I'm really keen on attending this one.

I have some friends on the island that were declined a loan from a local bank because their criteria for lending was based off the wife's income earned in Thailand (fitness instructor) The husband is a offshore commercial diver who brings home a pretty good chunk of change, but his income was not taken into account when processing the loan application.

I want to know if this policy still stands or if it's a matter of what bank you go to and how they are feeling that day.

but related

Went to a bank in Central to get a joint account with the wife and they refused because she didn't have a WP... went to the same bank but a different branch and they said sure no problem.

Banking, as we all know here, is consistently inconsistent.
