Recently opened a SCB bank acct with passport(nonO) and a thai driving licence the rest are irrelevant....or maybe each different branch have different rules? Keep searching u will find a branch that allows u to open bank acct
Jesper *******
Get a nonO instead of nonOA which doesn't require insurance.....many ppl come to thailand with nonO and start looking for local insurance to cover themselves
Jesper *******
U can also get it from your embassy if they provides.....I got mine from my embassy with my rental receipts stating that I need it for driving licence....infact I got 2 separate cert 1 for driving and 1 for motorcycle hope this helps
Jesper *******

I have apply for the 90days nonO in thailand never did they need police report or medical certificate...lease agreement and 800k in thai bank acct is more important it seems
Jesper *******
You do not need agent...you have until 4oct to fly to thailand once u enter thailand your 90days nonO will start and you will have amost 1mth to open a bank acct and seasoned your 800k even if u take longer time u still can apply for a 30days extension before u apply for the 1yr extensions
Jesper *******
It seems now all banks are only allowed to let Long Term Residents open a bank acct not for tourist staying 3mths doing regular trips
Jesper *******
I would suggest leave the country without a re entry permit...so when u come back thailand it will be visa exempt as your old visa will be void.... since u already have a bank acct with 800k visit immigration near you to get a 90days nonO from there u do the 1yr extension with less than 30days on the nonO with the same untouch 800k

What i would do is book a transit ticket from london to thailand (transit) to Malaysia in that case u don't have to clear immigration after landed just proceed to your next boarding area for Malaysia better still if u can get direct london to malaysia...while in Malaysia book a flight to thailand and a flight from thailand to London.....
