I’ve had two accounts in Bangkok Bank for 8 years. And do you mean the Bangkok Bank in Soi 5 Jomtien? If so, these are their requirements. And good luck with getting a residence certificate just when you show up.

Bank account is opened in 30 min if they allow you. And it’s not easy to open a bank account even in Pattaya without a long stay visa without an agent. I’ve had an account in Krungthai Bank for 10 years and in Pattaya they didn’t even let me open a second savings account within the same bank without a long stay visa.

The requirements for opening a bank account is normally a long stay visa. Visa exemptions or tourist visa makes no difference. You’ll probably need an agent anyway.

You might risk that your airline will ask for or require an onward ticket within the initial 30 days for visa exemption arrivals, regardless of if you’re entitled to do a 30 days local extension later.

Normally up to two weeks, 5-7 days at the Thai embassy in Norway during low season and I know it also been issued within a day or two. Same at the embassy in London based on feedbacks.

If you want to qualify based on funds not monthly income, you just apply at home with £, go to Thailand and open a bank account and bank the 800K baht within a month and after two months you apply for your first year extension of stay at the immigration.

You can use regular income as well, don’t need to be a pension. But there’s two alternatives; income/pension minimum equals 65K baht a month (£1500) OR 800K baht (£) in funds. In Thailand you’ll need to bank 800K baht for your initial 90 days Non O and your extension of stay after 90 days. When you’re able to show proof of twelve consecutive transactions of min 65K baht you can use income for your extensions in Thailand.

This is the legal official way to apply for and maintain a stay based on retirement in Thailand.

Several people will disagree with this. On a tourist visa you’ll need an agent to get help you opening a bank account and at home you can just apply online with your income/pension and you can stay for three months before you need to apply for an extension of stay in Thailand. The requirements for apply for a 90 days Non O in country and at your embassy at home are more or less the same, but in Thailand you’ll need to open a bank account and bank 800K baht before you can apply. The Non O visa is valid for three months after it’s issued and you get stamped in for 90 days anytime within this three months period. Based on feedbacks the processing time at the embassy in London is quite fast at date. Up to you🤷🏼😉
