Do we need separate Powers of Attorney (POAs) for banks and court?

n many cases, yes. The Thai court will accept a general POA in the official court format, but banks and financial institutions often require their own forms to release funds or close accounts. This means that even if you have one POA for court proceedings, a separate bank-specific POA may still be necessary. To avoid delays, it is best to confirm with each institution at the outset which documentation they will accept, as requirements can differ between banks, government offices, and private entities.
