Bro FYI, KYC is not an Indian term.

I have seen it at places like Binance, Stripe, PayPal, Citi Bank, JP Morgan. Just to name a few.

Understood. For a regular bank account, I have been able to do reKyc online several times in the past - using Aadhar authentication and basic information.

Same might apply to NRE account. maybe - not sure.

You might also consider checking Indian banks operating in Thailand catering to NRIs.

Well I am on DTV and working as a digital nomad and I am not sure if I qualify for, or need a NRE bank account. 🤔

Anyway, most private banks these days offer means for online KYC from internet banking or mobile apps.

I tried to scan my passport and face but it kept giving me unknown errors. I just couldn’t do it.

Contact the consulate. Could be a clerical error.

I use crypto to get US dollars in cash and then I exchange it whenever I need. I also use a crypto debit card and my personal credit card from my home country which has zero forex charges. Cash is king.

Only inconvenience is not able to pay via QR code at vending machines.
