worgeordie Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 You can add her signature to your account,its not a joint account,but she can withdraw money with the book,keep the book safe,depends on how much you trust her. I don't know if this account has a name,just explain to Bangkok Bank what you want to do. I have accounts this way at Bangkok Bank and SCB, 1 account which I use for doing extension,the account in my name only, you would need UV light to see signatures,which immigration dont check. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieK Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Does your wife have her own bank account? Use prompt pay to send funds to her account from yours. You'll find prompt pay on the banks mobile app. Edited March 23, 2020 by CharlieK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power of Attorney expires and becomes invalid when the person dies. The only way is to write a Thai will and have it witnessed by two people.

WhereIsMyRyeBread Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Banks providing fixed deposit accounts are usually able to absorb instructions as what to do with the funds upon maturity. 'At maturity, the Bank will automatically roll-over the deposit to a three-month fixed term deposit using the interest rate available at that time under the Bank’s conditions, provided that a depositor has not withdrawn any money from the account, or issued a subsequent instruction.' https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Save-And-Invest/Save/Deposit-Campaign Your subsequent instruction would be to transfer the money upon maturity to another account you currently hold - with a lesser amount that you're comfortable with, and then share that account's pin + card to your Mrs. Then repeat this cycle in perpetuity.

Seligne2 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I consulted a Thai lawyer to make a will. During the process I asked her, "How can my son get immediate access to my BB account?" (If I were to make the account joint, Immigration would require me to keep 800k baht times two in the account, so that is off the table). Her reply shocked me: make sure my son knows where my debit card is and its PIN. He can then withdraw cash at any BB ATM. I asked about the legality of that. She replied that that is how Thais do it.

Did very similar except I also had a Thai translation made as well. A will is the accepted way, worldwide of ensuring that your assets go where you want them to go when you die. Which is what I assume the O/P was trying, somewhat reluctantly to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give her access to your account unless it's a small account for living expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
