@David *********

you can get issues now.

Max Fredriksson...I knew exactly how to do it. Had all the correct paper work and with the 90 day non o retirement visa the first three banks in udon thani, said NO.

The fourth , Krungsgri said yes so stop your KNOW ALL comments. Many people ARE getting more issues now on opening a bank account even WITH everything that used to make it easy .OK..

We aren't all stupid as your post infers ..it IS getting more difficult..get over yourself and actually believe what many saying...you probably got yours ages ago so get yourself updated ...

I think any bank using their knowledge of visa requirements a a way of forcing you to keep a specific sum in the account for a specific time is very poor,almost blackmail. I understand the reason, but surely ,the correct way is verify your customers better and stop the agents abusing the system.

@Philippe ********

I applied whilst in Vientiane, I can't honestly remember the application asking for proof of onward travel... not sure it did tbh.

If you have to, get a 3 dollar train ticket nong Khai to Vientiane on 12go Asia, Bangkok immigration accepted that as proof of leaving when I first arrived in March

@Pete ******

.. read people's experiences. That's more real than anything you quote.

Enough said .bye🤡

Pete power agents love child😂😂😂

@Pete ******

.I don't spout information, I only say what I have experienced, wheras everything you say you claim to be 💯 percent correct. A thread a few weeks ago,loads of people tell you they experienced different to what you spout as FACT ..you denied any of them correct or they to stupid to do things right. Go back to pet power ivory towers...🤡

Pete Power but you messaged me ages ago insisting bank will open account if they have what was the correct paperwork. You even told me to prove that a bank would not do for me. It seems you finally are up to date and realise some banks do prevent opening an account. Well done...you caught up

@Pete ******

...and what date was this posted as I can't be bothered to spend hours copying and pasting from another place.

@Pete ******

one to two days needed in bangkok...funny that ....must be easy if it takes two days....mine took twenty five minutes when I found a bank that would allow it it, with my non o.
