What are the requirements and tips for opening a bank account in Thailand as an expat?

Tim ******

Facial recognition is only required for amounts >50k or changing daily limits.

How can I disable facial recognition or set a new one? You said you only use finger print recognition.

When I opened my bank account I had to set up facial recognition (without glasses). Now I can't read the instructions about when to smile and blink without glasses. 😅

Is it acceptable to keep the 800k in a separate account for visa extension purposes in Thailand?

Tim ******

@Luit ****************

I'm not sure if we misunderstand each other. My 2nd extension is on Nov 2025. If I now start transferring 65k/m then I only have 11 months on the day of my 2nd extension on Nov 2025. So I start transferring 65k/m Oct 2025 to have 12 months on the day of my 3rd extension on Nov 2026.

Not really in my case. I opened a second account in another province.

At first they even wanted me to take out another insurance with them. 😅

Short before the next extension you should start with 65k. Before don't make sense if I am not mistaken.

I recently opened a second BBL account in another province and got a new debit card. 2 BBL accounts and a debit card for each account.

Why would someone choose a privileged visa over a retirement visa in Thailand for those over 50?

Tim ******

I think very few people (incl. myself) start monthly transferring 65k before they have the first extension. But then it takes two years before you can withdraw the 800k.
