90 Day reports are mandetory for almost all visas and unrelated to them, except that they may affect the date you need to register by following a visa renewal. Check the page Immigration inserts at the back.

Can I open a Thai bank account immediately after arriving in Thailand with a retirement visa?

Russell ********

Generally you must have it for at least 2 months in a Thai bank accoumt before they issue the visa (thats inside TH anyway).

Some will want the bank to certify the money came from overseas.

However if you alternatively certify your monthly income, i beleive you wont need the deposit at all

and team are the all seeing eye in these matters.
