but regulations have changed this year. its very hard now to find a branch that allows it. things have gotten really stricts and you cannot use anecdotal stories from the past
i did all of this in krabi but yet no luck in opening an account. the closest i came was bangkok bank branch that requested using a „friend“ and pay him like 30k baht but require me to switch from dtv to longterm visa or account will be closed… hilarious
thats not a correct and very generalized answer. plenty of embassies only require a bank overview stating the amount. not even a bank statement with transactions. every embassy is different and OP needs to specify this with the embassy he wants to use. or someone needs to guide him to the easiest way (embassy) doing this.
read again. i replied to a post that said „they want you to spend the money (500k)“… its hilarious to think that. because you will always need to have the 500k
what are you talking about? you were saying that „they want you to spend the money“. and i said no they wont because you will need the money in the account for your extension or whatever check may happen in the future.
