Can I open a bank account in Thailand with just a TM30 and no residency certificate?
Duncan *******
Ask the branch what they require. With a Non-Imm visa, they might not need a residency certificate - at least it seems to be more of a requirement for those without Non-Imm visas. But they might - problem is solved by asking.
