up until February it was easy, but since then I've personally heard of people having problems opening one. So I'm not talking nonsense. I live in Pattaya and hear so many stories good and bad.
You can only apply for your home country now. Non o 90 days visa and then when you're here get an agent to help with a bank account. All changed back in February 👍
My personal experience. Border run in January and no need to do new TM30 because I was returning to the same condo. February did 10 days in a hotel and again there was no need because I was returning to the same condo.
not in Pattaya anyway and that information I got from my agency and they know the law better than you. Banking rules have changed over the last 6 or so months.
