thanks - I will certainly follow it up!

That is something I need to look at going forward. At this point in time my funds are transferred via Western Union from my Australian Credit Union. I will probably need to do a border run and start the whole process again...........this time opening a Wise account and transferring funds thus ensuring "international transactions" into my Kbank account directly.

@Andy ***********

Understood!

@Brian *******

I actually asked the staff member at Kbank here in Chiang Mai if the bank could follow it through with the Bank of America for me. That person said it has to be done by the customer him or herself.............and that was at the head office here in Chiang Mai. I will go to my branch and double check with them. Thanks for the "heads up"!

@Andy ***********

are you referring to the initial receiving bank (Bank of America) or would it be available from Kbank where my account is?

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

Regarding the credit advice documents I have them from the Kasikorn Bank for each "international/automatic transaction" over the 12 month period.........or are you referring to the Bank of America which is the initial receiving bank who then on forward the transactions to my Kasikorn Bank account?

Having checked my passport stamps again I realised that the month of June last year encompassed the final 30 days of the initial 90 day Non - O visa. Thus the 90 days covered April - June. My 1 year extension of stay therefore began on 3 July 2024 and expires on 2 July 2025. My 12 x consecutive monthly statements will cover the period July 2024 to June 2025 inclusive. Thanks!

........as I don't have my own residential address back in Australia I was unsure what address details to put in the form..........and so I went to my branch this morning and they were happy to put the address on my Australian driver's licence - my daughter's address........and so all done!

Cheers!

Hi Lee - what information did you provide in the space for "addresses/jurisdictions" on the FATCA - CRS form for individual certication?

I received the same email yesterday. I don't have an issue filling out the forms, but wondering what to put in the space where it asks for addresses/jurisdictions on the FATCA - CRS form for individual certification?
