The original query came from a client residing in Thailand on a Non O-A visa. He was unsure about the requirements for opening a local bank account, specifically whether he needed a residence certificate and if this certificate could only be obtained after his first 90-day report.
At Baan Smile, we clarified that the necessity of a residence certificate for opening a bank account can vary depending on the bank's policies. Some banks may open an account with just the visa and proof of lease, while others might require a residence certificate or even a work permit. Some banks may not require anything at all. For instance, Krungsri Bank in Bangkok is known for not requiring any residency proof.
Regarding the client's second question on obtaining the residence certificate, it was explained that in Bangkok, at least one 90-day report must have been filed to get a certificate of residence. This implies that the first 90-day report would be due 89 days from the date the client entered the country. However, there is an allowance to file this report two weeks early, meaning that he can file the 90-day report after being in the country for 75 days.
Immediately after filing the 90-day report at Chaengwattana's Section A, he can proceed to Section B to apply for a residence certificate. The cost is 200 baht, and the certificate will be mailed within five days via Thai Post EMS.
At Baan Smile, we are committed to providing tailored solutions for each client's unique needs. In this case, we were able to guide him through the process of opening a Thai bank account and obtaining a residence certificate. Our extensive knowledge and experience in dealing with visa issues, travel arrangements, and relocation needs in Thailand make us an ideal choice for anyone planning to visit, retire, or live in Thailand.
"I’m grateful for your company holding my hand and literally walking me through the entire process. I wouldn’t have been able to get this done as quickly and efficiently without your assistance. Thank you!!"
"I could not be any happier with Numfhon and the team at Thai Kru. Once I meet with them I knew they were the right choice. They told me the steps needed to be done to get my retirement visa, told me the price, no hidden fees. They helped me get everything I needed, they did all the paperwork, took me everywhere I needed to go, set up apps on my phone. Got my Visa in a couple of days, could not have been easier, money well spent. I consider Numfhon and the team my two good friends."
"I just want to share with others whom are considering using them, that Thai Kru is an excellent service. They helped me with my STV visa. They helped me every step of the way. This was during a time where it was quite complex getting any visa in Thailand. During the application process, they were excellent especially regarding answering emails quickly and clearly. If there were any issues regarding the requirements I provided, they would inform me and help correct the issue. They had what seemed to be a perfectionist approach. It was very comforting. Everything went really well and it was hassle free. I also had them help me with my subsequent 90 day extension/report. That also went very well and hassle free. There’s no way I could have managed doing all of these processes on my own this smoothly. I’m very grateful and I continue to use there service till this day for my visa purposes in Thailand. I highly recommend them."
