With the new changes to bank accounts in Thailand, will that affect people that have existing accounts or just people trying to open new ones ?

FYI, looks like some kind of squeeze is on.

Now this is a single report only so take it as that - a single anecdote. It is not confirmed policy and may be only a single bank manager implementing it at their branch.

In another thread about taxation in another group a guy tried to open a bank account yesterday and was told he needed a TIN (Tax Identification Number).

If this becomes standard bank policy the cat will be truly among the pigeons - especially for those on visas other than DTV.

Could anyone help me please.

Hello Guys,

Does anyone know if it's possible to open a bank account in Thailand with TR Visa ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
