I didn’t print mine, I just screen printed it to my phone and immigration were more than happy. But I agree, print it and give it with your passport. Just in case your phone dies

I recently opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank. Needed passport with Non O visa stamp, rental agreement, 3 forms of ID and also proof of residency notification with immigration. They told me they needed to send everything to their H/O and it would take 2 weeks. I also had to deposit 800,000 baht, which I cannot touch for 4 months. They have now advised me they have now increased this period to 6 months for any new foreigners opening an account. It also took me 2 hours to process everything at the bank when I went to finally open the account. It was very painful.

I just opened my bank account at Bangkok Bank. I originally handed in all the paperwork 3 weeks earlier and chased them for an appointment to go back once head office had approved it. It then took 2 hours of paper filling, questions answering and computer data entry before walking out of the bank. I also had to deposit the 800,000 baht. And yes they want the money in the account for 4 months.

They don’t make it easy
