Thinking of cutting out the middle man and just sending the monthly money to my wife. I have a lump sum for visa extension purposes. Anyone know how long a bank account can remain dormant before being closed/locked by the bank?
I have a banking problem and would like to ask if anyone can give me guidance. Today my Krungsri branch in Pranburi told me that from October 1st on foreigners are not allowed to transfer money from their Krungsri FCD (Foreign Currency Deposit, mine is in Euro) account to their Krungsri THB account. They told me to withdraw Baht from Krungsri ATMs with FCD service ( in Pranburi there's only one) and then pay them into my THB account which of course is suboptimal. Anybody knows a way around this? Will other banks still allow FCD to BTH transfers? Any ideas would be sincerely appreciated.
Kplus — Can no longer transfer more than 50k thb per “day” anymore, all I ever used the account was for getting money from Europe, twice a month for many years on average with out issue to pay the wife and bills. This is despite me using a correct simcard and already did facial scan at the bank a while back. Probably gonna take a few days to move funds out gonna switch banks. This is utterly ridiculous. Been with them for 4 years with no issues. Luckily, I have four other Thai banks with no such limits. Only been using K plus because they are usually the fastest for international transfers might keep using them. Hopefully inbound won’t be impacted. I don’t think so, but won’t be using them for storing money or paying bills.
Hi, just wondering if the banks have changed the amount you can transfer from abroad, I was using wise and this message popped up. I never read about a change. I thought the max was 50k apart from the big 3 banks.
Hello there, asking for advice regarding money transfers to the EU (Austria). I have been sending money to my daughter (just small amounts, less than EUR 800 every other month) via Western Union without any problems. Last Thursday they suddenly declined and asked me to fill in a document requiring the birth certificate of my daughter, my pension certificate and what not. I find that a bit too much, especially given the fact that they accept payments into Thailand without much ado. Anybody knows a way around or a better option to send money to the EU? My bank, Krungsri, is asking horrendous fees.
When transferring money into Thailand, when you go to show the transfers for income verification... So things like WISE register differently than wires?
Hi, I am just opening my Thai bank account and wondered if anyone had advice on cheapest way of transferring large sums into the account. I can use Swift from my uk bank and have Wise and Revolut but open to any suggestions to minimise charges. Many thanks for any reply
I see most peoplentalk aboit and recommend 'Wise'. Does anyone have any experience with the german run 'N26'? Just looking for people who know it and find out what they think about it -would you recommend it or not?
