I understand that. It was clear in an email they sent me while I was applying from within the UK, as this poster is. I have posted that email here previously, but as I sit having a quiet coffee in my new home Bangsaray, my picture filing is crap and I can't find it again 🤣🤣🤣

I opened a current account with HSBC. You can also open a Global Account. The global account allows you to use the card and/or send money abroad with NO fees whatsoever from HSBC. It arrives in Thailand in Baht. Sadly, Bangkok Bank still deducts a fee before the money goes in, even though they do nothing but watch it all happen electronically. I will be taking this up with them.

That's not so according the the London Embassy, John. They say the financial requirements are 800K OR 65k/month

The app limits are adjustable within the app. the default is 50,000 but they can go up to at least 1 million and I don't know how much more

@Deanna ******

Now I'm confused because the 'Pay In Cheque' option is no longer on my app 🤪

bizarre rule. With Bangkok Bank you can deposit cheques via their app

@Leo *****

Thai banks are regulated by the government. You would have statements, so you can see when your money went out and where it went.

He can get a state pension statement from the DWP. Maybe even online
