Last month I checked Singapore was a developed country with a stable government and an economy. Their national bank DBS has been awarded the title of the safest Bank in Asia. Never seen such awards and accolades given to a Thai bank See here - International Wealth Management by Asia’s safest bank Established and headquartered in Singapore — Asia’s leading financial hub — DBS Bank is a leader in Asian wealth management, and Singapore’s largest bank. DBS Bank’s ‘AA-’ and ‘Aa2’ credit ratings are among the highest in the world. Coupled with Singapore’s strong financial infrastructure, strong governance and stable economic climate make it an ideal place to grow your investments from. https://www.dbs.com/internationalbanking/index.html Share the link which shows any Thai Bank having such stable ratings

Getting free interest without even moving your finger, isnt it good? Singaporean, British banks are far more stable than Thai banks

100 % correct

2019 batch still waiting? Almost 4.5 yrs for MOI interview?

The OP has pink card and house book in his possession already

Yes, since you have the 13 digit Pink ID card for foreigners, the same 13 digits on the card will be your new TIN. They will copy your address from your Yellow House Book

The 10 digit TIN is no longer valid. They now have a 13 digit TIN issued to all foreigners, Thais use their Thai ID card. You will have to apply for a fresh 13 digit TIN at your nearest Revenue Office Passport + address certificate from Immigration will be required

@saakura Any good news ?

When was it great the last time?

Many functions are not available for foreigners- 1. Opening a new savings/current/FCD account - not available 2. Not allowed to open Fixed Deposits via the app 3. Mutual Fund / Share trading account - not possible via the app 4. Cannot request for a Balance confirmation certificate 5. Cannot request/apply for a credit card

You have agreed that in case of any fraud and you loose money from your account, the bank will not be held responsible.

Hope it turns out false, if not , its bad news for the current candidates

I was informed by my contact in MOI that the current government is not interested in processing citizenship applications. He has no idea when the next MOI interview will be conducted

Thanks for the update
