, We had many posts on this topic.

Each bank , even branch have distinct policy.

Go to Krungsri at MBK, 4 rt floor.

They will grant you a bank account, on a tourism visa, no work permit required, no letter from embassy required.

Krungsri branch at MBK got me a non-resident account on a tourist visa, not work permit,

Yes, they actually took my passeport, then came back telling me they could not since I was in overstay, then I showed them the Government document (posted on this group) about the amnesty. They then agreed with me that I was not an illegal and gave me the account. Only thing is, it is an NRBA (Non-Resident Baht Account). But for my purpose, showing 800,000 Baht in a Thai account, that is perfect. I can also use the app for bank transfers.

@Tod ********

That is correct

@Tod ********

I am on a tourist entry, visa exempt (I am Canadian) , now under amnesty, long past my stamp date, and got a savings account with atm card at Krungsri at MBK.
