Letter of Reference

Featured Replies

Dear All, i am UK citizen & i arrive in Thailand on 2nd June - with a plan to stay for upto 12 months - so i need to open a Thai bank account. The Website for Bangkok Bank states that i need a "Letter of reference" - from my home bank to the Bangkok bank - via the Swift messaging Network. Is this something that is actioned when i am in the branch of Bangkok Bank applying for my account - or is it something i need to arrange before I leave the UK ?

thank you for time reading/replying.

First a couple of questions:

 

What Visa will you be arriving with ?

 

Can you post a link to where the bank asks for a Letter of Reference ?

 

More details would be helpful in helping you.

Hi Tonray - thank you for the reply. I will be arriving with a Tourist Visa.

the link to Bangkok Bank is below - in the section for open an account for foreigners- bullet point 2 - states : Long Stay or Tourist Visa - with passport & one additional document.
