Jumper25 It may take few days for international transfers, so do it as soon as you can ! I didn't transfer much over 800k as USD is weak for now. 🫡

Ian Carman As said in my post, the list says nothing about bringing over the bank letter、housing contract、landlord's ID、blue book. 🫡😎

Andy Oswald When I first settled in Paris, at a supermarché, a woman walking with a crank in line dropped all her tomatoes at check-out. The cashier、everyone in 2 lines was expecting her to pick them up. I knew this would greatly slow down my check-out time if she has to do this on her own, no noble thought involved here at all, I picked up her tomatoes. Then she waited aside until I finish my check-out.

Holy then, she kissed all over both of my arms and insisted that I walk with her to her building across the road. She said she was from Belgium and never received help like this. I said to myself : What a poor woman, what did she go through here all the years !?

And then, I realized I was going through what she had gone through........😂

Jumper25 When I applied for an account with BNP Paribas in Paris, they even asked me if I rented an apartment back in the States, if yes, the signature of my old landlord would be required........talking about efficiency ! 😔

And the「 International Branch 」of Société Générale told me right on my face : We do Not accept American clients !........that was not what Napoleon said ! 😩

Jumper25 Nope, they only checked the deposit of 800k to the day is at least 2 months and in between the balance is always beyond 800k. Because USD is weak for now, so I only keep my balance above that amount with a living budget of 3 months.

I use Schwab worldwide, they reimburse ATM fees without limits almost in every country.

Yes, Non-O.

I hope this answers. 😉

Stephen Howell That's exactly the first question I was asked at the site ! 😅

I spent too much time searching for an ideal condo, then opened a bank account and then waited for the international wire to come in.

And I kind of forgot the 90-day requirement because I was too busy hanging out in Bangkok, just like a tourist without a brain ! 😅

Stephen Howell EMV you mean !? If you take MRT often enough, it would cost quite a fee on your credit card bill ! 🥲
