if he has done nothing illegal he most likely needs to set up Face ID , update book , Tax ID and maybe verify the ownership of the mobile number he uses for online banking.

Face ID=yes,  Bank Book=yes,  Verify Mobile nbr=yes,  Passport=yes,  Tax ID not required. 

And possibly Residence letter from IO and address verification documents

sorry , what do you mean with BBL. 

 

BBL is the symbol for Bangkok Bank Limited on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). It is akin to using MSFT for Microsoft Corporation. Stock symbols, aka ticker symbols, are best avoided outside stock investment forums.

And they want foreign investment  here anyone investing here should have a big think about it

 

The  procedures will not negatively impact legitimate foreign investment. How would it? What it will do is  answer the international pressures to  combat money laundering and tax evasion.

i had to give my german Tax ID (steuer-ID) when i opened my bank account with Bangkok Bank last year.

yes residence letter but only when opening the bank account needed i guess.

 

Tax ID and thai driving licence was  a must otherwise no bank account, they were very serious and strict.

Nope, his account was closed.

This is not the same as GCash or Maya Pay in the Philippines. Those give you an actual bank account number that you can transfer money directly into with Wise. 

 

These are not like bank accounts.  They require you to add the credit through cash or foreign credit card, so you are forced to pay their exchange rates in addition to whatever transaction fees you were already paying before.  In other words, it's just one more middleman.  Less than useless.  Other Thai banks are doing something similar.

You asked a question, i gave you information. The least you could have done is saying 'thanks, but that's not the same ' before indicating why it's not what you're looking for.

 

Common courtesy.

Not sure why consulates (not embassies it is a consul's job) would do that. And if they did, how would it be easier, or better, than just showing your 65k/m or 800k in the bank?

Indeed, the letter came from the Embassy's Consular Section. However the notice issued by immigration when it first came about referred to "Embassies".

As for your second point, strikes me the Thais decided it would be better to see the income appearing in the bank.

Yes, no doubt that seeing the money actually coming into the country would be the goal I expect 😊 Unfortunately, the letter seems to only refer to relatives of a Thai national. My wife is farang 😊
