It’s changed since we opened it, hadn’t really noticed we still get about B13k a year after tax…..

SCB Easi Pass offers 2.5% before tax if you plan to keep the 800k here been using if for 5 years - it’s an immediate access deposit a/c which keeps immig happy

Being an immig officer is a very mundane job so they enjoy a nice chat discussing your holiday plans, assuming it is of course a holiday and nothing more sinister - they are exceptionally polite in my experience.

being and

They are mugging you off - if you are not resident /have a retirement visa bank account no longer possible - maybe this is rhe bribe you need to pay doesn’t get you a retirement visa that’s at discretion of immig

waiting for e-gates to be installed in all int‘l airports pointless otherwise

Not for long - ETA will kill off that gig

After clearing her throat over the last few months the fat lady is singing - only a matter of time.

Left BB 5 years ago for SCB - never regretted it, they are unhelpful, dishonest - never looked back and SCB give me 2.5% on my 800k get statements for immig same day And their on line app is excellent

You’ve only got one side of the story, having passed through Thai immigration dozens of times over the years can’t speak highly enough, 2 experiences with the storm troopers at the US border with Canada put me off that journey ever again. Anyway the new ETA will put a stop to all this , as rejection will take place on line , much as is does in US, AU and many other parts of the world, my wife (Singaporean) just had to do it for UK for the first time in 36 years - 5 minute effort and avoided the usual hour queue at LHR……
