My local Bangkok bank wouldn't even let me open one on my non-o visa with a certificate of residence from immigration. The employee said : only for long term visas or education visas 🤡🤣

Kasikorn wasted 40min for all paperwork and pictures, but at the end denied because my name on marriage certificate was longer than on my passport (well I have officially 5 first names, but only the two first ones and the first letter of the 3rd one are printed on my passport) , they couldn't make sure I was the one married to my wife 🤣

SCB was the bank that didn't make problems, only had to wait for approval from HQ a few days. Opened after that also my Fixed deposit account and an FCD at their place 👍🏼

That was last year. It's like you read all the times, every office/branch , private or government are just ticking differently by making up their own rules, interpretating them differently or just by pire ignorance/incompetency.

@Christopher ********

Maybe you should stop arguing and give advice in a Disneyland group instead of here where terminology regarding immigration matters makes the whole difference.

Just get a dentist appointment schedule instead 😁

I would be surprised if the financial requirements will be different than :

Anyone married to a Thai wife : 400k

Man married to Thai husband : 400k

@Kullapat ****

Yes, you only need a bank statement for you initial Visa application. If they don't like that your bank statement was from 10 day before your application they will reach out to you to request an actual one (pdf done in 1 min on your online banking)

@Ka ****

what if that happened in Thailand ?

The seasoning is only for when you apply for the 1 year extension of your permit to stay, not for aplying for your intial visa online.

@John *****

I would request the list in thai too and translate it with Google. Better have 2 copies of each document. Copy of passport = every page with a stamp.

YMMV

@Brandon ***********

well the list often lacks details and the English version (at least at my office) is lacking even more details. I prepared my documents with the list but also took into account other people's advice.

From memory, two pieces of advice that helped me save a lot of time because it wasn't on the list they gave me : 2 copies of each document , copy of passport is more like every page with any stamp on it.
