Well... they did it for me... many times. When I started the transaction (online) there was a reminder about the report, another window popped up, I had to answer some questions like "where this money came from?", "what is the purpose of the transaction?", complete address data of the recipient and so on... nothing complicated. And that was it... worked with different banks in Germany. But anyway... just split your transaction... no report needed... problem solved...

@Stuart ********

Actually it's not a problem at all to transfer higher amounts... your bank will report to the "Bundesbank" automatically, you don't have to do anything. And as long you are not "suspicious" to them nothing will happen, not even a delay in the transaction.

@Stuart ********

Yep... it's "per transaction", so splitting is the way to go... ;-)

@Stuart ********

It's about money laundering... the same with cash... more than 10,000 Euro you have to declare to customs when you leave Germany, and also when you bring more into the country.

@Jon *******

With Krungsri?

@Jon *******

It's the new law about money laundering. Every transaction above 50,000 Baht must be verified with the Bank of Thailand. At the moment there are only 3 banks available for that... BBL, SCB and KBANK.

@Paul *******

Yes, Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn and SC.

@Richard *********

Yes, it must be an account from a Thai Bank. Normally you need a Non-Immogrant-Visa, with a lot of luck you can do it with a tourist visa. But that will be difficult... things have changed lately. That's why many people use an agent now... they can solve this problem, even if you are on visa exempt.

At the end of the day everything is "up to the discretion" of the Immigration Officer. If he thinks you try to stay too long or even try to live in Thailand based on visa exempts he will tell you to get a proper visa.

Not all EU countries need a visa...

"I. Visa Requirement

1. A visa is required to enter Vietnam unless it is exempted.

2. German nationals do not need a visa if:

- they will not stay in Vietnam for more than 45 days, including the arrival and departure days (a proof such as an onward or return ticket may be required at the border); and

- their passport is valid for at least six (06) months upon entry.

3. The visa-free stay of 45 days is recalculated with each entry, regardless of the last entry, which happened with or without a visa. A minimum period between the last exit and the visa-free entry is not required.

4. The regulations in points 2 and 3 also apply to nationals of France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Russia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus."
