Hi

I would like to share my experience. Done my annual extension this week CW BKK. Done same as the last 5 years. Top up my 800k 3 months before my extension date. Same as before.

This time BB tells me it's needs to be 4 months before! A change of policy! So to get the letter from BB I had to have 800k frozen for 4 months! I didn't know about this one.

The extension was fine no issues with immigration.

Just a heads up to anyone that spends some of the 800k.

Cheers

Gee

So where will you be opening your new account, if you don't already have one?

It's 800k two months prior to application and 3 months after extension approved and not below 400k in other months

You haven't been reading AseanNow.

This is a BBL rogue action and nothing to do with immigration.

Suggest you consider another bank moving forward.

The "freeze" of 4 months is deplorable action

No I haven't been reading 🤣 Yes deplorable! I had no choice to get the letter, could be said it's BM ! As I said to the bank staff " I was not told"

Yes moving to another bank !

Current thread from guy that just opened account with Kasikorn.

For proof of address was able to use TDL.

A COR not required.

That bank is partner with WISE.

Downside is no branch at CW if that's the office you deal with.
