My view is to not worry about it. Others may have a different view.

 

 

I'm ignoring it. 

I'm not an American, nothing on those forms applied to me.

OK maybe a stupid question, but here goes.

I didn't get the email but I did copy the three PDF forms that were posted on this topic.

Then I found that I couldn't enter text into them. Adobe offers an upgrade but I'm not interested.

Can you enter text on the forms you got (if you got the email)?

If you can't enter text, of course you can print the forms and write by hand and then scan to send by email but what a pain.

Response appeciated.

 

I can fill them in electronically. 

On my PC running Linux they open with a program called Xreader (https://github.com/linuxmint/xreader/) and I can fill them out on screen, no need to print them out.

But what will happen on the 20th of December for the deadline to complete, account frozen maybe? are you going to risk that?

 I have a friend who lives a nice existence on the coast in Bang Saphan, he is not aware of Aseannow, doesn’t belong to any expat facebook groups, he does as I do, when he sees a Thai expat blogger on YouTube - clicks “not interested - don’t suggest me more content like this” - he doesn’t use internet banking, he’s still young but doesn’t own a smartphone, pays cash for everything which he draws from the ATM. He didn’t receive an email from kasikorn.
 

Are they really going to drop everyone who doesn’t respond by the 20th. 
 

I have worked in Thailand for 15 years, sometimes authorities just want a number or a photocopied piece of paper to file away - how long will it take for them to find a random number, just to stop them closing your account? Idk .. just asking.

Of course they're not but they will ask again, repeatedly.

There are fillable ones located here

Cool.

That has the IRS forms for Americans W9 and W8BEN but I don't see the most important one, the CRS form for all.

The CRS one is international but I understand ignoring it.

Highly doubtful. 

But possibly they might bother people the next time they do into a branch to do some bid-nes, like a new bank book or ATM card.

When you refer to Acrobat, I assume you are talking about the free Acrobat Reader and not the "not free" full on Acrobat editing suite.

I don't use Acrobat Reader, so I can't confirm that. IMHO the forms from the KBank email are not "fillable".

Here is an example of what I consider to be a "fillable" form (TIN application form) https://rd.go.th/fileadmin/tax_pdf/request/lp10.1_110355.pdf which can be filled in using free Acrobat reader and PDFgear.

 

Thanks.

Yes, just the PDF reader.

Not if they don't have your correct email.

Ask yourself has any other Thai bank sent out these forms I have several other bank accounts and none only Kasikorn have sent out these forms personally I have chosen to ignore the email after all the bank holds all my details along with copies of my passport and pink ID card !
