Transferring Funds Overseas

Featured Replies

Transferred some funds out of Thailand today from my personal SCB account and was asked for my work permit. Have never been asked this before.

Is this standard practice in the experience of TV members, or something new ?

While holidaying in Thailand I once transferred money overseas. They just needed a reason for the the transfer and everything was fine and went through without a problem. This was about 1 year ago.

I have been looking into a wire transfer to Australia to make a deposit on a dive trip. The main branch of the Bangkok Bank wanted me to provide evidence of where this money would come from.

Asking for evidence of a work permit may be a variation of the same question.

I was told that evidence of a cash advance from a credit card would be sufficient.

It all seemed quite reasonable.

After literally thousands of bank transfers over the years i have only ever needed to show my passport or Thai drivers license.
