Hi,
I have been working legally in Thailand since two years and now I am being transferred to Singapore.
My question is, :

-Can I keep my bank account here with Bangkok Bank without telling the bank that I am leaving Thailand for at least two years?

-Also I have a credit card which I would like to keep and pay through my Thailand Bank?

-If I let the bank know that I am moving to Singapore for two years, will they close my account?

Please advise. Thanks!

I know people that have bank account with Bangkok Bank that live out of the country and never have a problem. The secret is keeping a decent balance in the account and make sure it reflects some type of activity either by deposit or withdraw every few months.

The below link might help some but the best answer will come from your bank.
