Hi all! It appears if Kasikorn Bank is now requiring annual 100,000 baht life insurance in order to open a bank account. I would appreciate any info you have on this. I was hoping to open my account in Udon Thani today.

Is there any bank that allows farongs to open an account over the internet or phone that allows international transfers? Or will i need to wait until I visit?

-THAI BANK ACCOUNT-

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 🙏

I’ll be coming to Thailand in the 90 day visa with plans to then apply for the non-o retirement visa.

I’ll need to open a bank account and deposit the 800,000 Baht.

How do I open a bank account without a permanent Thailand address?

What visas do you need now in order to open a Thai bank account. I heard DTV Visa can’t open it?

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'm on a DTV visa, I have a KTB bank account and yesterday I got this message from the bank. ANYONE ELSE?

This might be good news and stop the worry.

How do you open a Thai bank account to deposit the 800k before getting the visa? Or do you get the visa first then deposit the money, do I need an agent ?

Pattaya agents got harder to open a bank account. They say rules got stricter recently. Anybody can reccomend an visa agent in Pattaya to open a bank account?
