For Immigration purposes, the account must be in the foreigner's sole name. You can add a person to your account though by signing a Power of Attorney form that the bank provides, which gives them access to your account, but on statements, letters etc, only your name appears. Hell, Bangkok bank even gave my spouse a separate debit card for my account when I gave her POA. To navigate through the Thai Inheritance laws of succession after death, a simple Will suffices as to who inherits the deceased estate and avoids the probate process. (Unless someone contests the Will).

They'll take no notice of a lawyer's letter. She'd need to sign a POA for the OP to conduct affairs on her behalf. My wife has POA to access my account and a Thai Will along with a Thai death certificate, Bangkok Bank assure me funds would immediately be released to my spouse in the event of my death on production of those documents. At minimum, the lady in question will require a Court Order to release said funds to her, after proof she alone is entitled to said funds.

There is a legal procedure to follow to have any foreign document accepted as legitimate by Thai authorities. As with marriage to a Thai, the BE can attest an affidavit to marry, but if widowed/divorce you must produce said document. This is because the BE have access to Public records in the UK. (Birth, Death, Divorce) and can authenticate those documents as being genuine. Alternatively, they may tell you that the UK death certificate should be first authenticated by the Home Office in Milton Keynes, then legalised by the Thai Embassy in London. This is then translated into Thai and legalised by Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Without that vignette being attached by the MFA, the document could be a forgery. I suspect the bank are making enquiries through the British Embassy to authenticate the Death certificate is genuine - could take months. I'd advise you contact the BE yourself.

How can a Thai lawyer authenticate a UK death certificate. The correct procedure is to have the British Embassy authenticate the document, then have it translated, then legalised by Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Only then will it be acceptable as a genuine foreign document by the bank - hence their enquiries. It's also no longer a 'joint' account per se.

Provided you can prove 12 x 65K minimum monthly overseas transfers, you meet the financial criteria. 35-2561 (2019 (changed clause 2.22 of 327-2557 ENG.pdf This was an amendment to the requirements issued after the UK, US and Australian Embassies ceased the Income letters, to accept monthly overseas transfers to a Thai bank as an alternative.

Yep, agreed, but the point I was trying to make went over members heads. If you've exited and re-entered in-between a 90-day report, you're still able to submit online on the due date. The system doesn't know you've exited and re-entered. Of course, you can count 90 days from re-entry and submit within the 14-day window, but my particular IO will not approve these applications, stating foreigners frequently enter the wrong dates, so they insist you go in person the first time after re-entry.

Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979) ENG.pdf Section 38 : The house – master , the owner or the possessor of the residence , or the hotel manager where the alien , receiving permission to stay temporary in the Kingdom has stayed , must notify the competent official of the Immigration Office located in the same area with that hours , dwelling place or hotel, within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the alien concerned. Definitions in the Act; Section 4: “ House Master ” means any persons who is the chief possessor of a house , whether in the capacity of owner , tenant , or in any other capacity whatsoever , in accordance with the law on people act. You can register online and file as the 'tenant'.

You're not in Country to file it on the due date, but the online system doesn't know that! The exit/entry system isn't linked to the 90-day report system, separate systems. Some friends who regularly go in and out, and I tried an experiment last year regarding the online 90-day system. If you're out of Country between 90 day reports, on re-entry you can submit your report on the expected due date, but if you count 90 days from reentry and try to submit it will be rejected, and you have to submit in person for Immigration to reset the report date. My advice too @Gee Bangkok is just to submit it on the date given from the previous report.

Come on, Joe, Immigration are police. The last police officer I saw in a hospital after a foreigner deceased, collecting details, was one of the local Immigration officers. -

Immigration could be aware of the situation, therein lies the problem. It's usual for hospitals to notify Immigration when a foreigner deceases, so they can notify the national's Embassy.
