Be prepared that getting a Thai bankaccount may be very difficult, when you haven’t stayed in Thailand for months.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable customers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so reluctant depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Be aware there is a error in the start of the article ( and several other copy - paste media with the same article )

A Thai Bankaccount has never been a requirement to get DTV, on the contrary it has been one of the big advantage over other visa, that you could get DTV as long as you could show 500.000 Baht equivalent in any bank anywhere in the world.

It has never been the intention that DTV visaholders should be in need of a Thai bankaccount.

If not able to go to the Immigration Office use other options to contact the Immigration.

Or send someone on your behalf.

You should have taken action before the last day.

You should bring it in order as soon as possible, and not wait for when leaving Thailand.

CCTV and police vehicles use face recognition.

Never break the law in a country you want to stay in as a tourist.

Since you are anonymous, it is impossible to tell which travelinsurance is best, since it depends on your country of residence, where you have to buy it, if it should include repatriation ( dead of alive)

You can not apply in Thailand, and it is best to apply in the country where most of the documentation originate from.

Scroll or search the group, that’s the shortcut to answers you need to know about before applying.

And start by reading the website of the nearest Thai Embassy.
