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?

Bangkok bank would give me a bank account on a dtv

If i took out There insurance product minimum term 3 years

About 57000 baht a year with majority returned after 3 years

Not really interested as i can use my wife's account for free and my wise account

For those wondering why it's difficult to open a bank account, this could give you some information. Take it as you will..

Hello. I am interested in the Thailand retirement visa, I know the details, it just seems a bit complicated and now it is also getting quite difficult to open bank accounts. I am considering getting a Cambodia retirement visa for a year, and after I open it, I can get a bank account quite easily. I may do this and then try to get the Thailand retirement visa when things get a bit easier. I am wondering if I might have difficulty getting a Thai retirement visa if I also have a similar one in my passport from Cambodia. Might this raise eyebrows from Thai immigration staff? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Earlier in the year foreign clients of Kasikorn Bank received communication about Commonn Reporting Standard (CRS) and FATCA (for US citizens). There was a need to complete and submit forms.

Now Bangkok Bank has started the communication and it is predicted all foreign account holders of accounts in all banks will have to complete the forms.

The main question for DTV holders on the form is "Country of Residence" and "TIN" or if no TIN specific reason. This is for Tax Reporting to country of residence which Thailand signed up to.

Please do not shoot the messenger :-) :-)

I need an advice on how to obtain DTV visa from USA. I'm retired, 70 yo with money in Bangkok Bank.
