I have a DTV visa and I opened an account with Bangkok Bank last year, i had problems making scan payments so last week I went to the bank in person, they told me my account has been frozen, I was asked if I wanted to close my account, I told them no, I have about 5000 bhat.

Im hoping the situation improves in a couple of months and simply they unfroze my account one day.

Im about to apply for a non O E visa at the thai consulate in Sydney.

I want to use my Australian savings account for proof of funds but the latest statement is dated 3 July.

I need to show 3 months of bank statements as far as I know.

I can get a Statement of Account showing the balance tomorrow but it won't show the previous 3 months of transactions from 4 July.

Will this be sufficient

?

I have been out of Thailand for the last 10 days. When I am trying to pay rent to my Thai Landlord by using my Bangkok bank account, it says " you do not have any account registered for payments (AB09) Does it mean that my account is deactivated or closed?

Just got a rejection notice from the Thai Embassy in Singapore.

I applied via the freelancer route - supplied all the documents necessary within the application form. My portfolio, my bank account showing 500,000 THB for 3 months.

I'm also a Singapore citizen applying.

I find it so weird that they didn't ask for more documents nor for an interview, but it just went from "Document Checking" > "Waiting for Approval" > "Rejected"

I'm trying to call them now to find out the reason. Should I head down to the embassy in person to ask for the reason for this 'ineligibility'?

Edit: Is there anything I can do about this now? Or just take the L and try applying from another country?

That $500 application fee hurts and I'm not sure if I would be willing to spend to try again even with Soft Power. It's ridiculous.

Final Edit:

I was just told by the embassy that I was deemed ineligible by the MFA HQ because I am a freelancer without a contracted income with a company. Kinda defeats the definition of ‘freelancer’ in my opinion, but it is what it is.

The staff also told me that things are becoming stricter and they’re approving less DTVs compared to the past.

For anyone else who is applying as a freelancer, just make sure you have yearly or permanent contracts with companies to show consistent income.

Well.. I guess I might either apply again through the soft power route or else just do visa runs every 2 months. Cheers to everyone that helped!
