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 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."
"The team at Baan smile were so professional the customer service was excellent. I first called to get help with extending my tourist visa. They were so honest on the phone they advised me if I wanted I could do extension myself and would only be 1,900 baht. I appreciated the honesty and advised that I prefer a company that has experience and would relieve my headache trying to figure on my own. The team took over and completed all necessary paperwork and got all my information from me that was needed. They scheduled a day to meet at Immigration and I was met by them. They walked me through process and it was so simple. I am happy to have met the team at BAAN SMILE. I will be calling them for all my needs and services in Thailand."
