Went to k bank this month and they gave me this info,said a non o will be fine

Hi guys, I have been seeing many posts about the bank accounts of DTV holders getting closed. And I am wondering if anyone with a bank account that was opened on the non immigrant B visa.

Background:

I have been in BKK for about 2 months on DTV. And I have a bank account I made in early 2023 when I was on a Non-immigrant B visa. I was hired by a company in my home country and entered BKK on that visa if I understand it right. I was hired in my home country so I was already an employee and was basically an expat worker entering Thailand.

I opened an account with help of the company right away, then later in a month or so, I got a work permit. So in my case it was not an ED visa or DTV when I opened my account.

Update info: My bank is KrungSri bank.

If you have any information, I'd appreciate it!

Currently i have Non B visa which will finish soon , if i change to DTV visa will by thai bank account remains active?

Ok. I got it. My non o. Will be in bangkok on the 18th. Not worried about tm30 . Looking for sum advice on a good bank to park my baht in and how I should go about doing it. From US and use BOA. Looking to land smooth.

I bought a condo in Thailand but I don’t have a bank account to pay utility bills or receive rental income. Is there any way to handle these issues?

Thanks

My defector spouse of 25 years and myself are looking to retire to Thailand early next year, we have a joint bank account and house , car everything is in both names , my question is , do we need separate Thai bank accounts or can we get a joint account

Cheers for the advice

Hi everyone

I would like to answer to my on question that I posted yesterday asking how long does it take to open a bank account in Thailand having all the proper paperwork on a

Non- immigrant O visa.

The answer is 1hour as so many of you posted yesterday

The thing with these bank accounts is to open the door of the correct bank and finding employers who are willing to help you. It doesn’t matter if you are in a rural town or in a tourist town where there are lots of foreigners. My experience was going on for 8 days with the employers in KRUNGSRI saying to me we will call you.

So today I went next door to KRUNGTHAI and left in an hour with my account passbook in my hands.

Again thank you all for yesterday’s replies

Hi guys. My Kasikorn App has become disabled. I cannot get thru to a human being despite 8 calls from UK today. I can't find the Kbank Internet website to do Internet banking. Any help would be great. Thank you

I was in Thailand the month of April on a 90-day non-o, opened a bank account and returned to the U.S. House closed quicker than I expected and now I will return Thursday the 26th of June. The 90-day non-o still is not expired date wise, but once I left it was invalidated at that point, correct? Best just to come back on 60-day visa exempt and get my money seasoned and go straight into the 12-month extension?

I have lived in Thailand for 8 years with a work permit and non-b. My bank accounts are all Thai, my drivers license, residency, utility bills, income... everything is all Thai. Will that be a problem as I switch to the DTV? Should I include my non-b and WP in my paperwork?
