Then you're working with wrong bank.

How many keeps the boarding card after arrival? I don't. 😎

@Andrew *******

The requirements when opening a bank account haven't actually changed that much It's just about the correct visa and proof of residence via for example the certificate of residence from immigration. There are always minor differences in requirements between banks.When I renewed my Fixed Deposit Account at Bangkok Bank in March, customer service at my branch asked if I had an ID-card. Yes,a digital one, I answered and lo and behold, she said,yes that works. I opened the ID-app and showed her how I logged in via fingerprint and she took a photo of the ID. Done. Sometimes you get surprised in a positive way. I wonder what they will come up with next time I go there. 😎

It's imo a totally understandable move to prevent fraud.

@Vinny *************

Yes,it normally does unless bad karma hits you. My transfers have always shown up as international at Bangkok Bank. Shit will eventually happen but there are ways to fix that if needed. No biggie.

@John *********

Where in his post does it say he's staying in a province in Isaan?

@Jay ******

Then you're a lucky guy. 👍

@David ******

That's what I've always said. But try to explain that to people here. People who have been here a very short time and failed to open a bank account. Go figure.

@John *********

Yes, you're correct.But I wasn't talking about an immigration office out in the sticks in Isaan. 😎

@Jeff ************

Yes,you can.That's a standard quite straight forward procedure at immigration. You listened to wrong immigration officer. I guess he wanted you to pay for the change of visa incl the 1 year extension.
