heldrida said:This comes up fairly regularly. Have a look at the thread linked below: try a HSBC expat account and/or HSBC and Standard Chartered in Singapore. Otherwise, as suggested above, an account in the Channel Islands.https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/budgeting-bank-accounts
Edit: In your thread on Reddit you say you have a 25+ year old account in Portugal - is this registered at your parents' address? You might also have a problem with this one if you're too honest.I’ll talk to my legal advisor in Thailand and see if possible to open a bank account on a Dtv visa. That’d be the easiest solution
There are mixed reports regarding opening a bank account while on a DTV. You may have to pay an agent or obtain a Certificate of Residence from immigration.
