I don't get charged an ATM fee because I use cardless withdrawals. I can also get a bank statement with my new address for immigration purposes. At this point I can't think of any reason to visit my home Branch because even when I was in the home province I had never visited the branch since I opened the account nearly 10 years ago. I got a new ATM card issued at the branch in the new province and I have the banking app. That's all I need. I have absolutely no reason to ever visit the physical branch.

@Carsten ***********

what kind of tasks would that be? It would be worth knowing why you would need to visit your home branch.

@Marty ********

I did the same. I'm now living in Udon but my home branch remains in Phuket. I just changed the address. Kasikorn has now made it easier to avoid ATM fees because you can now do cardless withdrawals from a Bangkok Bank ATM as well as Kasikorn. I resent having to pay a fee just because I'm in another province.

@Garrett **********

yes that's true which is why I use cardless ATM withdrawals thereby avoiding the fee.

@Stuart **********

I avoid the ATM fee by doing cardless withdrawals.

@Bart *************

or just leave it as it is but change the address.

@Carsten ***********

it's weird. I managed to change my address from my home branch to another branch in another province and even got issued a new ATM card from that branch but the account still resides with the home branch. So I've left it at that. No need to close and open another account.

@Garrett **********

you can change the address on your account. I just did that with my Kasikorn account. It shows my new address on the statement but it still refers to the home account branch where I opened it. So there's no need to open a new account. The only thing I am lumbered with is a fee when I use my ATM card because it's not in the home province. So I avoid that by doing cardless ATM withdrawals. No big deal, but it's a bit of a weird rule in Thailand.

my non O has a one-year extension for retirement so I guess that's why I have been able to stay here for a number of years because it can be renewed here within Thailand and it requires only 90-day reports without having to leave.

@Nathan ********

I never had a non O like that.
