Which bank is best for expats to open an account in Thailand?

Stephen ********

fair enough, I just opened one last November and at that time they stated they were the only bank that would open an account for a "tourist" provided there was 30 day remaining.

Bangkok Bank are the only bank that will open an account for a tourist, so should be easier with a long term visa

What are the benefits of applying for a 60-day tourist visa versus visa exempt with an extension in Thailand?

Stephen ********

@Linhof ********

it's not difficult. It's easier to apply for the evisa than to have to interupt your holiday to go to immigration for an extension, and it's sliggtly more expensive. You may also need a TM30 for your extension which is more paperwork, more time and possibly more money

Is the Ranong visa run still possible in May 2024?

Stephen ********

As mentioned, it's was done last week trouble free. But I think it'll depend on. What visa you have, if any. From what I've read, if your leaving to return without a visa and wanting to enter visa exempt, then it can be difficult as they apparently want all the proof. The ฿20k, the departure ticket, the boarding for the full term

Do I need to show my accommodation and onward travel details for a 30-day visa exemption upon entry to Thailand?

Stephen ********

There is no 30 day visa on entry. There is a 30 day visa exempt entry, all you need is passport and possibly need to show an onward/return ticket at check in

When can I withdraw money from my Thai bank account after satisfying the 800,000 THB requirement for a visa?

Stephen ********

@Howard ********

yes, but the 400k mentioned is the figure relevant to a retirement visa as the minimum for the 7 months in between the months where 800k is the minimum

@Howard ********

the balance for retirement visa cannot fall below 400k in the months when 800k is not required. So, the 2 months before and 3 months after require 800k, the other months the balance can drop below 800k but must stay 400k or above
