Thailand question: What information does Krung Thai bank need for a transfer to the Netherlands?
My Thai wife was recently able to sell a piece of land in Thailand. The money from this is now in her Thai bank account (Krungthai bank). In addition to taking a small part in cash to the Netherlands (euros) next summer, she also wants to carry out a part via a normal international transfer (Krungthai to NL bank account). We are familiar with the rules regarding any additional costs or taxes.
The Government of Thailand's Lottery Office (GLO) has reported that more than 17 million digital state lottery tickets were sold within the first seven hours of its launch on Sunday morning (July 5).
The ten largest banks in Thailand
If you already have regular contact with a Thai bank to arrange your financial affairs, you will know most banks in Thailand. There are 35 different banks, but the list below is limited to the ten largest banks in terms of assets. Interesting to read and a nice guide for newcomers.
Have a joint account here (Doi Saket – Chiang Mai) with the Krung Thai Bank and one in my own name only. I can also do internet banking with the person who is only in my name. However, with the account in both names (both Dutch nationalities) it is not possible, or at least that is what KTB says, to be able to do internet banking.
I have an account with Bangkok bank in Thailand. Now I have to transfer the membership amount of my Elite card (visa) from the Bangkok bank to the Krung Thai Bank. I have the Bangkok bank app on my phone and can therefore transfer the money.
Have never done this before and ask advice on how to do this in practice? Have all beneficiary details.
I have had a bank account with Krung Thai bank for years without any problem and with the accompanying app I can arrange everything that needs to be paid through this app. Unfortunately the app has been upgraded and I was forced to create my app again but this time with a face identity.
