When opening my bank account on 30 day emempt, one problem was the second official ID card. My passport was not enough. I'm from UK and we don't have ID cards. I don't have driving licence either. I was creative and used my bus pass. 😏
ask the UK solicitor if assets in Thailand are covered by UK will. I am going to check too. In USA my bank said they won't accept a UK will bequeathing funds to my named beneficiaries without a US will.
