Pattaya has faced some issues recently, and several major agents were no longer able to assist with account openings.

Most branches outside of Pattaya remain unaffected. Ultimately, it's up to the individual branch and manager to decide whether to take the risk of opening an account for you.

For our clients, we require the purchase of an insurance package (approximately ฿5,900) and conduct a screening process to ensure they intend to stay in Thailand long-term.

The problems in Pattaya arose largely due to the lack of proper screening. Too many accounts were opened without vetting, leading to a spike in scam-related activity.

That being said if you come to our team with intent of long stay then we can assist with Bank account opening. For example obtaining a non-o, or DTV visa.

Just a quick note: if you prefer to have everything handled in one day, including having your passport returned with the 15-month extension and processed through Bangkok immigration, the fee may be roughly 10,000 THB higher.

If you can wait a few weeks, the cost will be lower.

@Albert *******

This most likely included bank account opening as well.

Right now we charge for everything in one go for 50,000, and if you do not need bank opening we charge 37,000.

23,000 - 3 month non-o

14,000 - yearly extension

13,000 - bank opening in TR, or exempt

We assist with this but we do not offer it as a stand-alone service for obvious reasons.

If they wanted our assistant to open an account they would also need to use us for the non-o as well.

@Nongnuch *******

Agents can still assist with bank acounts on tourist, or exempt entry.

We do regularly, but we require the client to use us for visa services as well.

He may find one that does not have these requirements.

Please note that we cannot hide your name.

You can try contacting our team in regards to emergency options.

We offer VIP DTV extension services upon request.

If you're in Bangkok, our courier can conveniently pick up your documents and deliver them back to you once the process is complete.

We have successfully assisted with hundreds of DTV applications.

Our team also offers extension services, visa run services, and bank services for DTV visa holders.

It can be slightly easier with ED than TR, or Exempt Entry.

Also would depend on if it's a 90 day, or a 1 year.

At the end of the day it's up to the staffs discretion.

It really depends on the bank, branch, province, and visa type.

Never hurts to try on your own first.
