For your reference - I was able to open account at ttb Bank.

Following documents were requested:

- Passport

- Thai Driving License

- E-Visa

- Translated Working Contract from Homecountry

- Lease Agreement

- Certificate of Residence

- Tabien Baan Copy with signature from my landlord

I think these are the general requirements of the bank, which should apply to any branch. So you can just walk in any branch, in case they haven’t heard about DTV just tell them to call their headquarter for more information.

Does the 15000 USD need to be in my primary bank account? I have a HYSA that has always met that standard, it’s where I keep most of my hard cash.

I don’t think it should make a difference but want to get clarification.

I am an American in Bangkok with a non O visa and need to open a bank account. Any recommendations on which bank or branch I should try first? Thanks

So as of February its basically impossible to get a bank account on DTV? I've spoken to a few agents now.

Is it worth going to Patteya for Retirement Visa?

This might effect some DTV holders. Basically your ID and Sim must align with your Bank Account.

Got the non immigrant o retirement visa from Thai Embassy London. Uk passport. Arrive Pattaya May 14th to retire in Thailand.

Will stay at same hotel for first 3 months I recently spent 2 months there.

Will need to open a bank account. Advice please on what documents i need and recommendations of which banks may be best to go to. Thanks

Good evening everyone I was born in Italy but I have been living in London for 26 years. I am 59 years old and would really like to retire in Thailand where I have already traveled several times and where I met a lady and would like to get married. Question: what do I need from A to Z to do this? bank account, visas, if I need to have a house with her etc.. Thank you all so much

Hi members

Regarding the bank details

The 800000bht or 400000bht

Which ever you choose.

Does that have to be in a Thai Bank or can you show proof and details of accounts holding in your country 🤔

Update 09/04/2025 Bank Account opening

Went to Bangkok Bank in Nong Bua Lamphu.

Waited patiently in line for an hour with my Thai wife

Presented my Passport, English Driving Licence, Non O 90 day retirement visa, signed letter to Bank of Bangkok, from Nong Bua Lamphu Immigration and stamped TM30 and was told that this was not enough. Now being told I need a Yellow Book. Totally frustrating and at a loss what to do. PS. Please do not tell me to use an agent, my background is finance and cannot jeopardise my position by using agents.
