you have 3 questions - not 2.

@Coyle **************

very enlightening - no to what? There are 2 questions he says. But there are actually 3.

I tried that with a Revolut transfer to BKK and it was not marked international.

@John ********

they want 2 copies of every page in your bank book. That's my local immi requirement and the cert from the bank.

@Lynnette ******

none! He asked about visa on arrival but meant visa exempt arrival

@Joseph ************

well in my opinion immi rules do not change a lot.

@Chuck *********

no - the bank was under investigation because it was discovered that certain foreigners used the Pattaya branch for money laundering. So they over-reacted - is what I heard. But this has little to do with "every morning they come up with new ideas and those ideas always benefit them not you" and he talks about all banks and that is nonsense as I said. The "new ideas" I have experienced the several years I have had accounts in 2 Thai banks are a photo requirement a couple of years ago and signing a couple of documents.

@Chuck *********

not in my experience with BKK and Krungsri.

@John ********

really? "every morning they come up with new ideas and those ideas always benefit them not you" - that's nonsense. I have had accounts in 2 banks for several years. What has been changed is photo requirement a couple of years ago - and signing of some - 2 I think it was - documents. That's it. Hardly "every morning". And banks all over - not just in Thailand - are tightening their requirements - afraid of white wash and must follow the legislation. So yes - I think it is nonsense.

nonsense
