Cashing A Uk Issued Cheque

[Monkeypants]

Hi , My wife has just got a tax refund of £540.00. from the UK inland revenue,

However she no longer holds a UK bank account, can she present the cheque to her Thai bank here in Thailand.?

Thanks

Yes, but it will cost and take time.

Your wife can ask inland revenue to pay to your account, either by direct payment or by cheque - but I think you'll have to return the cheque. It can not just be cancelled at their end.

Yes, the bank will say it will take around 5-6 weeks in my experience between 2-3 weeks.

Yes my experience too. It is I guess, the easiest way to get yr money, my bank for this was the Bangkok Bank.

I had just one experience of this in 2008; Siam Commercial said it would take 6 weeks, but it took 4 weeks; I am trying to find the old bank book but from memory it cost about 400 baht
