Banking ….

I’m currently in Thailand, I’m using my Spainish Santander account, been here 3 months , here for a total of 5. My account’s only problem is at times, I can’t get into it on the app, I’ve got to clear cache, turn phone off/on , use mobile data, but other than that , they haven’t blocked or stopped me using it. I also have my UK HSBC as back up which works really well.

I also have some is ‘Wise ‘for emergencies.

Our visa , we are with Bangkok bank.

@Brandon ***********

thank you so much 🙏

We were told by our Lawyer , who is also sorting out our visas.

@Fred ********

just a thought for you , do have a trusted Friend, you could give a letter to, giving your bank card pin number to? So in the event of your untimely death, they could give her your letter, with pin number/s to access the account? And your phone?

I’m not into banking apps, so when I get our accounts this will be a lesson or 10 for sure, for us, how to use !

Btw, my friends laugh, as I still write cheques back home!

🤔🙄🤣

Wishing you a happy Easter 🐣.

Sorry to jump on your post Fred….

We are in the process of opening our accounts at Bk bank for our Visas, they have said it can only be with Bangkok bank, they have also told us, we can’t have a joint account, it has to be 2 separate accounts, and we are married!

As I will be using the account for shopping, meals etc… I will use my card for everything, hubby, will just putting in the bare minimum, so he has his for emergency use.

Wise owls out there …..

Can we then or How can we open a joint account with SCB ? Do they allow this?

@Nongnuch *******

he is a close friend, why would he make money on this, when you have to pay to get it done from your country, he can’t do it! 🤔🙄

@Brandon ***********

we were asked, new ruling apparently our Lawyers told us!

@Brandon ***********

we are applying for Long term (LTR) police clearance certificate is required for that one. It works better for us as a retired couple. No messing ,10 years.
