John *********

I live in Phuket and I am on my first 90 days of non-o immigrant visa. I get the permanent one year retirement visa in a couple weeks. I asked the head of the local Bangkok bank and he said I have no problem to worry about.

Is it better to have both bank accounts for visa extension and daily expenses at the same bank or at different banks in Thailand?

John *********

Same as

. I have my one account with 800,000 and that I just don’t touch. It’s a fixed account that it gets a little bit more interest.

My savings passbook account is where I transfer my pension into every month so eventually, I can get the 800,000 back .

Why is it difficult to open a Thai bank account without a visa?

John *********

I flew to Cambodia where the hotel rooms are only $30 a night. I applied for the E online visa through the Thai embassy (non-o immigrant). Had to stay there two weeks, but it was very cheap. Returned with my Visa in my email.
