Hi All, I am a UK resident wanting to retire to Thailand early next year, I want to apply for a marriage visa whilst in thailand, I have a Thai wife and a son from previous Thai marriage, I will have the 60 day visa exemption, where do I go from there, advice greatly appreciated.

Hi, has anyone succeeded to open a bank account in Bangkok with DTV visa?

Is it possible to open a bank account with a 1 year student visa

Bonjour ouvrir un compte en banque avec visa dtv

So today I contacted Bangkok Bank in regards to opening an account with a DTV visa, I was told that there are no set rules and it’s all dependant on the specific bank manager in the branch that you try.

She also mentioned that even if one branch refuses to try another as there are DTV holders with bank accounts.

Can we open a bank account in Thailand with DTV visa and if yes then which banks anyone opened the bank account in Thailand

I am attempting to open a bank account. I have a copy of my Lease, a document from Immigration acknowledging the lease and my Non-O Visa.

Do I need a document from Immigration to open a bank account (lady at Mall Immigration Office said I did)

Hello, I am still looking to find a branch location to open up a bank account on a DTV so far everywhere I’ve gone tells me it’s not possible unless I speak to an agent who wants so much money to do it. Has anybody had any success recently?

I’m hoping to retire to Thailand in April 2026 or January 2027, funds permitting. In December I will be traveling there for a holiday on a tourist visa.

My question is, while I’m there, will I be able to change my tourist visa to a 90 day visa to allow me to apply for a bank account, and start transferring my current savings in time for my retirement. We rent a house in Bangkok and are buying a house in Ubon, my name isn’t on either at the moment, but can be if required to support my application for a bank account.

I look forward to seeing any serious help and advice.

Thank you

Hello, everyone!

There are a lot of reports of people not being able to open a bank account now even on non-o marriage visas.

Anyone had experience opening bank account with non-o marriage visa recently?

I don't understand how we are supposed to do our 1-year extension if they refuse us to open a bank account.
