@Paul *******

We’re also surprised to hear reports of individuals struggling to open bank accounts despite already holding a Non-O visa.

In most cases, having a Non-O visa should make the process straightforward, so there may be additional circumstances involved in their situation if they claim they still cannot open an account.

@Sam *****

For that price are they opening a bank account for your as well from TR, or Exempt?

If not you are bing massively overcharged, it seems like you need the following:

▪️ Initial bank account opening on a TR

▪️ 3-month Non-O visa

▪️ 12-month retirement extension

If you do not need the bank account opening we charge ฿37,000 for the initial non-o, and yearly extension. If the bank account opening is needed on a TR visa then we charge ฿60,000

There are many scams.

As long as you have a clean history, and apply for your TDAC within 72 of your arrival date it is FREE for almost all nationalities.

We offer Fast Track / Prescreening which can help avoid issues like this.

This also can be done through:

@Wannikea ********

Yes, and it is free if they submit within the 72 hours (which allows your to copy older TDAC details).

Our TDAC is free here, and allows you to copy the information from a previous TDAC:



If you submit earlier than 72 hours then there is a small fee, otherwise it's FREE.

@Jim ******

Our rate for 1 year extension is

- Yearly Retirement Visa Ext : 14,000 thb

- Multiple Entry : 4,000 thb

= 18,000 thb

@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

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.
