Elite visa is only for those who doesn't qualify for other visas and can pay upfront....myself is using the nonO retirement visa (over 50) which cost 1900baht annually... 800k is still there after 5yrs where else the 650k u pay for elite is totally gone after 5yrs

Is this for every bangkok branch? Or only some branch? I have a bangkok bank acct since 2017 but only did the 800k in 2022 my balance have gone less den 800k only for the month of June'25 and top up over 800k in july'25 ...I'm applying for extension in September does bangkok bank provide me the letter?

Not a problem to enter thailand ....but getting married and stay long term in thailand has a lot of obstacles to go though doing it yourself or use a agent depends on individuals

Processing time 30minutes including registration of bank app

@Glenn ****

it's not about balance requirements....it's about the letter or statements that the bank provides needs to be stamp and signed

@Frank *********

dont u need the bank to stamp and signed for the statements from the app?

I already have a thai bank acct when I start to process my non0 90days in thailand.....I book hotel for a week and during the week I found a apartment and signed for a year after I use the lease to apply for initial 90days nonO with 800k and there after apply for 1yr extension.....many ppl are afraid of signing 1yr lease but not me as I rent apartment the requirements is 1mth deposit and 1mth advanced.....if I dont like the place I just move out and loose 1mth deposit and that's it

Don't listen to the negative comments....it still can be done just visit more branches

Get a letter from the school that issues you the 1yr ED visa and ask the school which branch do they do business with....u get a better chance going to the same branch

It all depends on bank branch....all have diffeent requirements lease agreement, residency cert, etc ....the most important is proper long term visa or work permit......I opened a SCB bank acct with just nonO visa and thai driving licence and noting else .....u need to visit more branches
