Hi all, so I was planning to get my Non O visa in the UK and fly out next month to Bangkok, the intention was to get the 1 year extension visa on this trip.... given all these issues getting a bank account, is it now going to be impossible ? I didn't intend on using an agent and I was going to try and sort it myself in one of the bank branches...I would be grateful for any advise, as I'm currently stuck in limbo..
Tim Newton of Tim Newton Today upped intell three hours ago re the bank account drama.
TLDR: He strikes a more positive vibe and in essence it’s “hold tight” as the situation is developing. His sources indicate it might blow over in as little as a few weeks.
He does state that reports are correct that there’s no “goverment decree” ban but that tightened diligence is effectively banning new accounts.
Personally this will deeply affect me. My last several visits (VoA) I’ve been too busy to open an account. I now regret my procrastination. For me it’s about quality of life - easier and cheaper access to transferred funds, ability to use QR, easier online shopping through Thai websites (ever had your non-Thai card rejected?), easier and cheaper transfers to help my girlfriend’s sick buffalo, etc. I’m a very cashless person too.
I plan to move Thailand Chiang Mai. Want apply retirement visa.i want know detailed information ( procedures & cost) for this. We are all over 60. First move to Thai, no bank account now.
Anyone who can give us a reliable guideline for this?
I'm in Thailand with a DTV and planning to be here as long as the DTV allows me (with the included extensions and re-entries) to its maximum. I'm a Digital Nomad, and was wondering if my type of situation has some chance of opening a bank account in Bangkok? Sure I can hop around and ask every branch, but if someone on DTV had success in some specific branches/banks, I'd like to know.
