Update: went to the bank when it opened this morning. Gave them the required documentation. I was told my app would be back today there are 3 time slots 11am being first. My app is now back.

@Keith ******

it’s only the phone app that’s suspended not tge account.

It’s only the phone app that is suspended not the account. I asked. Also they say that they cannot do anything until the app is blocked then you have to present all your documents again and get photographed again then that all goes to head office and you will get unblocked. There are 3 times per day when they perform the unblocking.

I think it’s just the app. I’m in my way to the bank now so I’ll ask.

no that won’t be accepted. They want something with your name and address on it, so if you don’t have it then using your brothers address is best option. This will also give you the possibility to get the wise card that’s not possible for me with Thai address was

I have just set up a wise account with my Thai address. I have a uk bank account that I need to transfer occasionally.

Evidence required as proof of address was a utility bill which I provided. They responded by saying the utility bill must have my name on it. Thai utility bills do not have names on them only addresses so I sent a copy of my Thai driving licence front and back. My transfer is currently in progress

I have a 3 bedroom house family of 5 two rooms with air in all night avg 10 hours per day two freezers, fan on all day when ac is not on and I run at between 3000 and 4000 THB depends on various factors, children home all day etc

I tried to do that this year with my marriage visa to free up the 0 THB. I work here and my salary is paid directly into my Thai bank account. I gave them 12 months bank statements plus 12 months payslips they dismissed them and insisted on the 0 THB being in the account.

Guys Brandon is only answering the questions raised in this forum with cold hard facts. Yes everyone has unique situations where they want things to pan out their way and sometimes some people get lucky with the rules and some people don’t.

When I first started planning my move here I asked a number of questions and some of the responses I received I didn’t like but the rules are the rules and Brandon is simply quoting them.
