But what do they want to see at the banks ? Is it the Thai marriage certificate (paper with pink border), Kor Ror 2 (copy of it) from y'r Amphur ? Because then I think it's better to talk to the Amphur first, how to register y'r UK mariage in Thailand/y'r Amphur.
Mmm, a pain indeed. 2 friends of mine (1 Dutch and 1 from Austria) had to go to the ministry of foreign affairs in Bkk, to register the mariage in Thailand. Not sure if they had to legalise their passport and mariage certificate first at their Embassy.
But first I would walk along some banks and/or branches with y'r wife. Even in the neighbourhood of y'r city.
Absolutely right. I admit for me it was almost 8 years ago, but the Thai Embassy in the Netherlands refused my non imm. O because I did not have a pension yet.
Well, my girlfriend does not have a joint account (SCB) but when I put the app also on my phone and used here credentials, it worked. They sent an OTP to her phone ofcourse, but then it worked. Only little disadvantage we noticed, was that when I put it on English language, also her app was in English
When you have a non imm. O visa, this visa is "USED" entering Thailand. After e.g. 60 days you can arrange a "Year EXTENSION", this isn't a visa anymore. Best indeed to get the non O visa in y'r home country, to open a bank account and put the required funds (400k฿/800k฿) in it, because they have to be in the bank for 2 months before you can apply for the year extension.
Hi. Well with me (Dutch/Netherlands) it worked several ways. I have the Bangkok bank app and Kasikorn bank app installed and with both there is an option 'international transfer'. I tested this with a small amount to my Dutch bank account and the transfer worked. Also took my Kasikorn bank debit card with me, and also that worked in a Dutch ATM. To 'transfer back to home country', there are also apps available to reduce costs, but I never registered nor used them. With the famous "WISE app." you can only transfer back if you have a Thai Mastercard. Ofcourse you can use the bank apps in y'r home country, it's 'just internet'. But the apps have to be installed in Thailand I guess. Also, Visa extension related, you have to watch for (min.) requirements of funds for the relevant extensions, to keep the year extension alive if you want to come back when you bought a re-entry permit before you left.
Yep. That I have on a fixed deposit account. The money which is in, is y'r credit/mastercard limit. Sometimes I call it a 'pre paid mastercard' 😉 You can transfer some money back to y'r savings account an ofcourse the remaining then is y'r 'new' limit. Bank tells me that if you transfer everything back to y'r savings account, the mastercard is void/canceled.
