I already have one account in Krungthai Bank and two in Bangkok Bank. I don’t think it has anything to do with my appearance.🤣

Personally I would say it’s more convenient to apply for the initial 90 days Non O visa before you come and apply for the one year extension of stay in Thailand.

@John ********

This was my personal experience at the Krungthai bank in Buriram, same branch as I opened on visa exemption previously;

Tried to open a second savings account in Krungthai bank last month with a Non O visa. They didn’t allow me even if I’ve been a customer in their bank for 11 years with a debit account and could provide a residence certificate. Requested a yellow book or a work permit as well.

They referred to general written guidelines from their head office and gave me a copy.

If you’re on a 60 days visa exemption and able to open a bank account by yourself only by purchasing an insurance your can cancel after a year I would say it’s worth it. I just got denied in one bank with a Non O and an agent wouldn’t be any cheaper anyway.

@Matthias *****

Yes probably more smooth to just use the multiple part of your visa. As said no know feedbacks on any issues re-entering on a DTV so far.

No feedbacks on people having any difficulties re-entering on a multiple entries DTV to get stamped back in on a 180 days stay.

When you say you won’t go through IO, I guess you mean you don’t like to apply just for an extension at the immigration.

This was in Buriram same branch where I opened my debit account eleven years ago on a visa exemption.

As well stated by several, there’s no limit and the 90 days report will be suspended as it’s only for 90 consecutive days in Thailand.

@John ********

Yes that’s an option, but then you’re not using your Non O-A for more than a two years stay, and I’m not sure I would have use the mandatory health insurance for more than two years either. Probably better to get a regular Non O and fulfill the requirements at once to get a more permanent stay if that’s your intension in the first place.
