You've gone totally off topic. This post is about expats living in Thailand. It's not about tourism. Bank accounts are nothing to do with tourists. Stay on topic

What are the steps for opening a bank account in Thailand as an expat on a Non-O visa?

@Peter ********

So an agent didn't open your account, and you've never been on a tourist visa?

@Peter ********

Actually very true. My Bangkok Bank account has never been frozen, and I've always done the right thing. It's surprising the number of people who have used agents to falsify the 800k lump sum have been suspended.

Popular in Sydney as takeaway, don't ever recall it being on tap. You're right about Reschs. That was foul stuff. Unfortunately NSW couldn't make a decent beer.

@Steven ********

65k per month is one per calendar month - time of month irrelevant. I've made transfers as early as the 1st and as late as the 23 - makes no difference provided it's within the calendar month

It was a popular beer in Australia back in the 70's and 80's. God only knows why. It's probably the worst beer I ever tasted in my life - actually no, second worst - nothing beats Chang for bad beer 😆

Can I just deposit 800k in my account to extend my Non-O visa, or should I start fresh?

Steve ********

@Shane ********

Why don't people just use the 65k monthly transfer method? I laugh at those tying up 800k, and laugh at those paying agents 20k per year for a 1900 baht extension.

What are the options for expats under 50 to open a bank account in Thailand on a DTV?

Steve ********

Not a rumour. Impossible to open a bank account on a tourist visa, but can open on a non-immigrant visa. Fact
