What are the requirements for opening a bank account in Thailand as an expat with a visa?

Jan ******************

You’ll enter on a visa exemption which will make it quite hard or almost impossible to open a bank account. If you’re passed 50 years you’ll make it a lot easier by applying for a 90 days Non O visa at home before you go.

How does the 90-day Non-O retirement visa work regarding its validity and extension process in Thailand?

Jan ******************

@Jim ******

Yes with a Non O visa you’ll be able to open a bank account. You might have to visit a couple of branches as some also ask for a one year extension, but you’ll succeed as I did last month with a Non O in Bangkok Bank Jomtien.

How does the 90-day Non-O retirement visa work regarding its validity and extension process in Thailand?

Jan ******************

@Jim ******

If you apply for the initial 90 days Non O visa the funds has to be in your account at date when you apply. (Jomtien requires two months seasoning also for the initial visa).

For your one year extension of stay the funds needs to be seasoned for two months to apply.

@Nongnuch *******

I agree, the visa itself expires when it gives you a 90 days stamp or stay upon entry. And he’ll need to bank the required amount within the first month in order to get two months seasoning for apply.

How does the 90-day Non-O retirement visa work regarding its validity and extension process in Thailand?

Jan ******************

No, the visa is valid for 90 days after it’s issued and gives you a 90 days stay at any day you enter within these 90 days.

You’ll need to open a bank account and bank the 800K baht within 30 days. Then you apply for the extension of stay before your Non O expires.

@Paul ******

The multiple entry option for Non O is removed in the e-visa system. You can apply for the one year extension of stay in Thailand and purchase multiple re-entry permits.
