If I were a guessing man I would say that this is simply a mistake in translation to English. They probably meant to imply that anyone with an Immigrant or Non-Immigrant O-A type visa would qualify.jackspratt wrote:kop, this would seem to count the vast majority of us out:

Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.

I remember reading on the BKK Bank website that they charge the customer 1% to keep his money in the account. Seems that there were also fees for withdrawal, but better consult the website.kopkei wrote:yes i know jack , i was looking into this and at scb they have same as kasikorn , bangkok bank however not ..

How long did you have to wait for your number to be called before getting the negative response? That branch MUST be the worst of any bank I have dealt with - ANYWHERE!jackspratt wrote: The Ban Dung branch was uninterested when I asked a few weeks ago.
That's why I opened my account in Udon back in the days where we had no choice. Other than the Government bank it was the only one in town with the only ATM (one) that rarely worked. They were unfriendly toward Farang then and still are.
