@Tony ****

try to ask for a list of documents required to open an account.

Yes you can obtain a certificate of residency if you are staying in a hotel.

@Michael *******

it could simply be the bank teller is embarrassed by her level of English and doesn’t want to interact with you so just denies. Or she can’t be bothered dealing with a foreigner.

@Michael *******

Wang Chomphu here, so it would be really useful if you could obtain a list of documents required to open a bank account that specifically states that you need to be on an extension of stay in order to open a bank account. At the moment I am leaning towards miscommunication, lost in translation reasons for refusal. If true it would be a game changer for obvious reasons as you cannot get an extension of stay without first obtaining an account.

@Michael *******

which branch of which bank and do you have a list of documents required to open an account there?

@Michael *******

too general, specifically, in your case why did the branch refuse you to open an account, what were you missing?

@Michael *******

and it’s very difficult because?

@Michael *******

the problem here is that the branch is closed to new accounts NOT the documentation required to open an account. Your claim that you cannot now open a bank account on a Non-O is false.

@Michael *******

not another one, here this particular Bank branch has closed new accounts for Foreigners completely. As you can read the OP was able to open an account with a Non-O at another bank.
