no minimum amount of time and no minimum balance. I move money in and out just for Thailand. In the end there’s always about five bucks left each month.
it certainly is. Especially with some of the jealous farangs in Thailand. My buddy had someone following him around Facebook insulting his Thai kids. All because he responded to something in a Facebook group that person disagreed with.
also get a Charles Schwab bank account. They are very easy to work with and they refund any international ATM charges every month Thailand and charges me 220 baht if I use the atm. Just say I pull out money 3 times in a month and get charged ฿660 for ATM charges. On the first of the next month ฿660 gets refunded to me by Charles Schwab.
Use this. It’s not a virtual mailbox. They accept mail for you and scan contents and email it to you. You have to sign up using an affidavit with them that’s authorized by the post office. I had already ran into an issue with Chase Bank for not having a US address
