Maybe everyone already knows this but I’m currently in the “bank situation” with a bangkok bank account I’ve had for ages. But now I Dtv I’m paranoid so today I went in with my drivers license. That was a no go. They needed passport to “check visa”. I then discovered you can withdrawal on the banking app at the ATMs. Again you guys may know this, but you just use the cardless withdrawal and then go to the atm and scan the code from the atm screen onto the app. Idk how long I’ll get by like this but I’ll take it however long it is.

With Kasikorn Bank. I don't have an app. Don't even have a smart phone, yes it is possible to survive without.

All the new regulations with facial scan and maximal withdraw amount, does that affect me at all ?

Normally I withdraw over the counter a couple of times per year and move money to my trading account once a year. Each time around 200.000 per transaction. Don't use ATM. Use the debit card for online shopping. Once a year I get the letter for immigration from the bank.

Does the new rules affect me a any way ?

How can I avoid paying 220bhat ATM fees and 20k withdrawals limit, as a language Ed-visa holder? That’s such a pain in the ass.

Is there any local app that verifies me with my type of visa so i can transfer everything there from my visa card to avoid charges? Or i donno, any other workaround?

EDIT: Please Stop telling me open a bank account. I WAS NOT ABLE even after asking my school agent, yes that's quite stupid that they don't allow a non-tourist person like me open an account in Thailand.

Has anyone used Transferwise debit card to withdraw money from Thai ATM? What are the fees and limits?
