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.

@Brandon ***********
 Schools often charge more if you want to change to an ED in country, at least in Chiang Mai. For example, Manna charges 12,000 baht more.

It costs more to do it in country, but you can also apply in neighoring countries - places like Penang and Vientiane are a nice trip away.
