Hi everyone.

If I transfer money from my uk bank account to my wise account and change the pound sterling to Thai bahts within my wise account, once in Thailand I intend to transfer the 800,000 bahts from my wise account into my new Thai bank account, would that satisfy the rule which says your money should have come from outside Thailand?

Thank you for any advice. 🙏

Which bank/s in Thailand would you recommend? I’m also open to using overseas banks like UOB and also privilege banking.

Hi, have just arrived in Thailand, I have non o visa from London 800k in kasikorn bank been sitting 7 months, my bank branch is in pattaya, but I will be applying for 12 months extension in nongkhai immigration, will kasikorn in nongkhai be helpful and give me bank statement I need for visa tia

Got a bank account today with Kasikorn bank with just passport, non o visa and original Thai wedding certificate, took a while but got debit card, bank book and app 🙏

I went to Kasokornthai bank branch in Central Island Mall today to get information on opening an account and they are starting they need a lease for one year and currently I am in a Airbnb for 5 1/2 months.

Does anyone have a branch they used more flexible and or other bank recommendations?

Last option would be a recommendation for an agent to assist in opening an account.

Krungthai Bank

I want to open an account at Krunghthai Bank, because they have a branche in the village I will live from this November on. Anyone experience with Krungthai Bank?

Good morning Thailand. I don't make many posts in this group but as the banking thing is a hot topic at the moment, I'm relaying my experience yesterday at Kasikorn.

To give you some background I've been retired in Thailand for eight years. Opened bank account with Kasikorn at that time on non-O visa, no problem. Thought I'd be smart a year ago and switched to DTV as it seemed a better option for me - I travel a bit, so the regular outs and ins mean I'm always getting a fresh 180 days, plus there's no financial requirements.

My debit card expired last week so I went to my bank branch yesterday to get a new card - no problem EXCEPT I've been put on notice that Kasikorn does not recognise the DTV. They told me my account will be closed in six months unless I switch back to a non-immigrant visa. The manager told me that Kasikorn will not freeze accounts, but will gradually inform customers of the new requirement and will give adequate notice for customers to reassess their situation.

I will today contact the embassy where I obtained the DTV to see if I can now cancel the DTV and apply for a non-O. It's a real pain, but I need the convenience of a Thai bank account. I would imagine a lot of DTV holders don't have the need for a Thai bank account (that pay crap interest anyway) so they will be unaffected.

Whether Kasikorn goes through with their ultimatum I imagine remains to be seen, but I won't take the chance, and they have all least been considerate enough to let me know.

Thanks all - have a great day wherever you are!

Ok. I got it. My non o. Will be in bangkok on the 18th. Not worried about tm30 . Looking for sum advice on a good bank to park my baht in and how I should go about doing it. From US and use BOA. Looking to land smooth.

Wel to me seems the kasikorn problem with app and debit limits has been solved.

You can now request to up limit through the app inwas approved after 2 days and can change my limit now to up to 200,000

Bht per day in both debit and in app
