I always expect to have to make second visit, however well i prepare always a curve ball somewhere, and we’re on retirement….its a game to push people towards agents/brokers same nonsense at DLT office with long waiting lists……patience, deep breaths and a smile and think of that first beer when done 🙂
which is why it gets harder for the rest of us, they throw obstacles in the way to deter us and encourage use of agents to line their bank accounts…..downward spiral mate……3 month wait list for a driving license now…why ?.?
Students get special dispensation as temp residents, have to close when they leave like most of us, mine got nailed 8years ago….wouldnt accept my sisters address….😡
SCB Easi Pass is the only account I am aware of where you can keep the 800k that pays decent interest - otherwise its back door agents, bribes, and the risks that entails…..
Try opening a bank account in many other parts of the world, especially as a foreigner - tedious and painful….its a widespread problem not exclusive to Thailand.
