Looking for opinions here. I have a kasikornbank account. I work online with DTV visa and the money gets paid into my Kasikorn account. I don't have a bank account in my own country because it was closed a few years ago due to inactivity...

So with all this stuff happening about bank accounts being closed if you don't have a long term visa, I'm a bit worried. But I've heard it's only for bank accounts opened since 2023. Is that true? Will they later look at older accounts too? I've had my Kasikorn account since around 2010, but can't remember what visa I had when I opened it. I think it might have been a tourist visa lol

So I'm wondering, should I just ditch the DTV visa, which I went through great lengths to obtain just two months ago, and get a long term visa before other banks (like Kasikorn) start implementing the same policies AND looking at older accounts?

I have a Thai son so I can get Non O visa, but it would mean another trip out of the country, putting 400k back in the bank etc. I'd rather not do that, but I don't wanna be un-banked...

Hi all. I am doing my homework on Retirement in Thailand from Australia.

This account let's you leave your money in your countries currency. Does anyone know if this account can be used as the 800k baht deposit. Would this meet immigration policy requirements? Thanks in advance for any direction.

Well just tried to open an account with Krungthai. Was originally told, by a higher up employee. Bring passport and thats it.

Show up. They now require a pink ID card and a yellow book that you are registered under. Haha what is happening with the banking system here. MIND YOU I already have a business account with them, that was opened in the same branch.

Bangkok Bank or others causing you issues? Many thousands affected. It is singling out foreigners without any evidence and it is maybe breaking the Thai consumer rights laws.

Make a formal complaint here...

Did anyone can open bank account with non-o spouse visa recently? (Married to a Thai )

On beginning of July i went to Bkk bank and Kasikorn bank branch in Phuket in order to open bank account for my husband. But the bank staff insisted they only accept non-o retirement visa or work permit. It’s really hassle now 😥

Thank you for every advice 🙏🏻

Quick question..I know once non O retirement has been granted next step is to open bank account in Thai Bank and deposit THB800k my question is do I have to remain in Thailand for 90 days before arranging a multi entry or can this be done within the 90 day period before extension is applied for? Thank you

Hey all

Couple of quick questions

1. I’m going to be applying for the workcation DTV, I have my own coaching company, so am I okay to show the 500k in my business bank account or does it have to be in my personal account?

2. Can I apply online and submit all documents whilst I’m in Thailand and then once it gets accepted fly to Hanoi to complete?

Thanks in advance

John

So I am curious how people think I should handle this situation. I leave for BKK dec 11. I am looking into the dtv and the thing that’s unclear to me is the format in which the 500k baht is in. I have multiple bank account and brokerages etc totaling well over 500k but obviously in different accounts that consistently have larger deposits and withdraws. If I send it all those statements do you think they will accept that?

I have a question if I’m added to my mothers bank account can I still qualify for DTV? Going to take cooking classes

I am trying to change my tourist visa to a non-o retirement visa.. I live in Nonthaburi but was going to try Bangkok, has anyone done this? I will be a walk-in appointment since there are no appointment’s available online.

How long was the wait to see immigration officer in Bangkok?
