Has anyone stuck outside of Thailand tried getting a replacement debit card from Kasikornbank sent overseas? If so, how did you activate it outside the country?

Ask Thailand · Answer

Getting a replacement debit card from Kasikornbank while outside Thailand appears to be extremely challenging, with most users indicating it is unlikely or impossible. Generally, banks require a personal visit to a branch in Thailand, often necessitating the presentation of a passport. Some users suggested using online banking, but concerns remain that Thai banks may not send cards overseas, especially to non-citizens. A few alternative ideas, such as sending someone to retrieve the card on the individual's behalf, were mentioned but not widely endorsed.

Maybe you can try to see if it would be possible to send someone on your behalf with a letter of attorney empowering the said person to obtain a replacement and then send it to wherever you are.

Although my UK bank is happy to send me a replacement debit card to Thailand there is no way that will happen the other way around with Thai Banks.

Gary ****** · Answer

Impossible! I had the same thing happen to me  April 2020.  I called SCB bank and they froze my acct until I got back in January this year. They said I had to come in person with my passport. They will not send through the mail.
