Can i still open a bank account under the 1-year ED visa Or the bank will consider it a “tourist visa”?

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!

I have DTV Visa here in Bangkok, please is there any one or agents that can help with Bank account opening? This is really needed here

All I've been thinking about the last couple of days is how "money talks" in Thailand. I got dressed in my Sunday best today, waltzed into a UOB and said I was moving to Bangkok, needed an account b/c I was transferring approximately 10M TBH into the country. He never flinched. Asked if I had a work permit. I said "no" - never asked for my passport. Said to try Bangkok Bank and to have a nice day.

What a waste.

Hi, I was told today that they are not opening Bank accounts at the moment. Need for my retirement visa. How long do we think this will last? I am currently in Pattaya.

Hi, has there been any updates on opening a bank account on the DTV ?
