I haven’t seen those requirements either just successfully applicants who have shown the full amount for the entire period Who knows they may have been approved with just the final balance😀

@Todd ********
no I just used a commonly used and understood term to save a whole lot of typing - is it a problem 😀

@Ray ******
and what visa do you have cos that seems to the general sticking point

And yes it was easy for me as I have had my acct for years but that doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on now

@Ray ******
opening a bank account is only difficult if you don’t have the appropriate Visa. A tourist Visa even a DTV is not considered appropriate

@Angela ******

there is no need for a tie Agent. As you explained if you meet the requirements you fill out the paperwork which is the same in a lot of countries😀

@Psyde *******
the OP didn’t ask if a bank account was required or for alternative methods if you don’t have a bank account they asked about opening a bank account

You’ll need to check specifics with your embassy. Some require three or six months worth of statements but it’s the final balance of 500 KTHB that is important while others require seasoning

Agents often seem to misinterpret new rules etc if it benefits them by ‘helping’ you

There are very specific reasons why Bangkok bank may freeze your funds but it’s not a general thing
