I have no clue if this is an official list or site but if it is Nepal is not on the list here. Do not take this list as definitive though - do your on research

Congrats - that was fast

The only way is to use an agent. The banks have clamped down recently due to a few things. One is Thailand signed the CRS (Common Reporting Standards) agreement recently and this puts extra conditions on them ie reporting to the country of tax residency of account holders. So for exam0le if I was still Tax Resident in UK my Thai banks woukd have to report to UK each year my banking. The other issue is the number of scams taking place. This is especially true where the scammer compounds are based in Burna and Cambodia. There was a case where a man killed his wife and family after his wife lost everything to scammers. Banks need to be careful who they let open accounts. This also effected SIM cards and how many a person can have

Retirement or Spouse Visa also possible to open an account

To be fait the DTV is still only a tourist visa. Tell me which other countries allow yiu to open a bank account as a tourist these days? With all the scams and money laundering it is fighters in nearly all jurisdictions to open a bank account.

Interesting. Singapore Thai Embassy always had its quirks. I am sure there are tax issues too ie a Singaporean becoming Tax Resident in Thailand if they stayed over 180 days. I worked Singapore for 10 years and the number of days in Singapore to qualify for local tax was around 180. Any less in a year and you pay a flat tax on Singapore income. My boss travelled frequently and it got very complex

@SJ *****

Really! So Singapore citizens have to apply outside Singapore? What is the reasoning behind that I wonder.

Anonymous participant Well no as you are registered in Bangkok. You are better off asking an agent. TikTok Services in Jomtien are very good and are on Facebook

@Jai ******

Who told you no need to report?

It is meant to be but in practice it is not strictly applied. I helped people who could not do the 90 day reports as no TM30 (Thus it was obvious it was not done in 24 hours). They had the TM30 completed and then did the 90 Day without penalty. With certain Immigration Offices ie BOI One-Stop-Shop the TM30 was never required.
