It's not a rule change but enforcement of what's been in place for a long time.

There is another way of looking at this, that is to have two numbers on one phone contract, which means you pay one bill for two numbers. You will numbers given two sims as outlined by the other replies. AIS and probably the other big suppliers can provide this.

@Michael *******

have you tried it recently? It's a Thai banking requirement, that over 50kthb or 200kthb in 24 hours requires face ID on transfer on an app, the pictures needs to be done at the bank.

I have both KBank and Bangkok Bank accounts and apps, pretty similar, although the KBank App I find a little more developed.

@Nongnuch *******

yes indeed but the process was that they provide the FET. It may of changed but worth checking

@Nongnuch *******

I think part of what she means is that the bank produce a FET form which is needed in the purchase process (or it was) you need to check this out.

@Greg *****

this is getting boring, my government pension is 13 times a year and is not enough, my private pension can be paid every 3, 6, and 12 months. So unless I take the lump sum and then send an additional monthly payment it won't work, not only that it will be more effort and cost and more explaining at the immigration office, not very appealing.

@Greg *****

the ship has sailed its no longer an issue, because I'm now paid a lump sum which covers the 400k
