My SCB account was opened 8 years ago as salary account on my Non-B visa. I always maintained several million THB paid to me through legitimate, Thai taxed salary/benefits, which I am still maintaining after quitting my job. I also religiously filed Thai Income tax returns each year.
Recently my WP and Non-B visa has been cancelled after my resignation. I am considering switching to DTV. So, as reported by several members here on DTV, is my bank account at risk now or anytime in near future? TIA 🙏
Someone just mentioned to open a Thai bank account without a long-term visa I need a certified copy of my US passport from the United States Embassy, Has anyone heard of this before?
This did not come from a bank employee.
Also, I am trying to open this bank account so I can convert my tourist visa (60 day) into retirement visa .. i need a bank account ..
I thought we had all the ducks in a row, I have got a Thai marriage certificate stamped and certified, yellow book, Thai ID card and trying to work towards a marriage visa. Now I need to open a Thai bank account to season funds however after having been to several banks that refuse to open an account without a visa, my wife is now taking me to a Chinese bank, I’m having serious reservations about this.
Ok. I can get my OA visa here in the US. Going to Bangkok mid October staying in Hotel for a couple weeks. MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION. Am I going to encounter any issues banking the 800,000 baht into a Thai bank so I can get my 1st year extension??
I can’t believe I’m still confused after so much reading and inquiring. I’m in the USA and planning to apply online for a 90-day non O “retirement” visa.
I thought there were no “bank account” requirements to accomplish this first step. I understand the 800,000 baht seasoned for two months in a Thai account for LATER but if proof of funds IS required just to get the non O visa can somebody please clarify that for me? Yes, I can research elsewhere but I prefer hearing the details from people who really know the facts. Thanks.
I already have the DTV but I want to take Thai language courses and get a bank account.
Will I need the the actual ED visa for a bank account, and if so, would i need to cancel my existing DTV? Or can I get the bank account through the language school without the ED visa?
