58 minutes ago, Just Weird said:Probably as easy as going into the bank, presenting your passport and passbook and requesting a withdrawal. Why would it be anymore difficult unless you're trying to get it before the end of the term?
If your account has been dormant for over 10 years there is a possibility that the account balance could be transferred to Finance Ministry accounts but it is always available, you do not lose it. This is not supposed to apply to fixed deposit accounts, though.
But the question will be answered if you call the bank, of course, and ask them...before you come here.

Hi,
I’am returning to Thailand after being in England for a few years. I have 800,000 baht in a fixed deposit. I’am going to return to my country, as I have not been well and think it is the best for me.. How easy will it be for me to get my money from the bank..

1 hour ago, Kerryd said:I'd suggest talking to a Thai lawyer directly.
I was told years ago that a Will from a different country would be almost unenforceable here just as a Thai Will would be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce in a different country. This is because every country has different laws regarding things like inheritance and taxes. (Basically the same reason so many rich Arab wives fly to the UK or USA before filing for divorce. Even just in the USA a lot of women will "move" to California before filing for divorce as the settlements tend to be more generous than in some other states.)
From my experience (when my father died here 9 years ago). In his case he did have a Will so things were pretty straight forward.There is a 45 day period between when someone dies and when the courts will allow the Will to be probated. This is designed so that relatives (or creditors) can file claims against the estate.
After the 45 days (or at a date later than that), the court will allow the Will to be probated. Normally the heir or the named Executor of the Estate (often the same person) would attend court with their lawyer and, assuming there are no other claims on the estate, the judge would then grant them the right to dispose of the Estate in accordance with the Will.
However, If there is no Will then you will face a significant problem. A friend of mine died here without a Will. He left a large(ish) sum in the bank and no one, not even his sister, can access it. In her case, she'd have to fly here, hire a lawyer, go to court (many times) and in the end may end up paying as much as she'd get from the account.
Anyone else (i.e. a "close friend" or "girlfriend") would probably have zero chance of getting anything at all.
From my recollection - if an Estate lays dormant for 7 years, it reverts to the Government. Theoretically any money in any bank accounts would be transferred to (Federal) government and any property would probably be disposed of by the local (Province/District/City) government.
An actual (Thai) lawyer would be able to give you a much better explanation as well as proper instructions for the deceased's relatives.
My son passed away in Thailand 14 years ago.. He had a condo, car, motorbike and money in Thai bank.. It took 2 years, but I ended up with everything, having been taken to court 5 times.. His solicitor, worked with his “best mate” and his Thai girlfriend, to try and get everything for themselves, but the judge awarded everything to me.. Maybe I was lucky, I don’t know..

Very confused on what I need to re-enter Thailand.. I have been in Australia for the past 3 years, going over to BKK for 2/3 weeks a year. I own my own condo, going to try and go over before Xmas, as have payments to be made, car to be registered etc: Can anyone out there tell me what forms I need to get before or when I get there, as after reading everyone’s posts, I’m really at a loss to know what I have to get or do. Would really appreciate any advice !!!

Thank you so much, now I know, very confusing seeing all of the answers, then not knowing which one is right. ????
I’am a female not a male, as said on my profile.

Can anyone tell me what is required to get a visa renewal. If I have 800,000 baht in Kasikorn account, do I still have to get this new letter confirming that I have 65,000 baht coming into my Kasikorn account. I have been overseas for quite awhile, I’am really at a loss to understand it all.
Kindest regards,
P.M.
