  1. JLC will be surprised to see the white limo roll up outside his place, and even more bowled over when the red carpet is rolled out and he is whisked off to his ringside seat of the POTY Crowning ceremony, and everything is comp btw,  including the earplugs ....

    Trans will be even more surprised when JLC appears on stage with his instrument and plays Congratulations whilst singing in his best Cliff Richard voice !!

    Hmmm. I have much recent experience with this.

    There is no Embassy letter or cert. stating you are allowed to open an account.

    You may want to verify they are possibly talking about a cert. of residency. 

     

    Bangkok Bank by far is your best option but you may have been given bad info.

    Normally they require the cert. of residency, and a retirement Visa or work permit.

     

    A tourist Visa from my experience will get you nowhere.

     

    If UOB will do it with what you say, I would rush and go get it tomorrow.

     

    Lots of info in this forum about this topic, but most of it is outdated.  

    Good luck let us know how it works out for you.

    I opened an account with Bangkok Bank on a tourist visa a year ago after visiting 3 previous branches who requested a work permit. You can persevere by visiting more branches BUT i agree with bkk6060 and going by recent posts on TVF i believe its more difficult now if even possible.

     

    I moved province recently and approached my local branch to open an account and transfer my funds from existing Bangkok Bank account, they said they would open me an account if i had a work permit !! , i left it as is.

    They certainly don't make it easy for you !!

     

    I would:

    Try a few more branches and if all are no go hotfoot it back to UOB !

  3. I just told Mrs.Trans that she may not have to go on  the free TVF Silver hat trick holiday as things stand now.......Weeell, l haven't seen her this happy since last Tuesday..:whistling:
