@Doug *******

your words confirm your intellect

@Doug *******

so no facts, no evidence, just BS.

@Doug *******

you are one of two people claiming that they could not open a bank account with a non immigrant visa. You have not stated any facts or provided any evidence to support this claim.

Thai Elite is worthless, DTV or LTR.

TM30 is a different animal and not to be confused with 90 day reports.

@Doug *******

you are misinformed, all the posts have been about visa exempt, tourist or DTV holders being denied NOT holders of Non-O visas who continue as before to qualify to open bank accounts. As you claim to have been refused on a Non-O please post the branch bank opening requirements.

Here’s my branch: The visa refers to a Non Immigrant visa.

It’s free.

@Michael *******

I haven’t seen a single comment saying any branch of any bank refused to open an account because they held a Non-O visa.

Yes can confirm SOME branches of SOME banks require a 12 month lease to open an account.

@Doug *******

banks have stopped opening accounts for people on tourist visas. Banks will only allow 1 phone number to be registered to an account. To open an account you need a non immigrant visa, Thai phone number, certificate of residency, lease agreement / yellow book, passport, 2nd photo ID. When I opened my foreign deposit account 2 weeks ago they asked for my TIN, which I queried and eventually wasn’t needed. So yes I do have recent experience of opening an account. I have never heard of anyone being refused an account because they hold a non immigrant visa, in fact in every list of documents to open a bank account I have seen it is a requirement.
