I thought the question or problem was the amount allowed? What is “tagged” and why does it matter?

@Ronald ********

I have a Kasikorn account and routinely transfer in 60,000 to 100,000 baht from my U.S. bank. Never had a problem.

@Rob *****

You can live into your 70s fairly healthy but one day it will catch up with you and then what? If you’re over 70 you’re not working and adding to your saving. No you are spending that savings and a major medical issue will have you spend a lot of it quickly. Do you have a bunch saved up for the emergency? Most don’t and most never had it and that’s why they never invested in health insurance … they couldn’t afford ever. They gambled and they lost. Not all but some and then it’s GoFundMe. Don’t be that person.

@Brandon ***********

Well, that would sure explain it. No wonder

@Mike ********

didn’t reply. 😜

@Brandon ***********

Why do they allow these illegal schemes to be posted here all the time? Should be against the rules. 😡

@Brandon ***********

Illegal as I assumed. So, now you are locked into the scheme because the next year you have to do the same since you didn't have the required deposits all year.

@Pete *******

What do you have against Mexico?

@Joe ******

How do they do it? Legally I mean.

@Mike ********

How’s that work? Does the agent give you 800,000 to open the account and let you keep it for 12 months? Interest free?

@Paul *******

Ever read your own expat club's guidance on this issue. You should some time.
