Open Thai Bank account

Back in the good old pre-digital everything days I've had bank accounts with Thai Farmer and Bangkok bank, both not a bother. Ì returned couple times last year after 6 years absence due to covid and subsequent price increases, met a sweetheart in March last year and we rented an apartment and spent 5 months together in total, returned Feb this year, got married in March, now I'm busted flat back in Blighty but no wukas I got some bikes to sell but it may be quite a while before I have the dinero to get back but never mind.

What I want to determine is when I come on the 90 Non 'O' and go to open a bank account which as yet ì haven't decided which one but Bangkok's out because they screwed me before, but what's all this shit about showing a Brit driver's license? I didn't renew back in February because of failing eyesight so don't ride/drive anymore, in Thailand I ride pillion on back of the Missus and fight a losing battle trying to educate her how to ride to live lol 😆

I do still keep my expired license just for ID but no way will be applying for a Thai one. Appreciate any info 👍

Hello, I’ll be applying for my first extension at Phuket immigration and their full requirements are here: [[members only]/)

Before I apply, I’ll go and check latest requirements but wondering about this one as I’d guess plenty of people wouldn’t have either of these....

"*Rental contract or proof of ownership if applicant owns their residence*.”

I stay at my partners family home (they own it). Would I need anything instead, like a letter from the owner?

Thanks.

I have a trip coming up and we're renting a car. I realised just now my license expired on my birthday a few days ago. I understand I need a certificate of residence, does anyone know how long it takes to get one? Someone told me a week, another told me a day. My office is Samut Prakan.

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the Certificate of Residence. Is it possible to obtain a Certificate of Residence while my visa/status is still under consideration (I have an “under consideration” stamp)?

I’m planning to buy a car, so I need to know if this will be an issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, in relation to opening a bank account with a Non O visa, is a TM30 sufficient or do you actually require a certificate of residence from immigration for the bank?

Does anyone know of any banks in Bangkok that doesn’t require certificate of residence ? I’m here on a Non-immig -O 90 day visa. I know Chiang Mai doesn’t require it. Thanks!

Visited immigration today in Bangkok to pay the fine for missing my 90 day reporting. That went perfect thanks to this lovely lady at the front desk. Then I had to go for

Round 2 to get letter of residence. I need 3 as I’m selling two motorcycles and buying one new one. I guess they have a limit of 2 and said I must come back. I also asked about expedite option and was told to come back in a week to pick the second up and then I can ask for 1 more. 😊

Is this the current way or was I just unlucky.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa and buy a motorcycle in Thailand.

Does anyone here have experience registering a motorbike under their name while on a DTV visa? Were there any issues at the Land Transport Office?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience — especially regarding the documents required and whether you needed a residence certificate.

Thanks in advance 🙏
