Has anyone managed to get there Bangkok bank account closed down and money refunded without having to go back to the bank that you originally set it up with? If yes can you please share your experience. Would rather not have to fly back to the original branch and waste time and money if it can be helped

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 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.
