One team, all 6 cities, bilingual

The same team covers every city we operate in, in English and French throughout.

Banking in Thailand Isn't as Simple as It Sounds

Getting banking sorted as a foreigner here can quickly get confusing. Different banks give different answers, some visas are turned away everywhere, and the right solution depends entirely on your situation.

The branch lottery

Two people with the same visa can get opposite answers depending on which branch they walk into. A rejection often means starting over somewhere else.

Refused by most banks

Most major Thai banks refuse several visa categories outright, no matter how complete your documents are.

A visitor visa won't open a Cambodian account

Cambodian banks require a visa valid for at least 6 months, which a short visitor visa doesn't give you.

Choose the Solution That Fits Your Situation

Your visa type and situation determine what's possible. Here's a quick starting point.

The right option depends on your visa type. Not sure which applies to you? Contact us before you decide, we'll point you in the right direction for free.

Thai Bank Account Opening

Getting a Thai bank account isn't just paperwork. Two people with the same visa can get opposite answers depending on the branch, a missing document sends you back to square one, and staff who speak only Thai can turn a simple visit into a frustrating one. We handle the whole process for you.

Who it's for

Non-Immigrant B, O, ED and LTR visa holders, including retirement visas. If you don't fall into one of these categories, opening a Thai bank account won't be possible. Take a look at the two other solutions available to you below.

How it works

Before anything is paid, we confirm your visa and situation actually qualify for a Thai bank account. No unpleasant surprise after payment.

We match you with the bank and branch that fits your profile and your city, among the 6 we cover, not a generic recommendation.

We send you the exact list of documents your bank requires, then check everything you provide to give your application the best possible chances.

Thai banks require your physical presence to open an account. We come with you and handle communication with staff in Thai and English, so nothing gets lost in translation.

Good to know

The bank makes the final decision, not us. If your application is refused, we stay with you and help you find the next step.
Contact us and we'll sort it out together.

Fintech Account Setup (Wise)

Wise is the fastest way to a working multi-currency account. It's the standard solution for anyone who can't open a Thai bank account, and a smart choice even for those who can. A few configuration choices affect how well it works day to day here, including recent changes to ATM withdrawals for Thai-address accounts. We make sure it's set up right the first time.

Cambodia Bank Account

Opening a bank account in Cambodia requires holding a visa valid for at least 6 months. Our trusted partner in Phnom Penh handles both in a single trip: they process your resident visa, then accompany you to the bank to open your account and collect your debit card.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants a physical bank account that also works in Thailand (Cambodian banks are linked to Thailand's QR payment network), but can't open one directly here because of visa restrictions. Also a strong option if you're looking for a USD account.

How it works

Before you pay anything, send us a copy of your passport. Our partner checks your nationality and situation first.

We handle your entry E-Visa ahead of time and tell you exactly what to bring: passport, ID photos, and one simple online form to complete before departure.

  • -Day 1: Arrival and hotel check-in. If you land early enough in the day, we meet you the same day to collect your passport and photos; otherwise, we meet you the next morning.
  • -Day 2: Your resident visa is processed, delivered within 24 hours.
  • -Day 3: Your passport is returned, and you're personally accompanied to open your bank account and receive your debit card the same day.

Free to leave Cambodia the same day or the next, with your account, card, and mobile banking app ready to use.

If the process is declined by Cambodian authorities, you're fully refunded, minus a small non-refundable government E-Visa fee.

Important

This service requires travel and advance planning. Let us know your intended dates 1 to 2 months ahead so we can prepare your file, and plan for a minimum of 3 business days on the ground. Don't book any flights or accommodation until our team confirms your eligibility. Book your flight into Phnom Penh directly, landing elsewhere in Cambodia will add extra time to the process.

Tell us about your situation

Describe your situation below. A member of our team reviews it and gets back to you with the right next steps for your case.

Sending this costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Your Bank Account, Sorted

A Thai bank account if your visa qualifies, Wise for instant multi-currency access, or a Cambodia account when Thai banking isn't an option or you want USD outside the Thai system. Tell us your situation, we'll point you to the right one and handle it with you from start to finish. No branch-hopping, no guesswork.
