The process of working with clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Popular options include Kasikorn Bank (KBank), Bangkok Bank, and Siam Commercial Bank (SCB). Not all branches work with foreign owners. We choose the right branch in advance and prepare your documents. Banks may require a Thai director, business activity, or specific deposit.
With proper preparation, it usually takes 1–3 business days. If the documents don’t meet the bank’s standards or head office approval is needed, it can take up to a week. We speed up the process through pre-coordination.

Typically:
- Company registration certificate (DBD)
- Articles of Association
- Tax and VAT registration notice (if applicable)
- Passport and visa of directors/shareholders
- Board resolution to open the account
