Bank card in Thailand

@Barladak Yes, you can get a bank card. From any bank in Thailand. But you will not get a credit card.

And maybe there will be now new sanctions and restrictions against russian people, because of the illegal Invasion of the demokratic and independent Ukraine.

He can not officially get a debit card "from any bank" in Thailand.Where did you get that from? And there's no such thing as a "bank card". Everything depends on the type of visa/extension he's on and the bank.

Go to Kasikorn Bank  in any of the shopping malls and they will usually open an account for you. If one branch says no try another branch . Card will be issued to you on the same day.

@hpmoff : wrong. you can get a credit card (i got one). I had to show the work permit plus the salary statement. debit card you can get as you open an account. i have one from k-bank and one from SCB.

@kschindl you do realize a work permit and earnings statement indicate you are a resident ... did you not read the question ?

@Leeds forever! Because I got three bank cards from three different Thai banks already some years ago. From Kasikorn Bank way back in 2013, Bangkok Bank in 2016 and Bank of Ayutthaya finally in 2018. All issued in Pattaya and Jomtien. I was never asked for a working permit (I have none), only for a paper of residence from my land lord. And in all three banks the staff opened the accounts without any hesitation. That's my story. Of course other people might have other experiences.
