Well, I guess Kasikorn Bank would be the best, but they don't have a branch in the village and the next city is 50 km away. My Thai husband has Krungthai Bank, so I guess I will try first to open an account with this bank. I can always change if they make it too difficult.
Like I said, Immigration, that is the immigration office in Phitsanolok, advised me this route. The whole idea of same sex marriages made possible by law, is that no distinction should be made, also not by Immigration.
I am not in the country yet, I will apply for a Non-resident O visa. Thank you especially for the information about the Kor Ror 22 and your experience with your local Amphur, that's very helpful.
When you are 50 or older, you can base your yearly extension on retirement. The financial requirements are higher though, 800.000 baht instead of 400.000 baht.
I want to appIy for a marrige visa in November, also with a non-O retirement visa. I'm Dutch and the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok provides a Certificate of Residence for this purpose. I can only hope that with this document I will be able to open a Thai bank account.
