How easy and fast open bank account in Thai Bank in Pattaya

If you have come to Thailand for 2–3 weeks, cash and your bank card will be enough for making payments. However, if your stay in Thailand is longer than a month, you may come across situations when you need a bank account in a Thai bank.

Why might you need to have a Thai bank account?

No commission fee when withdrawing money from ATM

All the Thai ATM's charge a commission fee of 200-250 THB for a transaction regardless the withdrawn sum. You should also remember about the exchange rate difference and commission fee of your bank.

Safety

If you own a big sum of money, it is necessary to think about safety. Keeping money in your hotel's safe can be dangerous. The only possible way to keep money safely is to put it on your bank account.

Obtain Non-immigrant visa

For obtaining some types of visas which allow you to work in Thailand or stay in the country for a long period of time, you need a bank statement from the Thai bank.

Account currency

The account is opened in Thai baht. In the future, it will be possible to open an additional account to the main one in foreign currency (dollars / euros), however, when depositing or withdrawing funds, there will always be a conversion to Thai baht.

Procedure for opening an account in a Thai bank

Each bank has its own requirements for opening a bank account for foreigners (you can learn about them at the bank website or office). The main requirements are having a visa for the period of no less than 30 days (for Bangkok Bank), and documents confirming your place of residence in Thailand. If you are planning to open a bank account by yourselves, you have to go to the Immigration Service and get a residentship certificate which will state the purpose of its issue. You will also have to get a rental agreement from your landlord. The bank will ask you to explain the reason for opening a bank account, to provide the documents and to fill in the papers.
