बैंकॉक में थाई बैंक खाता खोलना 2017

After थाईलैंड में रहते हैं for well over a 1.5 years, I figured this week I would finally get round to creating a Thai bank account in Bangkok. It wasn’t without its problems but you will be happy to know that setting up a Thai bank account on a tourist visa in 2015 is not that hard.

यदि आप थाईलैंड जाने के बारे में सोच रहे हैं और आपको मदद की ज़रूरत है, तो मेरी वेबसाइट देखें थाई मित्र की वेबसाइट यहाँ है, हो सकता है वह आपकी मदद कर सके।

अद्यतन: as of right now April 2017 it’s very hard to create a bank account in Thailand without a work permit. The info below may be out of date. 

Getting the paperwork before you start

First of all you will need:

  • A valid passport
  • Your apartment contract stating your name and address
  • Drivers license (can be Thai or your one back home)
  • Any other document with your name on (mobile phone or Internet bill etc)
  • At least 1,000 baht
  • Thai person to helps translate (not needed but it would help 1000%)

You won’t need all of the above mentioned to setup a Thai bank account, but some bank branches require more paperwork than others. One even wanted to see documents of my address back in the UK, luckily my drivers license has my full UK address.

Which banks rejected me

Getting rejected is a common thing in my life, be it from job interviews, girls or banking institutions. Altogether I went to 5 banks, I got rejected from 3, they were:

CIMB Thailand – They rejected me because I did not have a hold a work permit. They also said my Thailand tourist visa was going to run out in less than 30 days and my apartment contract was not a 12 month contract.

They seemed sympathetic and I think if my Thai tourist visa was valid for longer with an apartment contract for 12 months, I may have gotten an account here, but I really can’t be sure. The branch I went to was opposite Thong Lo BTS.

Nice and friendly staff, no hotties though. If you’re looking to get out of THB you can learn which are safest Bangkok gold shops to buy gold.
