Good evening all, Im going to Thailand for 90 days next year. I've been on the website to extend the 60 days to 90 but having real issues! My question is this, what is the process to get the extension once there, where do you go, what do I need to take and what is the cost. Thanks in anticipation, staying in Jomtiem.

Chicken or egg

It reads to get a bank account you need a retirement visa, but to get a visa, you need a bank account.

What do you apply for first.

And if you’re out of the country for more than 90 days, is your visa revoked as you can’t check in with immigration?

With my stay extension coming due 2/1/'26 I have remembered my passport expires 9/'26. Does that mean I need to renew my passport prior to extension to get the full year '2026 ?

Got my account locked by Bangkok bs kin Roi-et , Staff seem clueless. Any other bank which is easier to get account ( have 15 months left on non immigrant visa , letter from immigration , two Thai driving licences ( bike and car ). They say they not take a TM 30. Must have a yellow book !

Any ideas please ?

Hi all,

Bangkok Bank has closed my account.

I came to Thailand this year with a DTV visa and tried to open a bank account at several banks, but none accepted the DTV visa. Later, I bought a condo, and since the process required a bank account, I opened one at the seller’s bank, Bangkok Bank.

A couple of days ago, Bangkok Bank blocked my account. When I visited the branch, they gave me two options:

1. Convert my visa to a Non-Immigrant Visa to keep the account open, or

2. Close the account.

Since the Non-Immigrant Visa doesn’t offer the same advantages as the DTV, my account was closed. Now, I own a condo in Thailand but don’t know how to pay the electricity bill, and neither do they.

I am travelling to Thailand with a Non-iimigrant Type O visa from the UK, via Munich on Lufthansa Airlines. The visa is valid for 90 days as I will be staying in Thailand permanently then extending for 12 months based on marriage. Therefore I have booked a one way ticket. Will Lufthansa refuse me checking in and boarding the airplane as I do not require onward travel.

Bringing people up to date. I did a Wise transfer today from my bank in Australia to Bangkok Bank in Thailand. I selected as always "Funds For Longstay In Thailand" used PayID as the transfer method. The transfer took around twelve hours and came through as an International Transfer. My account was opened some years back on a non-immigrant visa, and I am still on a non-immigrant extension. I use the minimum 65k per month transfer method. My account has never been frozen

Hello everyone, I’m flying to Bangkok on the 15th and staying for a month . I’m not just going for vacation but to see if I would like to live there. If so, how long does it take to get a visa and can I stay there while I wait?

Well, BKK Bank finally got around to my account. Frozen and closed.

Anyone find an agent that can make an account happen on a DTV?
