The main reason why it has become more difficult to open a new bank account.

[members only]/?

I have just visited SCB bank and I am in the process of opening a bank account. They have sent my paperwork to head office and I will have my bank account next week. Long holiday now until Wednesday. Copy of certificate of residency , copy of my E-visa , passport non o stamp and passport details , copy of blue book and they wanted to see the blue book and copy of ownership of my house .In addition they took my Thai phone number and wanted the registration receipt from AIS , 50 baht. For me personally it was a pretty good experience with them.

⚠️ Bank Account Opening Misinformation ⚠️**

There has been a lot of confusion in this group, with some people claiming our agency cannot help retirees on a Tourist Visa or Exempt Entry open a bank account.

This is NOT correct. We regularly assist retirees with bank account openings in Thailand, provided they intend to apply for a Non-O visa. Also there is no need to leave the country for this process.

While some agencies may not offer this service, we do.

Currently, we offer this service only in Bangkok, and the process typically takes just 1–2 days.

If you are outside of Bangkok, you can make a short trip to the city to complete the process.

One Step Closer To Our Thai Dream. Non O Visa has been accepted..Time for the next step!!!! Bank account and sim to our name. Suggestions?

K bank account opening question. I’m visiting Pattaya to visit friends today, travelling from Phetchabun. Has anyone opened an account in Pattaya on a non O retirement visa with Kbank recently? If so which branch was it? My local branches refused me due to their particular rules.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone!

My dad, after hiring an agent, he has just returned to Thailand from Vietnam and was stamped with a non-o visa. His plan is to do the retirement extensions every year.

I'd love to hear about other's experiences with getting the residence certificate to sign up for a thai bank account and the process of applying for the retirement extension. Was the process easy? I'm looking for advice from people that didn't use an agent.

I applied for my Non-Immigrant O [90-day] visa in Belgium 10 days ago. I received my approval by email today. I have a few questions, and I hope someone can help me. Do I need to book a return ticket, or can I use a one-way ticket to Thailand, since I'll be applying for a one-year extension there? Is it still possible to open a bank account with this 90-day visa and a TM30 without going through a visa office? Thanks in advance for your help.

Non O vis 90 days (retirement). I'll apply Thai Embassy in UK. Is it straightforward to open a bank ac account with this visa?

Surprised today going to Bangkok Bank asking to open a bank account based on a 90 day O visa and holding the document provided from the immigration office.

There answer was that they don’t open anymore account to foreigners even though I explained that I am not on a tourist visa but a O non immigrant one .

My second attempt was going to Krungsri and all looks well. They copied all my documents and they will call me in two days.

What is the possible bank where I can open an account as a 1-year ED visa holder?
