Which bank/s in Thailand would you recommend? I’m also open to using overseas banks like UOB and also privilege banking.

I know many people have had their Bangkok Bank account frozen. I was just curious if anyone has used UOB? I have both a Bangkok Bank and a UOB account so far no problems with either.

The UOB account is a legacy Citibank account, I thought maybe people having problems with BB could try UOB, they seem ok with branches and ATM everywhere.

Information only

which bank do you recommend to open an account so i can arrange my retirement visa? Apparently the banks don't want to open an account for foreigners at the moment?

I currently reside in the US and I finally secured health insurance to meet the visa requirements.

I know this sounds like an idiotic question but I’m going to ask anyway. What is the easiest way to wire funds directly to the insurance company’s United Overseas Bank (UOB) account?

I have attempted to use Western Union, Wise, and even looked into international wires on my credit union website with no success.

Wise doesn’t list UOB. Western Union errors out citing the need for a BIC/Swift code. And I didn’t see the option to wire funds internationally for any of my 4 credit unions. Its late so Im sure I am overlooking something.

Any suggestions? TIA

I'm loosing the will to live with so many ropes to jump over to get a visa. You need a visa to get the bank account, need a bank account to get a visa 😭 I got a rental agreement, I got a letter from immigration, I got my son a year's visa (he's 5) and still cannot even get them to consider opening me an account, and I take my Thai friend with me 😐
