bellste Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 They say in some banks, that there have been put in restrictions on bank accounts for foreigners. Some say they can not get a Visa Card, some say that is no problem. It seem to depend on what bank or branch you ask. What are the condition for opening a banka account and get Visa Electronic (Debit) or Credit Card for a foreiger in Thailand. Can somebody please tell me? Thanks!

gtm2k Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 i dont think if these guys are biased abt givin out a credit card , its jus tat bank of thailand has tuf rules for plastic money .. splly wen it comes to non-thai's ! the min criteria i know of - 1. a salary pkg of at least 1 Mil THB (most of the banks do this, even if its not a printed requirement !) 2. Account cash flow 3. Recurring balance maintained 4. Spending habits / debt history 6. At least one year in the SAME company (or TWO for some). If you change your job after a year, youre bak to spot zero again ! Finally a pinch of luck ! BUT AEON is biased, they say its only for thai and japanese ! cheers !
