I have read many similar posts to this and was wondering if my experience was a one off I recently moved here from UK and needed a bank account Before I traveled I transfered money from UK to my wife's bank account
We went to openan account for me atKBank (that phanom) They looked at my passport, my non o immigration (90day) visa Transfered the money from her account over and that was it 45mins approx I had a bank account with ATM card I would say my wife did all the talking but it was very much a pain free process
