Is it possible to open a bank account with just a Non-B visa? I’ve recently accepted a teaching job, and while I already have my Non-B visa, I’m still waiting for my work permit to be issued
Ok so need a bit of advice from those in the know. I arrived in Thailand on a Non O visa on the 18/06 went to the local immigration office yesterday to get proof of where I am living ( to open bank account ) To get all things sorted for retirement extension. Hit a bit of a wall when the immigration officer said you can not ask for the retirement extension because in thai in the remarks line they had written business. The application was submitted via the London Embassy. Has anyone a) been in this situation, and what solutions did you find. The Officer said you need new Non O go to Laos and apply there.
My possible solution and happy to be shot down if this is a stupid thought is go to Laos return on a visa exempt stamp and convert that in country to a Non O and then take the retirement extension.
In a perfect world trying to get the authorities to reissue a copy of the original visa with that word removed.
Hi everyone, would you please be able to provide recommendations for a reputable and licensed visa agent in Bangkok who can assist with a Non O retirement visa and opening of a bank account. Thanks!
I will be travelling to Thailand on the 6 July this year and I’m looking at applying for an retirement visa, how long does it take and if it is not processed by then, can I still go on a holiday visa?
I am here on a DTV visa and will shortly invest into a business here in Thailand (and yes, I’m well aware of my rights, obligations, Thai partners etc).
However I need to open a bank account to do so.
I am looking to deposit 1 million baht initially.
Does anyone know a bank that would allow me to open the account?
I’m of Scandinavian nationality and have all my finances in order, can also provide a Thai guarantor.
Hi… I’m writing on behalf of a friend who’s interested to retire in Thailand. She holds a Singapore passport so able to enter Thailand with exempt visa. She wants to apply for a non O retirement visa… with the current situation with opening account with banks… how is she going to transfer the 800,000 baht if she’s not allowed to open a bank account ? Appreciate it very much to hear your advice. Thank you
Can anyone recommend a bank or an agent for a bank account opening around Pattaya for a DTV holder? I am currently with Bangkok Bank but who knows how long still:-( Thanks a lot in advance!
