BANK ACCOUNT IN PATTAYA
How to Open Thai Bank Account in Pattaya
Opening a Thai bank account offers several benefits but foreigners often find themselves having a difficult time opening one or are unsure of what they need to be eligible for an account. We’ve provided the required documents to open a Thai bank account and a list of banks that are the easiest to open an account with minimal documentation.
Thailand has about half a dozen major banking companies that you could choose to open an account with. Some banks are not going to let you open an account if you’re here on a tourist visa. They may require you to have a non-immigrant visa and a Thai work permit before you can open an account.
If you have come to work in Pattaya, then it makes the most sense to wait until your work permit is issued before attempting to open a account.
The Benefits of Open a Thai Bank Account
