I am a dtv visa holder and plan to live in thailand for 179 days a year. What is the best way or bank in th uk to use while in thailand. I would like to use the banks out there who have a foreign transaction counter to get money using a uk card but wondered which one is the best?
Now might be a good time to convert USD to Thai baht if you have been waiting. The Baht has had a strong run against the USD since April 2025 and the USDTHB bottomed out around 31.6 two weeks ago.
USDTHB has had a strong rally up to 32.25 on 9/25 and faces a range of resistance from 32.25 to 32.50 with the next major resistance coming up about 33.50.
If you have a retirement visa and 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account and decide to leave Thailand permanently, can I easily transfer that 800,000 baht back to my bank account in Belgium? I've heard it's not easy. Does anyone have experience with this?
I have a question regarding the financial proof requirement of 500,000 THB. I’m applying through the Thai Embassy in Rome, and on their website it states: “12,500 EUR (500,000 THB)”.
I’m a bit confused, since the two amounts are not exactly equivalent, especially with the current exchange rate, where 500,000 THB is more than 13,000 EUR.
Should I follow the amount in Thai Baht or is the 12,500 euros equivalent sufficient?
The reason I ask is because in some months my account balance was slightly above 12,500 EUR, but not always over the full 500,000 THB equivalent — just around the threshold.
