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

Hello,

I just have a question regarding my bank application from SCB

I am not in the country right now, but I just wanted to check anything on the SCB app and got the information "UNABLE TO PROCEED" while opening the app.

I’m the only one who have this issue?

As information, I made the bank account few years ago on an official way with work permit.

Many thanks and have a good day ✌🏼

Hello all, I have a question about the possible freezing of accounts. If frozen at b800;000 can you still deposit or withdraw any funds over the frozen amount?

I am trying to open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa, what is the friendliest bank office in Chiang Mai to attempt that? I already know it is becoming difficult

With the new changes to bank accounts in Thailand, will that affect people that have existing accounts or just people trying to open new ones ?

FYI, looks like some kind of squeeze is on.

Now this is a single report only so take it as that - a single anecdote. It is not confirmed policy and may be only a single bank manager implementing it at their branch.

In another thread about taxation in another group a guy tried to open a bank account yesterday and was told he needed a TIN (Tax Identification Number).

If this becomes standard bank policy the cat will be truly among the pigeons - especially for those on visas other than DTV.

Could anyone help me please.

Im wanting advice how to open a Thai bank account in readiness to apply for a retirement visa

Any advice of helpful agents in pattaya area would be fantastic

Thanks

Hello Guys,
