I have lived here since August 2024.

I wanted a bank account and driver license.

So first l went to immigration and got a paper that allowed me to be written in my girls bluebook.

Then l went to amphoe in my district, they did the translation,the only thing l need to translate was my name to thai for the pink card.

Then a village elder/worker hade to come there and sign l live where we say. Costed 60 baht.

I then got the pink id,yellow book and went to the bank and got an account.

Then l went to the office for driver license and got my Norwegian driver license translated to thai,watched a 1hr movie and took reaction test and light test payed 200 baht and 10min l got the license.

This was 3weeks ago in wangsaphung.

Hope it helps you little.

@Michael *******

the offer they give you in the bank when you open the account is 12- baht over what you get if you contact them in line app. Att least k bank

Asking this here will give you gray hair. It's better to go to the immigration and ask

Search the visa in the thai embasy in your country and get no problems,easy and best.

lm on a retire visa, and to get the bank acount you need to go to immigration and ask to be written in to a residents blue book, they then give you a paper you go to the local amphoe office with and show your passport and the paper.Then you need a local/village elder/worker to give green light you live where you say.Then they will give you a yellow book and pink card and you can go to the bank and open the acount. Its a lot more work now after the new monney laundering laws hawe come.
