First of all, why do you need to open up a bank account in a foreign bank if you’re underneath a Tourist visa. Only one should be open up a bank account is the ones that have a retirement visa or a long-term visa and after seeing all this, I’m gonna be skeptical of opening up any bank account. I don’t think I wanna open up no bank account and I get up the next morning and somebody have basically froze 25 or more thousands of my dollars. Why can’t you just have your own banks account if you are a foreigner.
Can you tell me something because I am seeing different requirements for the Non -O vise for the amount of money that should be set aside in your bank account. What is the amount
I plan on moving to Thai in another year or two. Do you have to open a Thai bank account. Because just seeing all this is giving me a big red flag , to not open one up.
