Hi everyone, what is the best way of transferring the equivalent of 800,000 bahts from my uk bank account for the none O retirement visa.

If you are looking for a way to pull money outside atm or WU

Krungsri bank 200 baht fee off your US Debit and at rate for market. Bring passport quick and easy no ATM fee or foreign atm fee

** Edit just to clarify for the troll of the group Stewart Stuart Cumming a moderator they will only do this if you are wanting to pull over 60000 baht otherwise they will tell you to use ATM.

Sorry I assumed he would have common sense that if you were pulling lower amounts they would tell you to use ATM .. seems I forgot the nature of trolls on the net

I hope this falls I to the everything else category.

I have been in the UK since April and have had no issues with my Bangkok Banking app for the three years I have had the account. Today I tried to open the app and was presented with the message below. I am somewhat surprised because I bought the sim card I use in 2019 and opened my bank account in 2022. I certainly did not use anyone elses name to get either. I have rung the number and spoken to someone about the issue and they say I have to go to my local branch to sort it out. As that is over 6000 miles away I explained it wasnt possible! I also explained that now I am unable to pay my rent or for utilities and other things. He told me he would look into it and would contact me within 5 days by email. I dont hold out much hope. I also need to transfer money back to UK as the cost of living here is horrendous and I cant return to Thailand until October.

Has anyone else had this situation and found a way to get around it from abroad? I am aware that it has happened to others but I thought I was safe as I had both sim and account in my name?

I'm going to be flying to Hanoi soon and applying for a DTV Visa. Most of my bank accounts are Canadian and Singaporean, but I'd like to forgo the Vietnam visa fee by entering with my Norwegian passport (also time consideration as my flight leaves soon). Would it be awkward to apply with my Norwegian passport, if all of my bank accounts are Canadian and Singaporean?

📣 VISA / BANK INFO IN THAILAND 🇹🇭💳

I’ve heard that some banks in Thailand have started closing accounts opened with the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). 😟

I’m curious to know:

What has your experience been with this visa at different banks?

➡️ Is your account still active?

➡️ Which bank did you choose?

➡️ Has your bank contacted you about this?

Thanks everyone for your feedback — it could really help the community 🙏✨

Can the money in the accounts be distributed on different banks? (maybe 10k on one and 10k on another?)

how about having the money on wise? (or other online banks like mercury)

Sorry guys best way to off load my hard earned cash to my beloved wise or western union

Hey …. So since this bank has a location in Los Angeles… I should just open an account while here and then move to Thailand since the main branches are out there. I can imagine this would be the easiest way to get a Thai account..? Anyone try this before ?

I just opened a bank account with kasikorn bank.

It's easy to deposit money from my wise account or cash..

ABER

Es ist sehr trickreich und/oder teuer, das Geld wieder aus Thailand herauszubekommen... 🤔🤔🤔

I may have a mental block???

Can someone help me ????

Es ist einfach, Geld von meinem Wise-Konto oder Bargeld einzuzahlen...

US citizen. Hoping to go on an OA visa in December.

A few questions (again) after using search here and some google/web.

1. Any opinions on State Department Federal Credit Union and the ACA group that is the path to getting accounts there? Supposedly they are good with foreign addresses, and also web/ip platforms for MFA. Issue is I don't see a lot of current reviews, or mentions in the expat groups.

2. Maintaining US credit cards as an expat. Not expecting a tutorial here but any links to good info or first hand success in keeping them open?

3. Why don't we see any info on Gentleman Girls, only Lady Boys? (OK disregard this one).

Any help appreciated.
