Thailand CRS UPDATE (Sep 2023)

I've never visited Camboida, or Laos, been to Vietnam a few times, I'd imagine it can be difficult to open accounts directly in or ven remotely.

VietcomBank will open you an acc on the spot, one in VND and one in USD, passport only.
I did it in Nha Trang.

@churumbelo Can you recommend a branch in BKK to open an account on a tourist visa? I found an agency which helps to open a bank account here, but they basically want my firstborn in exchange.

333 Silom Road, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand

That's the Bangkok Bank Head Office. I only needed my lease contract and a certified copy of my passport by my embassy.

Also, at the oficce in Siam Paragon mall, a friend opened the account just with the passport buying some insurance for like 4-5k.

This was my experience a few months ago and one year ago. I do not know if they have changed the requirements since then.

2018 but I know people who did it this year on a tourist visa.
