Has any DTV visa holder experienced a bank account freeze/close at Bangkok Bank?

If yes, please let me know the experience of you already went to bank to unfreeze the account.

I applied for DTV-workcation option on august 8th to the HCMC embassy. They requested for additional documents on 13th and I submitted on the same day. The status change to pending approval on 14th and it is unchange till to this day. Is there anyone who got the approval within this time frame?

A little off topic, I have a DTV and opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank back in September of 2024.

Like a lot of people yesterday my account was frozen/suspended.

Has anyone successfully unfrozen their account whilst on a DTV and if so what documents did you have to show.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

This is the second time they’ve asked me for additional documents in regards to financial evidence.

Applying in Indonesia - Jakarta Consulate

I have 10K USD and 10K Euro in two separate checking accounts (but with the same bank)

I did highlight the balance + start and end date for my documents. I guess my documents say April-August, but since I haven’t made any transactions in the account since April so there isn’t a new transaction line for anything in August.

I did include a cover letter explaining that there is money in two accounts both for the 3 month period.

Or is the issue that I have the money in two separate accounts? Looking through this group I saw a number of posts from people who were able to use two accounts - even though I know it also said one account is better

I can move the money into a single account - but then it wouldn’t look seasoned?

Thanks!

Hello

Unfortunately my application has been rejected in Hanoi

DTV Soft power thai cooking 6month course with House of Taste Bangkok

French passport

Applied 13/08

Pending approval 14/08

Rejected 20/08

No other documents requested simply rejected.

Provided :

4month current account bank statement with more than 500k baht and saving account with more than 4 millions baht

Proof of location in Hanoi (booking, stamp, google maps shot, payment receipt)

School document (DBD, Proof of payment, class example and stuff)

Since they don't provide any explanation on why they reject your application I wonder what's my next best move.

Either I try to apply from HCMC/Jarkata embassy or I maybe change course to Muay Thai, go with an agent ?

With Bangkok bank freezing bank accounts for lodgement and withdrawals at the moment till accounts can be verified in original branch. This will also stop funds being transferred for seasoning so could affect future visa applications. As not everyone is in Thailand at the moment and may not be possible to me make it in time.

90 day report - When leaving Thailand (with a re-entry stamp) I was told that you don’t report again until 90 days after your return date. Is this true?

Hello Group.

I opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank and deposited the 800,000 Baht into the account, which they told me I had to do. They’re also pestering me to open a savings account and deposit a further 100,000 Baht. I initially thought they were advertising me that any amount over 100,000 Baht attracted a 4% interest rate, so I said oh great. But have since realised, it’s a secondary account and I’ve now told them I don’t wish to open a second savings account. I’ve since had a few phone calls asking me to go in to make the deposit.

I’m assuming this is purely a secondary account and will not cause any issues with my bank account I’ve just opened ? I’ve been told I must make a deposit within 30 days of opening the initial account. The language barrier has made it a tad difficult to understand exactly what the process is. Any advice please ?

Thanks v much.

Hello!

I applied for a DTV VISA but I got a TR VISA for 6 months. I don't know why?

Is there someone like me?

And do I need to leave after 2 months or can extend in Thailand ?
