If you’re on a DTV visa and struggling to open a bank account, I’ve just found something that works: DEEPPOCKET.

I signed up yesterday and got approved this afternoon. You can top up at Big C, Tesco Lotus, or even bank branches by following the app instructions. I tested it out by having a friend send me 500 baht via QR scan, and so far, no issues.

It’s only been a day, but it’s already making things easier. At least I don’t have to carry so much cash around anymore. I’ll be using this until the banks decide what to do about DTV visa holders.

I would love to come in with my partner early next year. I earn in USD and am Nigerian. My only way to access my money would be my USD card.

Knowing that with a DTV, I am not entitled to opening a bank account here, what other ways can I send my money into Thailand and/or pay for stuff?

Thank you.

Why is western Union cheaper than wise all of a sudden ? Transfer 20000. Bht wise £472 and western Union £457 (no transfer fee) I’m guessing it’s a one off no transfer fee ?

Im guessing this has been asked a thousand times before

Im going back to Thailand for 3 months

Whats the best way to with no fees or best rate to get my money there i have a thai bank account im in Australia now . We were going to use premium lounge at watthana bkk at Australian embassy VFS In Trendy building

Thank you

Hi, has anyone used Dee Money to make a transfer to the UK; are they legit and reliable? Many thanks if you can help.

Further to my post 3 days ago referring to the maximum GBP, I could transfer from the UK to Kasikorn Thailand.

I e mailed Kasikorn, and they replied stating that they do not normally have a maximum.

Adding it depends on the sender's bank, maximum for transfers.

This is regarding what is the way to get the lowest cost of transferring from an non-Thai to Thai bank account:

Last night I paid Western Union INR 840,000 which gave me TBH 312,153 (INR 785,101) — that is a difference of INR 54,899 which is a cost of 6.54%.

My question is what method of transferring money into a Thai bank account costs equal to or less than 3%? 6.54% is high, isn’t it? What is the lowest percentage anyone has paid for transferring and what method did you use?

Conversion rate was taken from Google.

Thanks in advance.

What other vehicle besides cash would be excepted at Bangkok Bank? US cashier's check or? I already have an account there and I know about Wise. And what's the maximum I can bring in without declaring is it 10 or 20K US. Thanks

Has anyone had any success transferring money from Kasikorn Bank to Wise? I’m looking online and it looks like you can do it, but the instructions are confusing.

Hi all.

I was wondering how can I send money out of Thailand to example Singapore?

Does the banks do FAST?

TIA
