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.

Hello everyone.

I am an American. I am planning my retirement and will marry a Thai national soon. My question is, is it possible to have my retirement income deposited into a Thai bank account? Also when I'm eligable, the same for Social security? Is it easy to open a bank account in Thailand, Hua Hin? Any advise or exerience is welcome.

Hi all, I will go Vietnam in a few weeks for a DTV, but I am already living in Thailand (long story), the sort one is that I am married with a Thai citizen but to be 100% legal it is more convenient the DTV than the married visa (and for more reasons as well). So, my company is in the US (I am not a US citizen), and the 500K in my personal WISE account, but the address in wise is a Thai address , should be ok?/(I also has a Thai tax number, and i pay here my tax) Or is better to move the fund for example to Revolut where the address is my British home? I am quite confuse with this. Maybe the Wise account with my Thai home address can be an inconvenient more than a benefit ?

Thanks in advance .

Quick question for any UK expat who are receiving state pension in Thailand, is it correct if you ask the UK state pension department to send your pension direct to a Thai bank account, you will lose any uplifts to the UK state pensions in the future.

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.
