Speaking of Bank accounts does my account in Bangkok Bank in New York count as a thai bank?

When using monthly deposits, must the money be sent directly to the Thai bank from the source (example: Social Security or rental income) to prove that it's income, or could I simply send monthly amounts from my US bank account?

Best agent in Pattaya for help to open a bankaccount ?

I would like to find the branch of bank which can accept DTV visa to open bank account in Bangkok. Can you guys give the advice please. Thank you

Which agent can help open a bank account with the DTV in Bangkok? I could also go to Pattaya if it's easier to do it there, but for now prefer Bangkok, since I'm currently here.

If you go to a thai bank with euros,then change to baht in the bank and credit it to your account would that be recognised as money coming from overseas?

I already have an account with krunsgri

I need to get a new bank card but im now back in Thailand on DTV visa

Do you think if I go into branch to get a new bank card….they could limit try and cancel my account or even ask me to take out insurance?

If anyone finds a bank account agent within Chiang Mai, please let me know

Everything else: Where is the post from Malcolm Dolly Dale about expats receiving Mail from Kasikorn Bank with request for filling out forms for selfdeclaration etc. all for tax transparency 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had questions they were answered and now it says post doesn‘t exist anymore 🙁.

We're now seeing a lot of people with DTV cannot open bank accounts. But many people don't know what's happening with thai banks.

Thailand banking has already joined CRS in 2023. CRS means common reporting system. That means banks here will need to report individuals to other countries banks and tax authorities. It's a thing which HNWIs don't like because of their privacy concerns.

A Thai elite visa is also a kind of glorified tourist visa. DTV visa is also a tourist visa (banks here always say that). However, our DTV holders cannot open. But from the banks side, they have to do a lot of paperwork. That's why they don't like us, dtv holders.

Although they already joined the CRS, they didn't clean up the mess first which is agents. Yes tourists can still open any bank accounts with the help of agents. So, think about yourself, money laundering cases etc. i won't explain further here.
