  1. Parry handy. Yes I have been using this method to get my money over from the UK for over 10 years from Nationwide to SCB never paid a bean in fees in all that time at either end now finished with SCB and put all my funds into Bangkok as they said they could do it but when the time come to do the transaction the visa debit they could not card was rejected- phone call to head office they were told this has stopped no more debit cards So funny enough went to the KRUNG Thai bank lol no have machine sir not my day.

  2. So you all know SCB ,Bangkok Bank, have now stopped expats etc from using your visa debit card to withdraw monies from inside the bank they were not getting anything from this service this is the reason I would think all Thai banks will or have followed suit. They want you to use ATM so that they get there rip off fee of 180 baht I will in future be using a swift transfer once a month or maybe 2,3 months at a time the fee is 20£. This bubble of a kingdom is getting so greedy.

  3. VBF. As I stated I have an account with SCB and have always paid my visa debit monies into the account they know me well in the bank after 10 years of using it so I do not have a problem like some expats of being declined because the manager does not know you.I have a flex account nationwide debit card.As I have also stated it is now the SCB policy not to allow the use of debit cards in any of there banks ATM ok of course with a. Fee of180 baht .The SCB now want you to use a credit card to draw monies inside the bank because it would be a nice little earner for them.My question to Expats who have other banks and use the method of a visa withdrawal are they having problems of a new policy.

  4. I have lived in Thailand now for over 10 years and have had an account with the SCB for that long today like every month I have gone into the bank to withdraw my usual 50'000 baht by visa transaction with my Nationwide visa debit card . I was told no sir we do not do that service anymore you would have to use a credit card I was dumb struck they showed me a letter from there head office dated the 15th January stating this fact .Can anyone tell me does using a credit card for drawing monies cost anything and also have all banks stopped doing visa transactions with a debit card? I will change banks if I can still do.

  5. My sister and law got a 6months tourist visa to the uk on 21st October and her flight to LHR was on the 27th October because of the storm the flight was diverted to Manchester where the plane remained on the tarmack for six hours passengers were not allowed to disembark.When she and her fellow passengers arrived at LHR I presume Thai and and other non UK nationals were all interviewed and bags searched this took four hours.But this is the point I do not understand although her tourist visa was granted in Thailand for 6months the Uk immigration told her that all tourist visa were now for a period of only 3 months and that she would have to change her return flight times to this.They even called her boyfriend to the immigration to explain this to him.<deleted> is happening how can they grant 6months in thai and then change when you get to the UK
