Transferring Funds out of Thailand

Post by newtovillagelife » October 7, 2024, 8:08 am

Are there any restrictions (limits on amounts) on transferring funds back to ones home country, from a Thai bank.

A rule which, like many, is easy enough to circumvent.

I recently did a trip coming out of Thailand to .......and carried out a lot more.

At first it was difficult to get an answer from anyone at the Airport on the Departure site, as there is no Customs Office on the Departure side that you can ask.

The Information Counter sent me to the Persons at the bottom of the Escalators that lead to departure. The Persons at the Escalator sent me back to information.

I ended up going to the VAT Counter down by Row Q and explained what I wanted to get from my Apartment to take out of Thailand and its approximate value. That and along with how much cash I was caring out in USD and Thai Baht. The guy was good and said no problem, you can take out as much as you want (it was Gold). I then explained the need for the USD cash when I landed elsewhere.

I went home collected my stuff and decided I would stop and ask the VAT again. Different person (a girl). Explained what I had with me in my carry on and why and she said fine. Just tell them as you go through Xray if they ask.

Xray asked me to open my bag because I had some perfumes in it. They checked the perfumes and while the bag was open I just said I also have XXXXXX in gold for ..........and YYYYY in cash for......... Thai guy looking at the perfumes, said that OK.

Recommend you talk to the VAT Counter and explain first. They seem to be more switched on

Now transferring funds from a Thai Bank to another Bank in another Country \:D/ \:D/ say from the Sale of an Apartment has a different set of rules.
