After losing 2 cards I was motivated to. Go to a branch and ask them to teach you how to do it. It’s worth it.

I started using cordless withdrawals after losing 2 cards in 2 months.

Doesn’t matter. I never got that far. I couldn’t get the account set up properly.

My US bank does not charge for international transfers. I’m sure they make their money somewhere but it wasn’t obvious that Wise would be better. My plan was to compare a $100 transfer using both my bank and Wise. In 2022 I tried setting up a Wise account. It was a bit of a disaster and a long story I won’t go into. Wise wasn’t much help fixing the problems. I gave up on Wise.

When I tried to do this with Kasikorn bank it meant literally opening a new account. I ended up just changing my mailing address. I now live in Sisaket province but my official Kasikorn bank branch remains in Phra Khanong, Bangkok

I would just love to hear the stories that prompted the BOI to post this message 🤣

Sorry. I don’t know the rules regarding spouses and family members

The 10 year Elite Visa is 1.5 million baht, so only 600k more for a 10 year. They changed the prices last year

He said he was 45. Once he is 50 he can get a non-O visa as a retiree for 1,900 baht but I have met expats over 50 that have the Elite visa and are happy with it. I have a 10 year pensioner LTR.

The 5 year Elite Visa is 900,000 baht or $24,300.
