I originally applied with money in savings account (London) and they asked for proof of my money is a current account, I transferred the 500k over and produced a statement within 7 days and was then approved.

This was in December 24.

Yes

Yep I think maybe I was. Didn’t know that about Bangkok Bank, they turned me away along with a few others.

Having the cert of residence addressed to the bank plus my name, passport number and living address all on the form seemed to nullify the need for me to show anything apart from a matching passport.

Less than 30 mins later I walked out with my bank card and book.

Very lucky it seems but it is possible.

Already done in both original and English form - if you took 5 mins to read through the thread you would see this 😇

@Klaus ********

just catching up to all of the responses yesterday. I mis worded what I said about a letter, the cert provided by IO was addressed to Bank of Ayudhya (krungsri). Here is proof (obvs covered private info and used google translate).

@Patrapong ****

you are exactly the type of person I made the post about 🤣

@Jayson *******

Yawn, you are about 10 hours and 100 comments to late

@Anna ********

I do agree with you however the majority of people who have given me grief have not even attempted it.

I bet if more tried the same method there would be a lot more success stories.
