That's why I said you need to look into this yourself. You can open your bank account after you obtain a non o retirement visa as far as I know. It's always been done that way. Obviously you have to be in country to open the bank account.

You need to look this up independently. If you solely rely on answers on Facebook you will definitely wind up wasting time.

As I said, I've read different.

@Rob *********

I'm aware of what they require. But the term proof of funds doesn't specifically mean cash.

@Rob *********

I've read otherwise.

@Stéfan *******

I'm talking about the story being BS. There's more to it than what's being told. I've been allowed to go to an ATM at BKK and in Laos. A person can log onto their bank account with their phone and show proof of funds. This traveler must have looked like a vagrant or had multiple recent entry stamps. She was probably gonna be denied entry regardless.

@Stéfan *******

BS

@Henry *********

You could literally log into your bank account with your phone. This is a BS post. Click bait

@Stéfan *******

If that were the case she'd be able to prove funds. She must have already had a return flight.

You don't need to have cash on hand to provide proof
