Hi all

What type of visa do I need to open a Thai bank account?
Can it be done on just the 30 day stamp?

Moved to the business forum

OP, from numerous posts on ThaiVisa many people have opened Thai bank accounts with nothing more than a 15/30 day stamp; while others needed to show a long term visa or work permit.  A lot depends on the branch you try to open an account at and how they feel about farangs.   All you can do is walk into a bank branch and see what happens...if that branch rejects opening an account...walk down the soi and try another branch...repeat until you find a branch that will open an account for you.  Good luck. 

Still the best chances with Kasikorn bank.

Misc. Pattaya branches are known to open accounts painless.

Don't know about Bangkok.

 

Thanks for you're info everyone.
