What is the new policy from Bangkok Bank regarding long-term visa holders and bank account balance certificates?

Pete *******

@Stuart ********

on the actual Bangkok Bank letter at the bottom it states that “I warrant that I am the owner of the deposit account and I have received the certificate of deposit on the date of the request”. Sounds to me they issue the certificate on the day of the request and the bank then freezes the funds going forward.

@Stuart ********

like you said not an Immigration requirement but a banking one. Better for the bank to have one common banking process to communicate and train than several processes dependent on visa type.

I think you are reading it wrong. To me it reads that the bank will freeze (pledge) your funds of 400k/800k in your account and issue you the letter for immigration. After 4 months they will release the funds back to you. I don’t think it reads as prior but as frozen going forwards.

That will put a spanner in the works of the agents. No more helping with the financials.

Why did my Thai bank deduct tax from my savings account?

Pete *******

Banks automatically apply withholding tax to interest payments. Nothing to do with you obtaining a TIN.

@Dana ***************

incorrect. Foreign sourced income earned whilst tax resident is taxed even if remitted in future years. See first line.
