Hello all,

I am arriving in November to live in the khon kaen area on a non o visa

My question is this; we will be staying at my SIL house for the time being, rent free. For the COR I need a tm30. She is in the states. Do I make several copies of the tm30 and have her fill them out while we are here? I have copies of her ID and house book, so I will have her sign those too.

Does anyone know of a falong friendly k bank in Khon Kaen that let's you open an account with a minimum of bs?

Thanks for your time.

I have successfully transferred funds by Wise to my Krungthai account from Australia.Is it possible to send funds back from that a/c back to Australian account via wise?

Is my yellow housebook a proper substitute for a certificate of residence for opening an account with K bank or do I need to get the CofR from immigration beforehand?

A question on changing banks in the middle of an extension.

I currently have Bangkok Bank and have heard of several troubles with them so I was thinking of opening an account with SCB which has a local branch where I have to go 50km for Bangkok Bank since they closed the local branch, same with K bank.

I have several months so the funds would be seasoned for 90 days at the new bank but then I wouldn't have a year's history with that bank for when I go to do the renewal. Will that be a problem or can I get a report from Bangkok Bank showing 9 months then 3 months at the new bank? I do plan to keep both active with more than ฿800,000 each for now until extension renewal time in case of an issue with one or the other.

Went to open a new account with K bank today Maha Sarakham they told me I have to go to either Bangkok or Chonburi to open new accounts it’s crazy

I have account in K Bank. I tried to increase the transfer limit from 50k TB on the bank app.But would not let me. I called to KBank today to ask them to increase it. Was told 50,000tb is maximum transfer for all foreigners. Anyone else have this problem. I don't have same issue with Bangkok bank.

Opened K Bank account yesterday morning. Locked out of Big Bank this morning. Sim card not matching my name? 3 years no problems. Any ideas or advise.

Just a bit of advice.

My bank card expires soon went to K Bank to renew today.

No she said you have a new passport. She needed my old passport as numbers are different to what you opened the account with. Go job I kept old passport. The banks aren't up to date with new uk passport. After further hour she finally clicked on UK passport she was trying to enter GBR ,in the end got it done ,keep your old passport for this.
