I arrived in Thailand in August with a 90 day non O visa,made a visit to Bangkok bank to enquire about opening a account,the lady showed me a photo copy of exactly what was needed,The usual passport phone number,tm30 from the condo I am in. Agents were asking ridiculous prices to do this.I took paperwork to immigration lodged all.back in afternoon to collect everything, I think it was 300 baht.back to bank,signed many papers,asked to put in 400 baht debit card and passbook issued job done for 700 baht.too easy

That might well be but what you're not taking into consideration is the Thais change the rules often I'm sure that was the case when you applied for your bank account it doesn't necessarily mean the rules are the same today. I can guarantee you 100% you cannot open a toy bank account how you did it back then whether it was a week ago or several months ago

Hi Peter, so I opened a Bangkok bank account earlier in the year when I was here for 1 month. So first, I had to get my passport certified by the British embassy in Thailand. You have to book an appointment, and it costs 1000 bahts to get it certified. Then, I had to furnish the address of the residence, which I gave my Thai girlfriend's address . So I took my passport and certified certificate, and I took my Thai girlfriend's photocopy of her Thai I D card .with all that, they gave her a phone call asking her if I was her boyfriend and if I lived at that address. Once that is sorted out, it was plane sailing after that.

I have experience getting a Residence Certificate in Jomtien immigration. It's a very easy procedure and usually takes no more than a few hours to get the certificate. Cost 300 baht. In my experience they asked that 30 days were left on your visa so I've always done it myself with a tourist visa for 60 days and never had a problem. The certificate of residence is designed for people who are not permanent residents in the country it is only designed to prove that you are living at your residence and it only lasts for 30 days once it has been issued. You need to get one if you want to apply for a driving license or open a bank account or buy or sell a car or bike and probably many other things too! Things you will need to get one. 1. Your passport. 2. Copy of your tenancy agreement possibly a signed copy of your landlords ID card. 3. sometimes Your tm30. 4. your TM6 Departure Card. In Jomtien immigration just go to the help desk just inside the door and they will tell you what you need and process it for you and ask you to return in a few hours to collect it. If I can do it you definitely can😉 its way easier then getting a visa extension and no queuing!

Today I was rejected from three Bangkok Bank branches in Chiang Mai who all said it was impossible since Bank of Thailand updated the policy in early 2023. I suspect they were bullshitting, they did also say their internal system wouldn't allow it. Perhaps another branch would be more helpful, I can't say. I called Thai Legal Protection, they took my name and number, promised to call me back in 30 minutes, and then never got back to me. I'll try branch hunting tomorrow again.

I tried at Krungthai Bank earlier this year, and even though I had a monthly apartment rental agreement, they wouldn't even give me an appointment to discuss it with an agent. They said a monthly agreement doesn't qualify (even though it was a valid lease with my name). That was the end of the discussion. I've been told that Bangkok Bank is much more lenient. Also, these services which get you a residence certificate are sometimes providing fake (fraud) documents, and other times they are doing something like giving you a 12 month lease for about 1 sq ft. So it's maybe technically legal, but it's not legit. And that will be your mailing address, so your bank or other postal mail is going to go to that bogus address. Probably whoever arranges it is receiving a lot of peoples' mail :).
