I'm on a DTV visa, I have a KTB bank account and yesterday I got this message from the bank. ANYONE ELSE?

Earlier in the year foreign clients of Kasikorn Bank received communication about Commonn Reporting Standard (CRS) and FATCA (for US citizens). There was a need to complete and submit forms.

Now Bangkok Bank has started the communication and it is predicted all foreign account holders of accounts in all banks will have to complete the forms.

The main question for DTV holders on the form is "Country of Residence" and "TIN" or if no TIN specific reason. This is for Tax Reporting to country of residence which Thailand signed up to.

Please do not shoot the messenger :-) :-)

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 🙁.

Today i talked to an agent to open a Thai bank account but he want my US social security number to open a Thai bank account. Is that the rules to open a bank account?

Dear Expats,

If i buy a condo in Thailand,

does Thailand report back to

my home country that i own a condo here?
