Hi lovely group I have a question:

If I applied 90 days retirement visa in the UK, can I open bank account in Thailand from the UK?

If yes how to do it?

If not can I do it straight away when I arrive to Thailand?

Hello

Can someone explain the difference in a Non O and a Non AO visa please?

It seems a lot less hassle applying for a Non O as don't need police check or insurance.

I'm 57 so hoping the Non O is the way to go.

I don't have a bank account and can see from other posts that it not possible to get on in visa exempt now.

With a Non O visa is it an easy process to open a Bank account to convert it to 12m?

Thanks

Best agent for dtv visa and kasikorn bank

Uk passport cheers.

Can anyone suggest Visa agency in Pattaya/Chonburi for Retirement Visa application? Thank you in advance.

FYI, looks like some kind of squeeze is on.

Question: When opening a bank account in Thailand, what is easiest method to deposit funds initially....Is it a US bank to Thai bank transfer ? or bring cash ? or... ..? What is the simplest and fastest method that people have used ? Thanks !

Hi everyone,

I submitted all my documents to TTB Bank on Monday to open a bank account, and today they called me, saying they can't proceed due to a new policy. They now require a Payroll Account in Thailand, which is impossible for DTV holders since we can't work here.

Has anyone successfully opened a bank account with TTB recently?

Anyone can recommend a good agent to open a bank account in Kasikorn, please? (only Kasikorn, please)

Opening bank accounts is not going to be getting easier anytime soon. This is not aimed at DTV holders but it is about all accounts. Thailand seems to be getting serious about scammers and limiting bank accounts is just one tool.

"To further deter the creation of mule accounts, the BOT will make the account opening process more stringent. Banks will be empowered to refuse account openings if the applicant's circumstances are unclear or to impose transaction limits or even deny account access from the outset."
