Can you open a bank account in Thailand on a tourist visa?

@Eamonn ******

next time you make an international withdrawal, take 2 mins and compare the exchange rate to the currently published exchange rate. You will discover why I’m a Schwab shareholder and not a client.

Also safe to assume you pay a monthly fee. Not free banking like so many of us

@Ryan ****

have you finished the wall yet 😂😂😂😂 embarrassing and pathetic.

‘Home of the brave’ is cute. So much more lyrical than ‘home of the weak’ waiting for the Japanese to kick us into action.

What recent changes affect bank account opening for visa-exempt individuals in Thailand?

@Phil *************

Mexico! And I also believe very close to that in Cambodia. 8.25% (ps - just verified and I’m actually 7.75% now) is the current annualized rate on a 180 day, government backed, term deposit. Interest rates have been between 6.75 and 9.5% for the last 6 years mate

I clearly DO realize don’t I? I’m the one NOT putting my money in a Thai account at less than 1%. That would be silly wouldn’t it.

Yes paying the agency 14k annually makes your 800k problem go away. The owner of this page is one such agency.

Reach out to them for absolute clarity on your situation

Will my third border run affect my application for a Non-O visa while in the USA?

@Doug ******

Yes - your chances almost 100%. Unless other factors exist that you have not mentioned here. Your recent entry history won't affect the visa application. iI also agree with Jan that with the 'proper visa' in place, actual re-entry should also be no issue at all.
