I think most forget about this potential big issue & the need to continue to have a web based version...You could be out of the country for quite a while & have no access to your online banking if your phone packs it in.

Here's a report from someone who did it in July last year.

Geez, this new appointment process just keeps changing...Out of interest, do they check through & keep all the documents or give them back for you to bring again on your appointment date? I'm on a marriage extension & going to assume it's got the same process since it's also a long term extension.

That's correct...I'm pretty sure all the banks have this security feature...It's either a code by sms or scanning a QR code with the mobile banking app (some of the banks give you an option)

Thanks for this important information...So you mean we have to go to the office approximately one month before to just book the appointment date & that's it? I would assume it's the same for a marriage extension as well as retirement? Finally, do you know if you can make the appointment by phone or it has to be in person? I'd rather avoid the extra 50km round trip if I can. Cheers

No worries...It seems 30k is the limit & only Krungsri ATMs are capable of this (for overseas cards), unless some of the lesser known banks I haven't tried also have this limit.

Over the last couple of years I initially tested my overseas debit card at 5 bank ATMs & these were the transaction limits I incurred; SCB - 20k THB Kasikorn - 20k KrungThai - 20k Bkk Bank - 25k Krungsri - 30k So it's Krungsri all the way for me.

Is it possible to get one of these cards at all if you're just renting a property? Like with a 12 month or more lease agreement & a copy of the landlord's ID/house registration...Unfortunately I don't have a pink card or yellow book & my wife is registered at her home in Surat.

That's nice to hear! Was that in the same or different province?

You must have not had to go into the bank to do anything since getting the new pp then? Once you do, it will have to be officially updated & from memory it has to be at the branch that you opened the account.

I'd appreciate if you could update how the process went at Samui immgration phetphet 😄 I was told the Australian Embassy also don't provide these transfer letters anymore.

Was it in the same Province or a different one?

No, it certainly hasn't always been the case at all...Sadly, it appears to be another new annoying implemention of the already pointless 90 Day reporting system.

You updated your new passport over the phone without having to go in person to the original branch? Never heard of being able to do that. Which bank was this?

The power went out in my area of Taling Ngam at around 11am yesterday. Felt like a planned outage as it came back on right on the dot of 5pm 🙄
