i had a tourist visa and opened a Bangkok bank account in 1 day october 2022. 1st i went to USA embassy ( had made appointment online) got notarized/certified copy of my passport for $50. Then i went into a specific branch of bangkok bank- the tourist friendly branch at Siam mall and opened account. i returned to USA and i maintain the account by sending $20 per month to my account. i will retire next year to thailand

I just renewed my driving license in Chiang Rai, it only cost 350 baht. As for opening a bank account, my wife helps many people to do that, tourist visas included, and it takes no more than 2 hours not 21-30 days.

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Your right but you must have 24 days left on your tourist visa here in Pattaya to open bank account

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

See the livestream video I madeSaturday with our immigration agent.

[@AllAboutLifeInThailand]

@@CoopersThaiAdventurethat's ridiculous. Coincidently, immigration has about the same amount of time requirement to convert a tourist visa to a 90 day non-o.

You’re welcome Ben. And thank you for watching brother 👍❤️👍

Informative as always. Interesting bit about being able to open a bank account on a tourist visa. That might be something people will seriously look into while over there. Thanks Cooper & Darlen.

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Thx Phil. It’s a learning experience for us too 👍

Greetings from Brazil brother! TKS for sharing keep it UP bro!

Dry welcome and thank you for watching Ezequiel from Brazil. ❤️

I used to do emissions tests during my time at Toyota. The idea of "emissions testing" in Thailand makes me laugh because of all of the straight piped diesels I saw out there rolling coal down Beach Road and Sukhumvit earlier this year. Lot of palms getting greased. It pays to know a guy🤣🤣 Besides that, I might be a neighbor of yours out there at the Dusit next month, Coop! It's between there and Amazon. These videos helped my decision

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Great. Hope we can meet up. See you soon brother 👍

[@Joe-ff1oh]

Thank you coopers for your help and hopefully as soon as I get my passport I’ll be in Thailand and definitely invite you to a good restaurant 👍🏽🇺🇸🙏

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

We would love that brother 👍❤️👍

[@UzziyahMCohen]

Excellent video! Tell more about using a US dollar bank account… please

[@davidevans474]

Looks nice don’t know about there but in the states they void the warranty when putting lift kit or over sized tires . Sure looks nice 😊

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Not here David. ❤️

[@benguenther1162]

Hey Cooper, I thought you were going to talk about opening a bank account on a tourist visa. Thanks anyway.

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

We did Ben. I spoke with the agent from TicTok services and she said they can do it for you. Just be aware it takes about 28 days. So. Go see them no later than the day after you arrive if your planning a 30 day trip here. 👍❤️👍

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Also Ben we will be having a livestream with a agent so you can ask them immigration questions directly. Hope you can join us for that 👍❤️👍

[@RonMan25]

Do you have a video or can I ask why your are opening a foreign currency account at the bank (US dollar account)? Thanks

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

So I can declare my earnings from KZbin and pay taxes.

[@jerryandjennifer589]

First and foremost Thank You for your very helpful videos. This is probably an out of the ordinary question, hence I am fielding it to you. I plan to bring my dog with me early next year. Does the Visa Agency you have reported on or any other agencies you know of provide service to expedite or streamline the Pet import documentation required to bring a dog into Thailand? Thanks for your help.

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Good question JerryandJennifer. The short answer is I don’t know. But I will try and find out for you. You also might want to join our fb page as we have many expats that might know that answer. You will find the link to join in our latest video

[@passportbro7]

hey Cooper , sounds a bit pricey 5000baht just to open a bank account

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Agent work magic here brother. Some are cheaper. 👍

[@미지근한세라]

Can I open a bank account without TM30 or residency certificate ? I only have Non immigrant O visa. I have not rented condo yet so no rental agreement. If I use this lady agent can I open the bank account only with my Non immigrant O visa ? Thank you so much

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Yes a agent can do it all for you 👍❤️👍

[@eddiemoney61]

I give you a tip my brother don't bet on Mary may on the 5th she may and may not come in my brother.

[@rogermoar3983]

I said you can and I did about the bank account

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Your absolutely correct and it was you that made me want to explore other agents as I had 2 that said they can not do it on a tourist visa anymore. So thank you very much Roger. I believe in you and worked hard to find a agent that could 👍😀👍

[@rogermoar3983]

@@CoopersThaiAdventure a lot of agent's make it sound harder to get so they can claim higher fees I did mine by myself on day one

[@nuts2559]

do you need proof of address in Thailand for obtaining a Thai driver licence using a tourist visa?

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Yes you need TM 30 for proof of address

[@simplyfilipino6408]

Good evening Coop. Once I open a Thai bank account, can I direct deposit my disability check from the US to Thai bank account? Thanks.

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Yes brother. I did mine too. You will need a bankers letter on headed paper with your account information and your disability provider name and address on the letter. It took about 1 month for the disability department to change my bank details in their system and make payment’s to Thailand bank. Hope that helps. 👍

[@simplyfilipino6408]

@@CoopersThaiAdventure thank you.

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Your very welcome brother

[@barrydwyer2039]

Just 2 quick questions Coop, When you deposit 800,000b in a bank account for your retirement visa does that earn interest if it remains untouched? If so whats the interest rate? Regards

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

Yes but it’s not too good my bank told me it’s about 1% however there are many saving options available if you want to leave it untouched for many years with much better interest rate Barry 👍

[@barrydwyer2039]

@@CoopersThaiAdventure My impreession Coop was that you need the 800.000b maintained in your bank account to ensure your retirement status is not disrupted or have 65,000 pm deposited into your thai bank account.

[@TravellingMan20]

An interesting and useful info video, thanks Cooper and Darlen. That’s a nice chunky set of tyres for the truck, I’m sure they will work well with what you two want to do. You’re making me envious and itching to get back there soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@CoopersThaiAdventure]

@@barrydwyer2039 there are many options Barry. You can also do half that ie 400k savings and 32.5k baht income per month. And there are plenty of agents here that you don’t need to have any money in a Thai bank and they will deposit it for you for a fee. As there is a loophole that allows that. I’m only speaking of Pattaya area. Other areas may have stricter rules.
