Make sure your owner or agent supplies a tm30 to you and has it documented. when you go in for your 90-day reporting. many do not so make sure that they do.

no you can't do it online. go into immigration and pay the fine

@Jesper ******

I'm glad that you were able to get it Jasper. But for many that is not possible. It really does depend on the branch that you go to and the mood at the time. I do hope that your funds are not frozen while they try to figure out whether you are a scammer or not. I know many people have had that happen. but for most people who come here who want a bank account it is next to impossible at the present climate. good luck okay to you sir.

I was lucky enough to get mine on a long-term IE 14-month education visa. I got rejected by several Banks before one accepted me. that was over a year ago. now at the current climate I think it's next to impossible to do it.

perhaps an agent?

I bank with krung Thai and have had zero problems. other than once having to go into clarify my documents.

if I was with Bangkok Bank I would open another bank account somewhere and then close the Bangkok Bank one. leaving any money in there would just be dumb in my opinion at this point. but you do you. hope you get your money quickly.

in Bangkok I went without an appointment. I stood in line for several hours and then was told I needed an appointment. I was lucky enough to ask how, he showed me the book and there was a space for the next day so I made it next day I went back had both drivers and motorcycle license. I think it took me about 4 hours in total.

@Gwyn *******

Good answer

Don't use an agent for the driver's license go and do it yourself is my recommendation. it's easy and not worth the hassle of an agent doing it for you in my opinion. what is the hassle you ask? well if you're going to be living here you may as well do it as legally as possible. as far as an agent it will depend on the time of day and the year and what the weather is like... as it varies. Best to ask the agent.

depends on where you live. Make sure your tm30 is up to date and bring your passport. of course I always bring my girl too.

I like to go in person rather than do it online that way I develop some kind of face-to-face with them but I am in the province. I wouldn't do it in Bangkok lol.

@Colin *******

says the guy that then proceeds to rage bait. Why would you call something bullshit unless you know for a fact that it is. And if you don't know for a fact then why don't you just not say anything? I mean it would be better for everyone including you. Have a good day.
