How long does it typically take to go from "Pending Approval" to "Approved" for Thai visas in HCM?

Some bank apps will only authenticate one device.. meaning if you activate it on a new device it will automatically switch off on the old device.. you need to check this with your bank.

why would you want to? Just carry two phones

Its not phone number blocking it but app store region. Chsnge to TH

Do the separate job, and then you’ll get used to it. 😃

Go into the bank they will do it for you

You can download the Krungthai app only in Thailand to any phone. The Thai sim is where they text you the OTP code. They don’t have to be on a same phone.

i had to go into Krungsri branch today to sort mine out, change of number,new phone(old one completely dead) and change of address. all sorted in no time

If one of your phones has 2 sim cards and the phone is also compatabile with both locations . . . .

No 🙄

In Thailand the owner of the SIM card needs to be in the same name as the owner of the Thai Bank account, but if you have a second Mobile you can download the app and use the second Mobile (diffrent name) for Banking too. If you do your banking on a computer, and you transfer money out of the account, the security confirmation QR code does get send to second Mobile too. This is a new regulation and will affect only people who show up in a branch ..... I have used my Thai wifes account and mine on my Mobil (SIM card) for a 10 years until the day I walked into my Kasikorn Bank and they told me to change. (call center scams have enforced strict rules)

👀👀👀👀

To download the app you can change the registered country for your Apple Store. But nonetheless you will need a Thai phone number for Thai banking apps 

I'm having this problem...i was told Krungsthai will not allow the app on more than one phone or location. You'll need to go in the bank with passport, bank book and both phones for them to switch it.

Banks not only use the mobile number but also register/connect to the physical mobile phone; if you change phone you have to return to the bank to setup the mobile banking app

I don,t believe you can have your mobile banking account on 2 ohones at the same time. You must delete one

I have it now on my Swedish number. In Sweden.But I haven´t any account yet on the bank!

I have a UK physical SIM card & a Thai e-SIM,just switch between the two.

I have dual sim I use only one phone home and abroad ! Once you download the app using your thai sim in Thailand you don't need your sim as its Internet banking ! I'm in UK now and can easily view how little she's left me ! Sob 😭 😭 😭 lol

I have a non-Thai sim and a Thai eSIM on one phone. I have my Thai bank app on that phone. I can use the Thai bank app on this phone regardless of which SIM I am using at that moment.

Buy a dual SIM phone.... Problem solved. Incidentally I wrongly thought that I had to have my Thai SIM with associated number to my Kbank account in my phone to use their app in the UK., e.g. to make transfers, but you do not. It seems that you only need it in your phone to make cardless ATM withdrawals in Thailand.

I'm finding it hard to understand what the problem is as all my UK banking apps work on my Thai number except the 2 way verification that needs a british sim

Put and Thai ESIM on your English phone

Have you got a VPN ? that can effect it, if you have try changing to different countries.

get a SCB account, their online banking does not require any phone number or special SIM card. Their onlinebanking App just requires an internet connection to work

Two phones seems a bit much, just use two eSIMs. Also, I would recommend asking the bank directly, they'll likely be able to provide better information than what you'll find on here

I believe you can have the thai bank app on the english phone with the english number, I know someone who has it that way. . just as long as you have a thai number on your bank account. go to the bank and they will tell you how to do it. from what I heard.

I used to have the same problem, but only worse 🙈 It annoyed me also.

I had a uk bank and uk phone. A Spanish bank and a Spanish phone. A Thai bank and a Thai phone. I ended downloading my UK and Spanish apps onto my Thai phone. Closed down my UK and Spanish phone accounts and everything is good 😁 But make sure you change the UK telephone number with your uk bank before you do.

Yes use dual sim phone i have samsung a33 5g just switch sims use your thai sim for mobile data use and disable uk in sim manager you can still receive messages and 2fa codes through both sims

I think the problem is you can’t download Thai apps due to AppStore region. Just go to settings and change it to Thailand, download apps, revert it back after. I do this all the time when travelling to get local apps

Buy a phone that allows 2 sims problem sorted

You can only have 1 phone set up with any Thai Bank app. I have 3 Thai Bank accounts, as soon as i change my phone i had a message appear on my phone to go to my bank in person and set it up for my new phone.

However, I only have 1 phone and once it is set up it will work overseas. Mine works in Australia just fine.

Use one phone with both numbers. Convert one of your sims to eSIM. You need a Thai number to operate a Thai bank

Anything else you want?

I just use my wife's number, no problems at all, comes in handy if I get a bit work and go back to uk

what the OP doesnt tell us: Android or Apple? if android does he have 2 separate google accounts - one linked to the UK and one to thailand. he talks about apps.. therefore apps stores.. the bank apps may be geofenced requiring the correct profile to be active to access the store to get the app.

I have multiple profiles for different countries: I definitely know that i need my thai profile to download K bank and BKK bank apps and my Aus profile to get some of the stuff from Australia. but once on the phone they all work all the time as long as i have internet

Just change your number on the personal details on the banking app. I have the same as you, UK and Thai banks, but I only use my UK number for Whatsapp, all the bank apps have my Thai number....even my UK bank.

The type of sim you have has no bearing on what you can download from the Play store. What does it say when you say install the app?

I have an iphone. Had the thai esim when i set up /or changed to newer phone which the bank needs to send a text to setup thai banking. While in the USA or anywhere except Thailand i dont have the Thai eSIM turned on yet my thai bank apps work perfectly fine to pay bills and keep the gf happy.

If you have SIMs for both Thai and UK numbers, then you should be able to download and use all your banking (both Thai and UK) on both phones. You say you can't download your Thai banking app, but do you actually mean you can't download the app itself, or do you mean you can't use it? If the Thai bank requires you to have a Thai number on the phone to activate it, then just put your Thai SIM card in the UK phone temporarily to get it working.

Why do you have 2 phones? Buy a phone with dual sim and problem is solved. I have my thai and Belgian sim in one phone and works perfect.

I have my UK phone with a Thai SIM. Everything phone automatically works with the Thai SIM inserted. I also have Nord VPN. On my Thailand and UK numbers are on the phone and sim... that's all you need. One UK phone, one Thai sim.Simple 😁

Surely the Bank would be the best place for correct advice.

He drinks a whiskey drink he drinks a vodka drink he drinks a lager drink he drinks a cider drink

Just put your Thai number as a e-sim on English phone then you can put the app and not need 2 phones

if it ain't broke, then don't fix it:

Just leave it the way it is now and keep doing what you're doing now

If it’s the app not available to download it could be down to your setting of region need changing to Thailand then download the apps you need and then can change the region back to UK

I have dual sim and no problem

No, Thai banks will only allow a single Thai number to be associated with your account. I'd suggest you get a dual SIM phone, works fine for me with both UK and Thai SIM cards inserted

No
