Hi

How much cost retirement visa without 800k in thai bank ..TIA

Because of the trouble with the missing "international transfer" deklaration at Bangkok Bank I opened a Kasikorn bank account.

At my first higher transfer I noticed there is a daily limit of 50k Baht. Very annoying.

I went to the bank branch and asked them to raise the limit.

They said no possibility (money laundering).

So I applied for a temporary higher daily limit by the bank app.

After two working days, my request was rejected with the explanation that 50k per day is sufficient for my needs. Really?!

Is accepting a temporary increase in the daily limit arbitrary?

Or does anyone know what requirements must be met to receive a temporary limit increase?

Unfortunately, I've already transferred a lot of money to my Kasikorn bank account, and now I can't use it in the way that's standard practice with other banks.

I often have to transfer more than 50k. This year I renovated and expanded my partner's house. And next year I want to build a new house.

In many forums, Kasikorn Bank is praised as the holy grail. For me, it definitely isn't.

I thought I'd use Kasikorn Bank to make quick and easy international transfers, and now I've discovered that I can't withdraw the money in a simple, normal way.

What a mess.

After having received the DTV, should one still keep the funds in that bank account in the event they ask for a reconfirmation anytime later on for whatever reason. Or are chances low they will ask for a proof of these funds again within the 5 year period of the visa? Would be a shame to keep the money sitting idle there for 5 years.

What are the advantages of having a Thai bank account except from QR Payments? I usually pay or withdraw by european credit card or exchange cash and never felt missing a Thai credit card. I dont't get it yet.
