Hi Guys, I'm a fairly new online entrepreneur living in Thailand and I'm expecting my first amazon associate check this month. I know there are a lot of IMers here in Thailand and I was wondering if I can get any tips from amazon associates living here in Thailand about chasing your amazon associate checks. More specifically:
1. How long does the check take from amazon to your mailbox in Thailand? (This is not so important since It will eventually arrive anyway)
2. Which banks refuse or accept the amazon check? KBank, Bangkok Bank, etc. (Very convenient to know which may save me from hopping from bank to bank)
3. What are the bank fees if any?
4. Are there any forms that are needed to be filled out before cashing the check?
5. How long did the check clear?

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks

    Kinda of the topic but how do you like living in Thailand and running your business. Im thinking about making that move myself someday but starting a couple product based companies before to set myself up. Good luck with your amazon adventure.

    From your comments/questions, I assume that you are awaiting payments from your participation in the Amazon Affiliate Program, as I think that this is the only way Amazon will pay out monies without having an USA Bank account ...

    If you like to be active within the Amazon Marketplace as an IM/seller (incl. Dropshipper), it is required to have not only an USA Bank account, but also a US tax ID (either SSN or EIN) plus Reseller (Sales Tax) permit - in other words, Amazon will not forward payments abroad, but only into US bank accounts (or European Bank accounts, if you should do business there) every 2 weeks (after holding your monies first in the beginning for about 60-90 days)...

    Hoped that helped a little

    Thanks for the reply. I think I misused the term IM since I am new to this world and don't know the correct labels.
    Yes, I'm just a member of their affilliate program and not planing to join their marketplace.
