eden8 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 May i know can we open a bank account on tourist visa? Must go with an ed or retirement visa in order to open a bank account based on what i read from other thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker9000 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 'Nope, not at all - total misinformation. I did it with a tourist visa, and have read you can even do it on a 30d stamp. Ed or retirement visa definitely not needed though. The odd bank branch may of course put up this or that roadblock. (Just go somewhere else on the slim chance that should happen.)

212traders Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Just went to the Chiang Mai K-Bank branch in Airport Central Plaza today trying to open an account. I was told that the law has changed. Foreigners are not allowed to open an account unless he/she has a work permit. Is this true?

There is a crackdown by the government. Was just talking to my broker in BKK today about it. Something about a new U.S. tax law as well as pressure from the E.U. They said soon it will be very difficult for foreigners to open brokerage accounts in Thailand anymore as well as restrictions on who can open bank accounts.
