I tried 6 banks in Ubon on 1st visit, pretty much everyone had different criteria for opening. 2 however said "come back with retirement visa and we'll open one". Got 3 weeks after AQ to open and transfer cash so I'm going back with my shiny Non O and politely requesting one. If they say no I'll fly back to Bangkok with fiancée, apparently easier to open there

Only 2nd time here, 1st on 60 day tourist visa so I'm by no means savvy on visas BUT using Thai Embassy page in UK i applied for, and got, Non O based on retirement in less than a week. Uploaded UK savings account summary showing adequate funds + other requested documents. No police report needed. IT IS SO EASY I would listen to others re under the table agents. Honestly, save ya dosh, do it yourself. Good luck

Yes, Non O. Used funds in UK bank for proof

@Stuart ********

thanks, I tried 6 banks in Central Plaza, Ubon and 2 said if I had the word retirement in my passport they'd open an account. I'll ask them to write it but if not hopefully the long term should get it. Thanks again

I'd like to thank everyone, particularly the admins, for all the invaluable help and support you've given me. It's very much appreciated 👍👍
