secured credit cards?

[mohinga]

Is it possible for foreigners on retirement visa to get a secured credit card with Thai banks? i.e. having a fixed deposit to guarantee the card.

I ask because I see a lot of posts regarding daily limits for transfers being lowered for foreigners' accounts. If I were to move to Thailand I would have to be able to buy plane tickets, etc., that cost over 50,000 THB.

Depends on age, if under 65 it is possible.

In my experience with Kbank, in the past, no.

 

I want to my local Kbank branch about 14 years ago just after settling in Thailand.  I has given forms, but told I had to apply at Head Office in Bangkok.

 

Went to Head Office, with completed forms, and assorted documents, including my last pay slip from Australia (monthly salary was just over A$10,000 per month), copy Australian banks' statements (showing about A$600,000 in deposits), copy of pension letter saying current pension was about A$5,000 per month, and KBank passbook showing about Baht 1,500,000 in deposits.  Credit card application denied.
