Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a 1-year ED visa?

Max *************

@Robert *******

Again,it's not actually illegal. It's the same when using an agent when applying for an extension at immigration. You're paying for it and the agent is paying immigration,but it's not officially illegal. This is a common misunderstanding among foreigners.

Many agents do bank accounts,but I have no clue about the cost. It's actually not a bribe.

There's no such thing as a 90 days stamp in the passport.You'll get an Admitted until stamp at immigration on arrival.

Immigration has the right to ask for the source of the 65k per month deposits based on retirement.Officially transfers from a personal bank account back home is not accepted even if it works in most provinces. Immigration might ask for a stamped and signed document from a pension provider showing you're officially retired.

What steps should I take to activate my Non-O visa and open a bank account in Thailand?

@Paul ********

A yellow house book is totally useless except for some provinces in isaan or northern Thailand.In "normal" provinces they might ask for a residence certificate from immigration showing the official address in Thailand.

What do I need to know about applying for a non-O retirement visa in Thailand while using a Bangkok Bank account?

@Jamie *****

You need to go for a 12 months bank letter from your bank,but most banks only issues a 6 months letter. They have to order a 12 months letter from the head office. My Bangkok Bank branch issues a 12 months letter,but that doesn't mean every branch does.
