Hi

I have found that Siam Commercial Internet Banking offers the service of remiting savings back to your home country.

I can't seem to find any limits in the blurb on the net.

A friend tells me 450k baht is the limit but, does not know if that is a monthly, yearly or grand total limit.

Anyone tried it and got more info ?

Thanks

I wanted top backpay my pension up to UK, scb no way. I went to Bangkok Bank did it easy.

Just an FYI to those who are Bangkok Bank customers, iBanking offers International Transfers (outbound) so you can send money out of Thailand. They do hundreds a day, a very popular service for expats.

It is only 300 Baht a transfer. Here is the link

According to that link you can only send money back for 3 purposes. FWIW those 3 purposes do not include the repatriation of money you have wired from your home country to your Thai bank account.

To do that I believe you need to go in person with your passport and passbook into a main branch of, say, SCB or Bangkok Bank.

There are two limits: a USD 20,000 per transaction limit (transfer over this amount requires customers to fill in a BOT exchange control form) and a yearly limit which will be based on the total amount of your annual salary as shown in your employer's confirmation letter submitted to the Bank. This letter should also specify the the term of your contract.

You cannot send out money out of Thailand unless you have brought it in.

The profit is subject to taxes.

According to BB bank website you can, also confirmed on a branch visit I made recently.

Last year a friend transferred 1200 Euro overseas to pay for a diving holiday with SCB, he had neither an account with them or work permit.

I think is 1,000,000 baht. If you have online banking, check on the top-right side of the your account page. It will show the limit amounts. These limit amounts can be changed by contacting them.
