Outside?  So where do you live?  I know where this email is going if i get it.


It has been suggested that anyone failing to respond in the given time will have their accounts frozen.

Can anyone who has visited a branch to complete these forms tell me :-
-  Do they just want a signed copy of the photo page of the passport or each page in the book?
-  Did you  get any type of 'receipt' from the bank to say when/where you attended and provided them with this information?
   I am concerned that if there are any issues later where KBank dispute that you have given them the information requested 
   by the due date you will have no kind of proof the meeting ever took place.

They only want the photo page, side by side with a copy of your passbook balance.

 

I did not get a receipt.

 

It would be a matter of repeating the exercise, if the first did not take.

Did you check yes & give your home tax ID no? 

 

When I called KBank customer support, the representative mentioned that I could submit it directly at the branch. However, when I followed up, the staff told me I should handle it myself via email.

 

Eventually, I didn’t submit the form at the branch in Phuket Town because I didn’t have my home country’s tax ID with me and I still wasn't sure if yes or no.

 

Providing my home country’s tax ID wouldn’t be correct, as I am not a resident there. I currently reside in Thailand (more then 180 days), but I don’t have taxable income here (yet.

 

Next week, I plan to apply for a Thai tax ID and eventually send the necessary documents. I suspect this will become increasingly important for dealing with banks, visa applications, and other formalities in the future.

Not sure how many accounts you have but it is a combination of all accounts held outside of the US

Agreed. Two accounts, use monthly transfers $2200.00 usd monthly) so no cumulative amount meeting the requirements. My status is an economic refugee unable to afford a sustainable working middle class retirement in the USA.

I went yesterday to the Kasikorn branch in Central Festival, Pattaya.  I waited about 7 minutes for my queue number to be called.  The young lady who called my queue number was very knowledgeable about the forms.  As a Canadian, only the first form was required (not the two USA/IRS forms).  She had the form on her computer.  I gave her my Canadian SIN (social insurance number) and she printed out the completed form for me to sign.  Took about 5 minutes with her.
