Regarding the wise transfers to bkk bank now coded as something other than the previous FTT code. I downloaded the wise invoice pdf which clearly shows it was as n international transfer. However i think is best to start doing wise as a swift transfer to avoid any confusion. Comments?

Change of address at Bangkok Bank. Simple?

You havin' a larf?

At least 20 pieces of paper to sign, some of them copies of already signed copies. Time ticking... finally finished. One day Bangkok bank may fast forward several decades and wake up in a digital era where documents can be scanned. Like they do at Krung Thai, for example.

Smile, say thank you and run, as fast as I can. 🤣😂😅

Does anyone has problem to increase daily limit with TTB Touch? The feature was frozen for almost 3 months. Since 09th September the app can access it but when I want to click save, it sends th message that I need to visit the branch. I just did that, the branch staff called the call centre to tell me that due to a technical problem, this feature can only be available from 16th September onwards.

Why sending people to the branch then?? I'm beginning to think that we're not customers but a burden to those banks. Unbelievable.

Would like to extend my thanks to the group . I am mainly a reader of postings and really not a poster but after reading so much on the banking issue I thought I'll post about my experience today in opening a account with KBank in prachuap khiri khan.

I mainly went there for info on what they required in way of documents to open account. Had a lady greet me when I entered the bank told her I was looking at opening a account. From there she took charge luckily I had the required documents on me.

Passport

Visa non o type

Residential lease

Within a half hour walk out with new account, card and passbook supplied and with online banking setup in there app .

I had my thai girlfriend with me that help in translation which proved to be very helpful

Overall couldn't of asked for better service and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a bank account

Cheers

Hi. My wife and I have deposited 800,000 each into our bank accounts and in 2 months we will apply for our 12 month retirement visa extension. My question is, can we start to deposit more money into our bank account for the next 2 months to use as living expenses as long as we keep the balance at least 800,000 or should we not do anything in the bank account until we have our 12 month extension? Thanks.

I opened a BB account about 2 years ago with the help of an agent. My mobile app was suspended about 2 months ago because the Sim which I purchased at the airport doesn't seem to be registered in my name.

My question is will the bank just block you from using mobile banking app or do they actually just close your account after 30 days? The message on the app just said it was blocked but I don't remember seeing anything about the account being closed if I didn't correct the problem. The challenge is I'm living overseas and won't be back to Thailand for at least another 18 months.

Any guidance would be appreciate - thanks

Hello,

Has anyone with a DTV heard back from Bangkok Bank after having their account frozen last week? They told me that it would be unblocked by Friday or Monday, or that I would at least hear back from them. The only change to my app is that there is no longer that notification of going to the bank to submit documents within 30 days.

Thanks

Hello. I opened my account with Bangkok bank a while back on my tourist visa, today I went onto my banking online, it’s locked and I can’t withdraw from the atm. I go to the bank and they tell me it’s because of my visa (DTV)they can’t open my bank and tell me they will call me later today or tomorrow to see if they can unlock 🤯 has anyone been in this situation?

Just a random question. Why are you guys so interested in opening a thai bank account? It makes what easier?

Hi everyone, I am having issues about my bank statement with Hanoi embassy.

I want to use my "Livret A" saving account (french account) that exceeds the 500k thb required for more than a year. The issue is I did not make any transfer since end of april. So when my bank edit for me my bank statement, there is nothing to show after this date.

Even if my bank stated at the end of the document "We, *bank name*, certify the absence of transactions on savings account No. xxxxxxxx from 30 April 2025 to this day, 06 August 2025.", the thai embassy sent me the mail today required "Updated bank statement from May to present."

I am a bit lost, I do not know what to do, if someone can help me please.

I took a screenshot of my livret A web page, my bank also sent me the listing of all my account with the balance every end of month from end of february until end of july. I also plan to send an eglish+thai letter to explain everything about the different documents and I hope it will be enough.

I also asked my bank to stamp and sign the screenshot of my livret A web page if it can help too.

I really feel my application is legit, I have the money on my account for more than 2 years, it is just I cannot give the template of bank statement they want, because of my bank.

Thank you all for your help

Edit : This is what I sent to my bank, with a cover letter including this "At present, I hold 22,950 EUR in a Livret A savings account with Credit Agricole, which is equivalent to approximately 864,756 THB. The Livret A is a special government-supported savings account available in France, known for its safety, accessibility, offers tax-free interest, and high liquidity. I am able to withdraw and utilize these funds at any time for my daily expenses."
