What are the requirements for opening a bank account in Thailand for expats with a Non-O visa?

Thomas *******

Bangkok bank told me the same thing. The SI Chiang Mai office told me I had to live in the house for 6 months to get on the yellow book. Can't win. Kasikorn did open one with 90 day non-o, Thai driver's license and tm 30 with an additional paper acknowledging long stay visa. Good luck to you, sir.

What documents do I need to open a Bangkok Bank account with a retirement visa in Thailand?

Thomas *******

same as Nong Khai. No CoR on the 90 day non-o. Bangkok bank in Tha Bo said I needed yellow book which I don't have and they denied me. Kbank in Tha Bo did the account with passport, 90 day photocopy, driver's license and tm30 receipt from immigration. Took a few phone to the higher ups as the Evisa was new to them.

What are the best agents in Pattaya for opening a bank account?

Thomas *******

actually when you are greasing palms (tea money) it's not legal, maybe accepted in the past, but not technically legal. Not much different from getting a speeding ticket, but because your dad knows someone, it will go away.

if you have been watching this site as of late, agencies in Pattaya amongst other places have been shut down with opening accounts on tourist 60 day exemptions.

What are the best agents in Pattaya for opening a bank account?

Come in a 90 day non-o evisa and you can potentially open a bank account if you have the visa, certificate of residency and good luck. Your "pensioner visa" will get you the account (hopefully) so that you can get a yearly extension for that visa. The 60 day exemption makes it near impossible to open an account these days.

Dude, those are just pictures with nice looking ladies. Doesn't mean any more than you took a picture with them. I mean if you do that well in the U.S., why would you think you have to pay for it in Thailand with your skills?
