If you already have a yearly extension, opening a bank account should be very straightforward.

Some branches may also allow account opening even with just a Non-O visa.

We recommend trying with the following banks:

▪️ TTB (TMBThanachart Bank)

▪️ LH Bank (Land and Houses Bank)

@Maxim **********

We must handle the whole process.

▪️ Initial bank account opening

▪️ 3-month Non-O visa

▪️ 12-month retirement extension

@Tony ****

Unfortunately, if you did not coordinate your Non-O visa application with our team, there is currently a significant additional fee.

The charge ranges from 15,000 to 20,000 THB, depending on the province where your visa was obtained.

Correct, but this only applies to bank account opening.

If you do not need a bank account, there’s no need to travel to Bangkok. You can use our services remotely via EMS or secure post.

Some members have repeatedly tried to misinform expats, claiming that retirees cannot use our services and must leave Thailand.

While we're generally lenient about minor inaccuracies in this group due to the ever-changing nature of the situation, please do not make false statements about our services. Continued misinformation may result in a warning or removal from the group.

We want to be absolutely clear: we can assist with this process 100%.

@Doug *******

That’s quite surprising. We can assist in Bangkok, but unfortunately, the cost is the same as it would be for someone on a tourist visa.

Perhaps someone in the group can share a branch they’ve found to be more flexible.

We’re not sure which agency provided you with that information, but we do not require our clients to obtain an ED visa.

Our process is straightforward and typically takes less than a week. It includes opening a bank account, obtaining a 3-month Non-O visa, and securing a 1-year extension.

The total cost for everything typically ranges between 55,000 to 65,000 THB, depending on the time of year. At the moment, it’s approximately 60,000 THB.

That said, we strongly advise against applying for your Non-O visa from within Thailand. It’s far better to apply before you arrive, which allows you to open your own account. If you still choose to use an agency afterward, the cost can be up to 75% lower.
