Bank of Thailand overhaul tightens banking rules for foreigners
The Bank of Thailand is implementing its biggest regulatory restructuring in 27 years, targeting digital payments, cross-border transfers, and non-bank providers. Foreigners may face daily online transfer limits of 50,000 baht, automated checks on pensions and property payments, and possible account blocks or branch visit requirements. Expatriates should prepare for intensified scrutiny and potential disruptions to routine banking transactions.
