bubblegum Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It seems I cannot open an account without my wife signing a guaranty for me !! Laughable. What if I was single? No way to open a bank account? I even showed them my accounts -with the same banks- from Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry Meltham Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 just do it the Thai way no problem I would think as married the account will be 100% in your name was this SCB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puchooay Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Kasikorn usually no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) What bank? What is you status of stay? (one year extension? Non-O visa entry? Tourist visa?) And it's only about signing, not a joint account (which is useless for immigration office)? http://www.bangkokbank.com/BangkokBankThai/Documents/Site Documents/Other/ExpatBooklet_Jan2017.pdf Edited February 14, 2018 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just go to another bank, or is there only one in Prasat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegum Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Both Kasikorn and Siam. I have accounts with them in Phuket for the last 10 years ! I have no problems with my wife but I feel discriminated. My wife guaranty for me???? How about the other way round. And yes do it the Thai way and accept everything they throw at you... well I'm getting tired of this BS. Have a house, no finance; have a car, no finance, just want a bank account to get my money in the place I live. For now I stay with my Phuket accounts, they are happy with my money in their bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife did it for me to open an account here in Ubon at Bangkok Bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
