My friend has a Retirement visa. Got her certificate of residency at Udon Thani immigration. Her primary account is BBL in BKK. So she opened a second bank account in Kasikorn bank in UTH as she's staying in UTH long term.

Surprised that Kbank said as a foreigner, her daily withdrawal limit for apps transfer, ATM withdrawal, cardless withdrawal is THB 50,000. QR code payment limit is THB 5,000. They only told her this limit after they set up her account.

Bank said this is the latest rule for Foreigner.

I find this extremely difficult to operate. For any payments that's larger amount than THB 50,000, she needs to go to the bank, stand in line to do a transfer to third party payee.

Kasikorn bank used to have a transaction limit of 5 million per day for K+ app.

I understand that they are cracking down on scammers etc, but a limit of THB 50,000 is ridiculous!

Told my friend to continue to use her BBL instead to make payments to suppliers. (she's building a house).

I hope Kbank's new rule for foreigner doesn't affect older customers prior to the change. 🙏🙏🙏

Hi.. Can you attend school or job training with the pink card? What about starting a small business or open a shop like mobile phone repair? TIA

Have any of you been forced to shut down your bank account in your home country (because you're no longer a resident) and move all your financial assets to a Thai bank?

If so, were you able to invest for retirement with the Thai bank as you normally would back home? And is that only in THB or could you also invest in other hard currencies (USD, EUR, etc.) with a Thai bank?

Could be interesting to some in this group:

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend an agent that could help with getting a Thai drivers license? Ideally, I’d pay someone to help me through the whole process and get it done in a day or two! I’m located in Bangkok- Samut Prakan

Edited to add: sorry let me clarify, my license from the US is expired

Thanks
