Re non O retirement visa: with the new tax laws coming into effect what options do I have to get around this in transferring money from the UK to a Thai bank account? Ta

Any agents to open Thai bank account? Pattaya or Bangkok (Bangkok preferred). Also what would the fee be?

For those in Phuket with a DTV looking to open a bank account, I successfully opened one at TTB, Robinson Lifestyle Thalang in just two days.

Documents I provided:

1. Passport

2. DTV

3. Driving license (from my home country) with the exact same name as in my passport

4. Cover letter from my Muay Thai gym (the same one used for my DTV application)

5. Lease agreement for my accommodation (signed by both my landlord and me)

6. A signed copy of my landlord’s ID

7. Certificate of residence from the immigration office (I got mine from Blue Tree)

Be prepared for them to keep some or all original copies of the documents. I specifically requested my original Certificate of Residence back since it may be needed for other purposes.

The process took two days. The bank wasn’t busy, but the account opening counter was slow. Their system didn’t allow DTV holders to open an account, so they had to send my application to the Bangkok main office for approval. The next morning, I got a call from the bank, went back to sign a few more forms, and walked out with my passbook, debit card, and mobile banking set up—now I can use PromptPay.

P.S. I visited every bank in Central, and all of them said no.

Hi! I would like to ask which Bank accepts DTV Visa? I want to self-process, thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Hello!

Anyone can help me to open a bank account in Bangkok with the DTV?

Any agent who can help me to make a bank account in Phuket on a DTV?

Hi all, so I was planning to get my Non O visa in the UK and fly out next month to Bangkok, the intention was to get the 1 year extension visa on this trip.... given all these issues getting a bank account, is it now going to be impossible ? I didn't intend on using an agent and I was going to try and sort it myself in one of the bank branches...I would be grateful for any advise, as I'm currently stuck in limbo..

thanks.

If you put 800K baht in a savings account in Thailand for a retirement visa, will it pay any interest? If so, about how much recently?

Question: When opening a bank account in Thailand, what is easiest method to deposit funds initially....Is it a US bank to Thai bank transfer ? or bring cash ? or... ..? What is the simplest and fastest method that people have used ? Thanks !

I am looking for some information please. I will have around 200,000GBP when I move to Thailand. Can anyone give me an idea of the best rate of interest I can get from a bank. TIA.
