Planning on entering from the US with a non OA visa. Will be staying with my son (US citizen teaching english) in Petchabun for approximately 3 to 6 months while determining where I want to live. How will this affect my TM30 and opening a bank account if I can’t show a lease agreement? Thanks in advance

Got my DTV two weeks ago.

Tried my luck opening a bank account with a few banks. No success. Can I apply for a student guardian visa at this stage, get it for three months (will not plan to renew it), just for the sake of opening a bank account? Will let that guardian visa expire and remain with my 5 year DTV?

Hi everyone,

A very Happy New Year to you and your Family.

I’ve been on a DTV visa for two months, and I’ve visited almost all the banks in Bangkok, including Kasikorn Bank, Bangkok Bank, and several others. I’ve even tried different branches in less touristy areas, but no one is willing to open a bank account for me.

This makes it very difficult to pay rent and utility bills every month. I would greatly appreciate any advice or leads that could help.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the add.

I’m marrying my Thai fiancé in 6 weeks then will move to Thailand in April.

I’m trying to get ready so wish to open a Thai bank account when I’m over for my wedding. Can I do this with my passport showing the 60 day tourist visa? We have been told by our agent that I need to get a different visa from the Thai embassy in London before traveling but I think this was when the tourist visas were only for 30 days. As they are now 60 days, can I open a bank account ? It will make life easier for me knowing I don’t have to apply now for a different visa as I’m leaving it late ! Thanks
