For UK Expats. Today I received a message from Halifax bank informing me my credit card account will be closed within 65 days. This comes right out of the blue. Just a heads up for Halifax/Lloyds TSB/Royal Bank of Scotland customers that you might be getting a message in the near future...

***Update. Just called Halifax and have been told a review has flagged you are not a UK resident so do not qualify for a credit card. Shame they told me 4 years ago it was fine and have happily updated my address to a Thai one 3 times, used my Thai number for their app and sent new credit cards to my Thai address 🤣

I'm looking for an agent to help me open a Thai Bank Account in Hua Hin please.

Can US Citizens open a bank account in Thailand without long term visa ? Non-resident. And which bank would you guys recommend if I can do so?

Can I open an account online with the bank of Bangkok and use it for my visa requirement?

Can you open a Thai bank account on a visa exempt?

I have a HSBC account in the UK from which I transfer my monthly min 65k Baht for my retirement extension. I’m seriously thinking of relocating permanent to Thailand in the next year or so. If I become a non UK resident, can I still hold my UK account. I would like to keep the account as my pensions are paid directly into this. Anyone have experience of this situation.
