What do I need to know about the sponsor letter for a Non-O visa application in Thailand?

I had 800k equivalent in my home bank account. There was nothing about the sponsor letter. Use the financial requirements, quick and no mucking around.

Why did Bangkok Bank lock my account without notice?

Ling *****

@Max ************

mine the same. Opened it 20 + years ago. I had never been asked to update anything either. However on a recent branch interaction the lady did mention to have my phone verified just as a precaution. No drama, went to dtac and got a print out with my name and passport number on it.

Why is it important for expats to open a Thai bank account?

Ling *****

It avoids you having to pay a 250 baht atm fee + any extras your home bank charges you. I do cardless withdrawals and transfers within Thailand and there are zero fees.

Do it for your Mum within 72 hours of her flight. It all digital, get all the details and do it for her, it works.

What should I do to set up Bangkok Bank digital banking on my new phone without losing my account?

Ling *****

They are not going to close you down for buying a new phone. I just walked into the bank and said, this is my new phone, can you help me set it up? And they did, didn't asked me anything else.
