@David ******

in Brandon’s defence I’ve seen plenty of posts in this group saying that exact thing. It appears to be a new phenomenon which is steadily increasing. Hopefully it’s just a blip. One thing Brandon can’t be accused of is misinformation. He’s one of the most accurate contributors on this group

@Pete ******

I must of been lucky. In Phetchabun they gave me the website details to watch the training and do the test on my mobile phone. ( so easy to do just an hour) then back to the DLT office with medical certificate. 30 minutes later left with both car and motorcycle licence. Took one morning. amazing how different it is in different places

@Max ************

absolutely. I don’t blame the staff. It’s the branch managers that set the rules and they get together and clearly just make it up as the go along 🤣🤣🤣

@Max ************

yeah agreed. At the time I had come to the end of my tether. Day 3 of travelling all over the region only to get turned down by all banks. As we know each branch citing different and nonesense requirements. When you point out the banks web page and

Policy it’s the old shrug and try somewhere else!! It’s pretty clear the initial 90 day visa has them stumped, and although they agree you need an account for the extension of stay they won’t open an account without that. Once again greeted with the customary shrug

I opened an account with Krungthai in Lomsak having been turned down numerous times by both Kasikorn and SCB. I’m in a non O 90 day for retirement. Really helpful staff and very easy to open an account. I did. Have to take out small insurance policy though.

@Jeremy *******

I got denied as well for yellow house book. Despite having long term lease local Amphoe wanted me on a marriage visa or no go.

@Frank ********

Brandon is one of the good guys on here. I’m not sure that was called for. I understood perfectly what his point was. Maybe lost in translation

I’m looking forward to the follow on from this post once in Thailand and trying to open a bank account without the aid of an agent 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Terry **********

ahh get it now. If I was you I’d do some research in this group. So many people on marriage visas report how much of a nightmare it is to get an extension of stay. Non O for retirement if you qualify seems a good bet.

Sorry if I’ve missed something here. Do you have any kind of visa?
