@Alex ********
but you weren't applying for a retirement extension. He is. Different thing to extension based on marriage.

@Alex ********
marriage extension is not what he's applying for. Different thing. It's a retirement extension, less paperwork, much easier.

@Alex ********
for retirement visa? Did you get the list from your immigration office so you had everything needed before applying?

@Dany *******
he's complaining about needing a visa to get a bank account. He could have applied for a visa before arriving, no Thai account needed, and open his Thai account when he arrived. As for other countries requiring you to show funds to remain long term, I don't know. But I suspect there may be a financial requirement.

@Alan *****
but people still complain about Thailand, as if it's unreasonable to need a visa to open an account.

I'd not use an agent. But the guy doesn't want to go get a visa so he can get a bank account.

even in UK and agent wouldn't help you. Seems people expect special treatment in Thailand.

@Eric *******
go to a nearby country for a few days. Apply for a visa. I suppose you could pay an agent to help you open a bank account. But no point complaining about a bank account system that is same as many other countries like UK.

Not sure what country you're from but tourists can't open bank accounts in UK.
