@George ****
Does that price include some sort of accommodation, or flight?

162,000 thb seems extremely excessive, our all-in-one services which include bank account, non-o, and a yearly extension do not exceed 60,000 thb.

But as mentioned if possible you can save a lot by just applying for your non-o before you come to Thailand.

If you are not in Thailand yet you should first apply for your non-o based on retirement which can usually be done through
***************************


Once you have done that it will be easy to open a bank account, and then you can use an agency, or apply on your own for an extension.

If you come here only with a exempt entry, or tourist visa the costs to transition to a retirement visa can be quite expensive.

For example we charge around 55,000 to 60,000 thb for the following from a exempt entry / tourist visa:

- Bank Account Opening

- 3 Month Non-O

- 1 Year Extension based on Retirement

If you would like to use our services you can message us via LINE, or EMAIL.

Many of the comments here seem to overlook the current reality.

If you’d attempted to open a bank account in the past month without a long-term visa, you’d understand the situation firsthand.

Another option is to apply for your Non-O visa before arriving in Thailand. Once you arrive with the correct visa, opening a bank account is generally straightforward.

This service is intended for those who are already in Thailand.

Unfortunately, the situation for opening accounts on tourist visas or visa-exempt entries does not seem to be improving.

Not at all.

We’re just clear about our process so clients know what to expect.

Yes, we can only accommodate a limited number of clients per day for this service.

This message serves as advance notice so that if a client contacts us next month asking why we couldn’t assist them, we can refer back to this communication.

We are bangkok based, the branch would be in bangkok.

This service is for those who have tried every other possible option and have not been able to open an account (which is common right now).
