I tried one more time at Krungsri Bank in Bangkok, a couple hours before I had the appointment with the visa agency and they opened the account for me! After almost 3 weeks of trying everything under the sun, I finally got it and just in time to transfer the funds! A miracle. I thank you all for taking the time to give me some advice. I really appreciate it.

Yes, I realize I will be stuck with them until I go back to EU and request an OA visa. I am a little concerned that they deposit the 800k and won’t let me transfer it. I cannot open the bank account by myself. I have tried in every way possible and it is just not happening. There’s another agency in Bangkok (Thai Visa Expert) that says they can help me open the bank account and then I can do the visa myself, which would be preferable for me but I worry he might not be legit.

Hi Steve, thanks for the comment. What difference would it make if the 800k is mine or not?

thanks for commenting. I am not bypassing anything illegal. All of my documents are good but because I live in Nakhon Pathom, it has been a nightmare trying to do it by myself 😊

Thanks Todd!

@Pete ******

I am way past the hassle limit. It has proved impossible 😂

@David ******

I know and I agree but it would cost way too much and they said they can do the 90 day report in Bangkok for a very reasonable price. Thanks for commenting 😊

Hi Max, I have been getting mixed replies about this. We shall see. I hope you’re wrong. 😉

Merci pour vos conseils. J'en tiendrai compte. Pour l'instant, je n'ai même pas de compte bancaire en Thaïlande. J'essaie désespérément d'en ouvrir un. Je me rendrai à Bangkok la semaine prochaine après les vacances de lundi. 🤞🏻
