There’s no «you have to this», you heve to that»!

Its all based on the person you meet at the individual bank branch. Every branch and sometimes individuals have different requirements. Like most formal stuff in Thailand 🤷🏻‍♂️

I opened my accounts at first attempt based on Medical treatment + DTV. All they wanted to see was my Visa and ongoing medical treatment. This was in Bangkok just a few months ago.

But what is important: Dress formal when going to the bank. Bank employees are considered «authority», and in Thai culture presenting yourself formally when dealing with bank, immigration, or any authority does matter.

Showing up in flip flops, shorts and singlet is a sure wat to get rejected.

@Peter ********

But that wasn’t OPs question….

Sounds a little too good to be true if BKK….

@Tracy ********

Pattaya/jomtien i assume? In Bangkok the trip back and forth would cost me more than 300. Heck even driving myself would cost that in toll+fuel

@Derrick ****

i assume its in Pattaya as the office is right there in Jomtien. In Bangkok id pay more than 300 just for transport back and forth lol

@George ********

nope

@George ********

first has to be done in person or by post. In Bangkok it easily takes the better part of a day as immigration is way out. 300b for the saved time, way worth it….

@Tracy ********

well good luck. 300b is a bargain

First one has to be done in person or posted in physical mail.

If you have a agent that would go to immigration for you for 300b i might do that haha. But you better trust them with your passport lol.

I know its more difficult for Americans, but if your in Bangkok:

- In google maps, zoom in to Vimut Hospital.

- Then search Bangkok Bank.

Head to the small branch closest to that hope 😉

Im on DTV (medical) and easily got Bank account based on medical treatment, DTV, and condo lease.

Each branch is widely different
