I once took a retired Police Officer who had a couple under his command transfer to Immigration as a whitntess to my marriage Just in case I needed a marriage visa however turns out he was not needed as they accepted my paper work for extension based on retirement. However my Visa was processed with the speed of light.

my point was the US IRS Reporting is not the problem as the EU have the same, but no reporting, problem opening accounts as Americans.

@Wylie ******
while what you say is factual the US Government does impose reporting on its citizens it has zero do do with a branch opening or not opening an account here in Thailand. The Europeans have the same difficulties. With my Yellow Book I have zero problem opening accounts as it about documentation.
