How to Register on OKX for Thai Users?
The most direct way for Thai users to register on OKX is to use a Thai phone number (+66) to receive a verification code and complete identity verification using a Thai national ID card or passport. The entire process is conducted on the official website or official app. As long as the network environment is normal, no additional tools are needed. When registering, select Thailand as the country/region, use Thai-issued documents for KYC verification, and after registration, you can link a Thai bank account for THB deposits and withdrawals.
What You Need to Prepare Before Registration
Prerequisites:
Phone number: A mobile number from a Thai operator (AIS, TrueMove, DTAC, etc.) that can receive SMS verification codes.
Email: Recommended international email addresses such as Gmail or Outlook for receiving platform notifications and password recovery.
ID document: Thai national ID card or passport, must be valid. The national ID card is the most recommended and fastest option.
Network environment: OKX's official website and app are directly accessible from a Thai local network without a VPN.
The OKX app supports a Thai language interface, which can be switched during registration and operation to lower the comprehension barrier.
Go to the OKX Website or Download the Official App
What to do: Access the OKX platform through official channels and avoid phishing websites.
How to do it:
Desktop: Enter the official URL www.okx.com in your browser and confirm the domain before proceeding. Do not enter through search engine ad placements.
Mobile: Apple users can search for "OKX" in the App Store (a Thailand region account is required for download); Android users can search for "OKX" in Google Play and download it. The developer for both app stores is displayed as "OKX Technology Company Limited".
When is it considered done: The page loads normally, and you can see the "Sign Up" button in the top right corner or the registration entry on the app's homepage.
Click Sign Up and Enter Your Phone Number
What to do: Enter the registration page, select phone number registration and enter your Thai number.
How to do it:
Click the "Sign Up" button in the upper right corner of the page or on the app's homepage.
Choose the "Phone number" registration method.
Select +66 (Thailand) as the country/region code.
Enter your Thai mobile number and click "Get Verification Code".
Enter the 6-digit SMS verification code received.
When is it considered done: The verification code is successfully verified, and you are taken to the password setting page.
Registration via email is also available, but using a phone number is more convenient for subsequent login and account recovery.
Set Your Login Password
What to do: Set a high-strength password for your account.
How to do it:
Password requirements: 8–20 characters, must include letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and special characters (such as !@#$%).
Do not use easily guessed combinations such as birthdays, parts of your phone number, or sequential digits (e.g., 12345678).
Confirm your entry and submit.
When is it considered done: The system prompts that the password is set successfully, and you proceed to the next step.
Do not reuse the same password as your email or social media. OKX official customer support will never ask for your password in any form.
Select Your Country/Region of Residence
What to do: Select your country of residence from the system prompt.
How to do it:
During the registration process, you will see the option "Which country/region do you live in?"
Select "Thailand - 泰国" from the dropdown list.
Confirm to proceed to the next step.
When is it considered done: The system confirms that services are supported in the selected region and you are directed to the KYC identity verification step.
You must select Thailand at this step, as subsequent identity verification requires the submission of documents issued by the Thai government, and fiat trading pairs and payment methods will also be set up based on this.
Complete Identity Verification (KYC)
What to do: Submit personal identity information to pass platform verification. Without completing KYC, functions such as depositing, trading, and withdrawing cannot be used.
How to do it:
After logging in, the system will automatically guide you to the "Identity Verification" page (you can also find the entry in "Account - Security Center").
Scenario A - Using Thai National ID Card (Most Recommended):
Fill in your name (exactly as it appears on the ID card) and ID card number.
Upload photos of the front and back of the ID card (ensure all four corners are visible, no glare, and the text is clear).
Perform facial recognition (follow the prompts to blink, turn your head, etc.).
Scenario B - Using Passport:
Fill in your name (exactly as it appears on the passport) and passport number.
Upload a photo of the passport personal information page.
Complete facial recognition.
When is it considered done: The system displays "Submitted successfully" and enters the review state. Review is usually completed within minutes to a few hours, but may be extended to 1–2 business days during peak periods. Results are notified via SMS or email.
Common reasons for failure:
Blurry ID photos, glare, or blocked information.
Mismatch between the name/ID number entered and the information on the photo.
Expired ID document.
Risk warning: Using someone else's identity information to register or forging documents will result in permanent account freezing and inability to withdraw funds once discovered by the platform. Please ensure you use your own documents.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Strongly Recommended to Complete Immediately
What to do: Add a second security lock to your account to prevent asset theft in case of password leaks.
How to do it:
After logging in, go to "Account Settings" → "Security Center".
Find "Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)" and it is recommended to use Google Authenticator or Authy.
Scan the QR code with the authenticator app and enter the generated 6-digit dynamic verification code to complete the binding.
Write down the backup recovery key displayed during binding and keep it in a safe place (do not save it in your phone's photo album or in the cloud).
When is it considered done: The security center shows that two-factor authentication is enabled, and dynamic verification codes will be required for subsequent logins, withdrawals, and security setting modifications.
What to Do Next After Registration
Once you confirm that registration is successful and KYC review is passed, you can start operating on the "Assets" page.
Thai users can top up by purchasing USDT through P2P trading or depositing via third-party payment channels that support Thai Baht (THB). After completing KYC, if you need to withdraw Thai Baht, you need to bind your Thai bank account information in your account. For specific available payment methods, refer to the real-time display on the "Buy Crypto" page in the app.
Review waiting time: KYC review usually completes within minutes to a few hours. If you do not receive a result within the expected time, contact OKX official customer service (in-app online support or email) to check the progress.
OKX referral code: 24U2795 (can be entered during registration, but accounts can be used normally without it).
