How can I open a Thai bank account as a foreigner without a visa?

Mark ******

It seems to depend on the individual branch, not on the bank itself. I opened an account absolutely hassle free at KBank in Sri Racha (on the advice of an Immigration Officer in Sri Racha)

Should I mention my engagement to a Thai woman when applying for a visa to Thailand?

Mark ******

At the moment, it won't matter either way - until things improve, you won't be entering the country unless you are in one of the specified categories.

Isn't there also supposed to be a couple of days as replacements for Songkhran this month though?

Has anyone had success with the Thai immigration app for 90-day reports recently?

Mark ******

I do mine in Sri Racha, which is rarely busy anyway, so I'll leave it for a while. I would think the clock on the next 90 days starts as soon as you do this one - it might save me a visit in the long term if the amnesty is extended again. :)

I've tried it a few times without any luck. I've decided to just wait until close to 31st July, then go in person.

What is the Thai government's stance on foreigners using back to back visas?

Mark ******

The other alternative is to marry a Thai and apply for an O visa based on marriage, or if you are older than 50, look into a Retirement visa. :)

Mark ******

As Stan said, a better option than METV would be an ED visa. Tourist visas in any country are not designed for long stay "visitors" and repeated METVs indicate to Immigration that you are not a genuine tourist.
