Your profile says you own a business in Bangkok. Probably why they refused.

How easy is it for 2 foreigners to get married in Thailand? I only know friends who have married Thais and they had a lot of running around to do to get certificate from Embassy. Have it officially translated and affirmed at Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Then it was hard to get appointment at Amphur so paid a facilitation fee for an early appointment. I think in the end he paid an agent to do it all.

Will you not be entering the country to activate your DTV? The 90 days resets so you count the 90 days from the last entry. As for in person this seems to be open up for interpretation and may depend on the Immigration Office. In Chiang Mai I have been told in a group and by my agent I will have to go in person after an overseas trip even if my last one was in person.

I bet you wish you had not bothered potsing now lol 5555 Should just name the bank and branch (I know you mentioned previously) together with documents you provided and leave it at that. Then people can try their luck if they so wish but no guarantees. Just be happy you got an account at probably the best local bank. :-)

When you get the new passport go to Immigration and it will be transferred over. Well the last time that is how it worked unless something changed since 2018.

I use Bangkok Bank for my ATM etc. Just transfer money over when I I am going out etc then if I lose that card never more than 20k on it and usually less. The Boarding Card is great for travelling as you exchange money upfront and use it in local ATMs. I have used it in UK, Netherlands, Switzerland and Singapore for local currency. Online it works well and you can switch it on and off on the application and change the max amounts. I used it to buy a Breitling and transferred the cash into when I was in the shop.

Someone just posted that they opened an account on DT%V in Krungsri in Central Festival Pattaya. Good luck with it, but they are a good branch and have always been helpful, even though my account is elsewhere.

Interesting about the Cert of Residence and IO. Jomtien immigration certainly have a Bangkok Bank branch they prefer to use 🙂 I think Krungsri are best of the Thai Banks. Part Japanese owned. I used to work for a Japanese company with thousands of workers in Thailand - all payroll went into Krungsri. At the branch I used 5k salaries per month went into it including expat Directors and C-Suite. I never heard a complaint about their banking. If you can get their "Boarding Card" is a very handy product but you may been a WP for it. Give it a go though as it is the most useful card I have at the moment
