Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie in investing, earlier i used to trade on a website which was more on foreign exchange trade side and also accepted payment through credit card. However now i have a bit of experience and thought to register with E-Trade. My account is opened, now i have to transfer funds into it right. So i went to kaskorn bank the other day and told them to transfer money into the account etrade provided me, kasikorn first asked me what was the money for? So i said its for Goods, to which they replied they need to see an invoice. So i came clean, i said okay, its for a Stock market website abroad. To which they plainly rejected, they said that Thai national cannot transfer money abroad to buy stocks.

I contacted E-trade to ask them if they knew of any way to do this, but they cannot suggest me anything. However, they said they have a lot of Thai National customer who have accounts with them. I would like to ask if you all know any method of tackle this and tranfer my money to E-trade in Singapore?

Best Regards,

Robin V.

This is interesting as I sent money from HK to my business partners Bank account with HSBC net bank , I referred to it as investment, they then went into a melt down , wanted investment proof, (the money was ear marked for my business partner to invest), they returned the money , I then nominated business expenses as I generally do and it went through, it's all in the interpretation .
