Can anyone confirm please that transfers from UK to Kasikorn bank the Thai bank doesn't charge fee?

Thx.

Did anyone open a bank account with kasikorn on dtv? Any special requirements?

Agent that can open a bank account for me? I have the DTV visa and I live in Koh Phangan. 🙏

Everything else: Where is the post from Malcolm Dolly Dale about expats receiving Mail from Kasikorn Bank with request for filling out forms for selfdeclaration etc. all for tax transparency 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had questions they were answered and now it says post doesn‘t exist anymore 🙁.

*Update*

I eventually managed to open an account with Bangkok Bank. What I had was correct and the only additional thing required was a certificate of residency which I got today from immigration. One other thing you really should get is your own Thai mobile number to use the banking app and get alerts about your account which I also got today. I did have to point out my visa was an e-visa but the lady behind the desk listened and understood unlike in the other branch last week. Looks like I’m here for at least a year yay 🥳

Please could someone who is knowledgeable help me out? I applied on the Thai embassy in London’s website for a non O retirement visa which was granted and it even says retired on the visa print off which I received from the embassy via email. I have just been to the Bank of Bangkok to open a bank account so I can transfer the 800,000 baht to start the two month process off in order to be granted a year’s extension but the lady in the bank is telling me that I only have a tourist visa. I’m confused as there was nothing else I could apply for on the embassy website so now I’m worried that I won’t find a way around it. Thanks in advance for any help. I have heard that Bangkok bank can be difficult to open an account with so if there is another bank that is more leanient I would try there. I’m going to call immigration and see if they can help but I get the worrying feeling that I’m back to the start again of going to be a forever tourist which ideally I don’t want to be as I wish to buy a vehicle and have the full benefits a retirement visa offers.

Any recommendation for an AGENT to open a Kasikorn bank account in BKK on DTV visa?

Anybody managed to get a bank account with DTV in Bangkok?

Visiting 10 branches, it sounds like they don't know what it is so got denied.

If you did, please share bank/branch. If you used an agent, please share contact details and fees involved.

Whick bank will give you an account so you can transfer

Money from abroad for O visa? SCB no. Kasakorn. No.

Any suggestions for opening bank account in Thailand? Which banks are popular among foreigners?

Further to my post 3 days ago referring to the maximum GBP, I could transfer from the UK to Kasikorn Thailand.

I e mailed Kasikorn, and they replied stating that they do not normally have a maximum.

Adding it depends on the sender's bank, maximum for transfers.
