Again, you need one from the embassy (sort of confirming you are who your passport says.)

My experience from Bangkok Bank, EmQuartier: I hand the guy my passport and as I'm sitting down and messing around my dunnage, he suspiciously goes "hmm, Denmark..." I pull out the embassy letter and say "also have this from my embassy" and he lights up like a xmas tree and goes right ahead. I was on a tourist visa at the time. But I don't think he even checked that.

A letter "from immigration"? What kind of letter?

What you need is a "letter of reference" from your embassy (which can just be a certified copy of your passport.)

I'm going to go right ahead and steal that expression 😅 Thanks!

Indeed! And let us know what you find out and which office it was :)

500,000 baht is the cheapest one. You can start the process here



If you want to get it done before Sep 26, I'd advise getting started right soon.

It was an interesting experience. I handed the guy my passport and he looks at it a bit and goes "hmm, Denmark, eh..." While I was messing around in my dunnage. So, I pull up this letter from my embassy and he lights up like a xmas tree 😅 Everything was smooth from there.

Opened my account on a tourist visa.

@Kim *****

try different branches.

Went to Bangkok bank with a "letter of reference" from my embassy. All smooth.

I'm looking forward to them 😅
