@Wyabcp I sent you a pm earlier.

You posted that you have equivalent 800k Thai baht in UK bank account.

Good plan. 

 

Enter Thailand with the Non O..

Then open Thai bank account.

Suggest Kasikorn a good option.

Transfer asap funds from UK account to Thai account.

For 12 month extension you are not required to show funds came from abroad. 

 

Make sure you discuss with your UK bank regarding transfer.

They may require OTP as outlined in my PM. 

Many folk use WISE. 

That's another topic.

When I went into 4 of the main bank branches in BKK and inquired about setting up a bank account, they all said that pre-requisite for setting up a bank account was, UK ID (driving license), Non O visa, and a permanent Thai address.

I will have the UK ID and correct visa, however for the address, will it be possible to use a hotel address if they can provide a TM30 ?

thanks

A UK I'd should be irrelevant..

As I advised in pm.

Tell bank that you are looking for somewhere to lease.

Yes provide TM30.

If unsuccessful ask bank if a "certificate of residence" is satisfactory.

Where will you be located and opening bank account..

I plan to process this all in Bangkok, the banks (4 or 5 of them) I spoke to were all on the same floor in the emquartier mall, phrom phong.

Where would i get a certificate of residence ?
