What can I do to ensure my girlfriend can access my Bangkok Bank account if I pass away?

I was merely providing an accurate factual response. Your comment that I am creating tension is stupid.

strictly speaking in Thailand you don't need a lawyer to draw up a valid will as long as it's witnessed, but I used one just for the convenience. I just walked into a law office and paid them 10,000 baht and it was all done in a couple of days.

it's not a minefield. It's a no-brainer to draw up a will bequeathing a bank account to someone else. Legally you don't even need a lawyer to do this but I used one just for the convenience.

just go to any law office. I was charged 10,000 baht to draw up a bilingual will in both English and Thai which bequeathed bank accounts. It's a no-brainer.

@Peter *********

she will be able to use a PIN number until the ATM card expires. Then what? Just make a will making her the beneficiary of the account. It's so easy to do.

it is not illegal to make a will making someone else the beneficiary of your account upon your death. Nothing to do with any family members.

@Vicki ********

problem with the joint account is that you won't be able to use the banking app to pay for anything or to transfer money. Those banking rules came into effect a few years ago. Better to make a will which is a very simple thing to do here.

Why did I encounter difficulties opening a bank account in Thailand with a Non-O marriage visa?

Tony *********

@Lloyd ********

that's also the case with the Krungsri bank app. It won't accept a scan of the PEA QR code. But it works with Kasikorn which is my favorite bank. Also no problem with AIS prepay.

Can I open both a foreign currency (GBP) and Thai baht account at the same bank in Thailand on a 90-day non-immigrant visa?

Tony *********

Krungsri Bank was very easy. I don't know about now though. I opened a Sterling FCD account with just my passport. Note that you have to fund the initial deposit with actual pound notes.
