Closing Bank Account Of Closed Company.


Recommended Posts

I closed my company a year ago. It was set up in Bangkok and I opened a bank account with Bank of Ayudhya in Fortune Town. I rarely visit Bangkok these days so this week I brought all the closure papers plus passport and asked to close the account. I had previously been told you can only close an account at the branch where you opened it.

No, I couldn't. Why? Because the Government stamp on the closure paper was more than one month old. I didn't believe this. The company was closed. I wasn't going to reopen it. It would cost more than the amount in the bank to get a new paper and stamp.

OK, can I draw the remaining money out of the account? Only with the company stamp. But the company is closed, the stamp isn't valid any more. And I didn't have it with me for that reason.

Just posting to perhaps stop someone else doing the same as me. And to illustrate a great example of ridiculous red tape!
