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 ?

This is one of the reasons bank account access is being tightened up and it will be increasingly harder to open an account.

FYI, looks like some kind of squeeze is on.

Hi everyone,

A very Happy New Year to you and your Family.

I’ve been on a DTV visa for two months, and I’ve visited almost all the banks in Bangkok, including Kasikorn Bank, Bangkok Bank, and several others. I’ve even tried different branches in less touristy areas, but no one is willing to open a bank account for me.

This makes it very difficult to pay rent and utility bills every month. I would greatly appreciate any advice or leads that could help.

Thank you in advance!

I had a retirement visa a couple of years ago, but as I spent more time in Europe it expired. I kept the 800k in my account here though. I want to change my present tourist visa to a Non-Immi, then retirement. As per the last 2-3 times I got a retirement visa I got the statement from the bank confirming I have the 800k in my account. However, the woman at the reception in immigration is saying I have to send the 800k again, and I can't get my head around what she means. Can someone explain, because I see no reference to this on the form telling us what documents are required.

Can I renew my non immigration O visa 2 months before it expires?

Can the 800.000 thb for the renewal be in a term deposit account in a Thai bank?

Thanking you.
