I think it depends on the receiving bank. Bangkok Bank is usually 2:13 PM the next day and yes it is that exact. Other banks seem to be almost instantly. Most expats in Thailand seem to be happy with their service.

This is a Bangkok Bank rule. My local branch received a letter from their central office last week setting out the new rules. It applies to people with 800k balances as well.

I don't know if other banks have decided to do similar.

I am floored that there would be any question about you going other than when you decide that you have had enough and decided to move on.

Your advice is always to the point and accurate. To get the same quality advice outside of the group would cost real money.

Any advice you give is as accurate as is possible and when you don't know you say so.

People get their noses out of joint because you can at times be blunt. But it saves time and stops people going off topic and confusing things.

This was the part if the reason for my post they don't need to see the original certificate. The handout of their requirements does not even mention health insurance certificate at least not the one I saw. I only found out about the requirement because I asked an IO there.

I have fixed BK bank account with 800K in it and used it for my retirement extention this year. It was accepted by Immigration. This was Chiangrai Office.

I like the way this group operates. It keeps the answers short and to the point. It has helped me tremendously over the last 18 months. Just ignore the people who are moaning. No one has yet to have come up with a simple practicable way to change things without it becoming impossible to manage. You have your own lives to lead. Rant over.
