Getting a IBAN bank account

[bubblegum]

Anybody know if it possible to get a bank account with an Iban number online from Thailand?

[thaitero]

no

IBAN's are for use in Europe, so you want a European bank account, right?

 

I don't know anywhere that lets you open a bank account solely online, perhaps if you were to try a European forum that might help!

Maybe this helps (not a Thai Bank as Thai banks don’t use IBAN

edit: you could also look at Wise, they will give you a Bank account with IBAN

I use KBank, so transfer (UK or Aus) using their HeadOffice Swift code. Quoting my account number, funds clear in my account within 5 or 6 working days.

I opened a bank-account at N26 - a German-based Internet bank - from Thailand. 

Only needed my Belgian passport to do so.  Don't recall whether they wanted me to provide my address when doing the application on-line, but if so I would have given my official home address in Belgium (while I only visit my home-country for annual holidays, and am in Thailand rest of the time).

If you apply for a Wise account (from Thailand), you can be issued separate IBAN codes for both EUR and GBP.

Tnx, I am trying out wise.

No. You will have to physically visit a bank branch with your original passport if you want to open a bank account.
