Whatever you do for a non-no retirement visa do not use Bangkok Bank. They are the worst. They will tell you one thing at one branch and tell you something at another branch. All other banks will give you a letter that you deposit the money and not lock your money up for four months.

I am heading back to US and Returning in November. I plan on bringing the maximum cash with me. Will I have to declare 20000 US dollars and will I have to pay taxes on it. I do not stay more than 180days in Thailand. I plan on placing in my safe until there is a better exchange rate. Advice please and thank you. Please no rude comments as I see way too many on here. Greatly appreciated!

Just a FYI regarding banks… After three attempts at two different branches of Krungsri and getting denied each time I was able to easily open an account at Kasikorn. I have a non O visa and what I thought was ALL required documents but Krungsri seemed to insist that I need proof of paying electricity and water bills even though I’ve be renting the same room for 15 months with utilities included. 🤷

Can anyone make sence off this saving policy from Bangkok Bank

I want a saving policy and they have told me this is the best one, bit off a language barrier

They say it's a 14 year policy, you need to pay in 50000 Thai Bhat for 6 years, you do not need to pay any more in

Has anyone took one out and explain please

Normally good at working things out but this has got me

Thanks hope ok to put on this group

Got my Thai marriage visa

400,000 in bank ,can I use that for now as Thai rates so low don't won't to exchange till better rate

I understand that as long as it's back in there 90 days before renewal is that correct

Talking about Thai bank accounts I have a question is it better for me to send money to account and then withdraw it for spending money or should I just keep using my debit card on my American bank account. I wasn’t sure what the transfer fees would be sending it to my Thai bank account. Right now I just have the ฿430,000 for my marriage visa.

The good news is my  ฿430,000 has been in the Thai Bank, K Bank for 2 months. I just had my visa agent fill out all the paperwork so I can get my one month visa. With in the next 2 weeks the police will come to my house to make sure I really live with my wife as a husband. Once that is completed I can get the one year extension. Thanks for all of the information in this group!!!

Hello,

I opened a fixed account with Kasikornbank. What's the question about the months?

It has something to do with the interest, I've heard that.

If I pay my 800,000 for the Visa into a fixed account for 12 months, can I not access it during those 12 months?

The bank employee just said "yes" to every question, regardless of whether I asked "can I or can't I."

I wanted a fixed account, and I didn't want the money to be withdrawn by some criminals via the app. I've heard too much about that with today's technology.

Thank you very much.

Are Thai bank accounts safe to deposit my money into or should I only have the necessary required amount for retirement in there..
