration would not accept 40K monthly baht transferred into a Thai bank from Canada. Now that the embassy no longer provides this service, is Thai immigration now accepting Thai bank monthly transfers of 40k from Canada overseas as proof of income.

I have friends that are moving to Thailand and are wanting to get on the DTV Visa, most likely under the digital nomad category. Has anyone successfully opened a bank account? Is there an agency that is able to help them open an account? Husband and wife would both like bank accounts! Thanks for any help and sorry if this has been answered multiple times!

I went to multiple branches of Bangkok bank today, but they all refused to open a bank account with my DTV visa, does anyone know any branch where I can open an account?

Also on my entry stamp with  they put a date for six months only, I thought this visa was for five years. I got it directly from the consulate without using an agent so I’m completely unaware. How long can I stay in the country and I how often do I have to leave the country and is it mandatory to purchase health insurance? I’m sorry it’s a lot of questions, but any assistant will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I have been planning to visit Bangkok next month, around the end of April. The intention was to enter on a non O visa, and request a year extension. This appears now to be scuppered due to the reports of foreigners not being allowed to open new bank accounts.

Should i delay this, or will it be possible to open an account myself, has anyone been able to recently ? I do have the £18k etc to deposit into the account for the year extension. From the UK.

Thanks!

If the husband is an American citizen and we are registered as married in Thailand, he wish to change from a tourist visa to a Non-O (Marriage) visa. If he wants to change it in Thailand, he needs to have 400,000 baht in his bank account in Thailand. However, foreigners who enter on a tourist visa cannot open a bank account. How can he prove his financial situation? I'm looking for information from people who have gone through this process."
