What other vehicle besides cash would be excepted at Bangkok Bank? US cashier's check or? I already have an account there and I know about Wise. And what's the maximum I can bring in without declaring is it 10 or 20K US. Thanks

Hi! Anybody managed to obtain a bank account with a DTV visa? If yes with witch bank/branch?

How can I pay my first electric bill from the Provinicial Electricity Authority (PEA) from my Bangkok Bank account mobile app. When I scan the barcode or scan\pay icon, I get the error message, "This payee is not found."

Looks like 7-Eleven will be the least complicated option. On their website, the show Bangkok bank but I can't find it in the mobile app.

The only PEA apps I see in the Android store is PEA Privilege and PEA VOLTA.

Update:

So, I changed the address on my google account to Pattaya and was able to get access to the Android Play store. I scanned the PEA SMART+ scan code on the back of the bill to bring up the app and was able to install it. Once in the app, selected "Add location" and entered the info for the condo I am renting. This will be two fields from your bill near the top of the bill: CA/Ref. No.1 and PEA No.

Sorry for no screenshots because the app won't allow it. There is a sample picture when you get to this screen showing the location of these fields and values.

It found my bill and went to pay it with Bangkok Bank and it gave me the error message, " transaction not allowed outside of transaction hours" or something like that!

I will try again tomorrow to see if this can be accomplished for us Bangkok Bank people in Pattaya Jomtien.

It seems Wise is taking longer and longer to transfer "Funds for Long term stay in Thailand". Last month I made my monthly transfer and it had taken a few days.. In the middle of the month I had to make another transfers, they quoted me 1 week. I just made my monthly transfer and again they quoted me one week. I immediately transfer funds for "travel expenses" and its there in a few minutes

Anybody else have this experience?

it is almost impossible to open a bank account with DTV visa in chiang mai. Yesterday a friend tried to open it and visited six different bank branches yesterday but they all answered NO! DTV is not allowed to open because its maximum period of stay upon entry is less than 1 year.😨

Hi guys, has anyone managed to open a bank account with the DTV Visa? If so, which banks accept and or reject? 🤔 #banking #dtv

My wife and I plan to retire in Thailand early next year. I am now sorting out all the details.

What is a good way to actually transfer funds to a bank for meeting the deposit requirements? I assume my current bank would do that, but I think there are pretty steep fees involved. Is that what most people do or is there a better way? I am in the US BTW.

New phone, same Thai SIM, out of Thailand, access to BKB App ?

Hi there..

I am currently visiting familly in Switzerland for next 2 months, and I use my BKB App here with no problems. In my mobile phone bought in Thailand long time ago, I have my Swiss SIM card and my Thai SIM card (activated for international roaming before leaving Thailand, in case).

I would like to buy a new phone here in Switzerland, insert in it my 2 SIM cards (Swiss and Thai) and transfer 100% data from old to new phone. Does somebody know whether I will continue to be able to open and use my BKB App with my new phone here in Switzerland ? I am scared of BKB not "recognising" my new phone (yet still my Thai number SIM in it) and not allowing me to open and use the BKB App while here in Switzerland.

What is your experience or thought ?

Hi, I wonder if a traveller holding TR visa can open a bank account in Thailand? If so, which bank? (I've asked multiple banks but no luck).
