T'escric en català veient que ets d'allà que m'és més fàcil. Bàsicament hi havia xarxes de scammers, que usaven comptes bancaris per fer-los servir de mulas. Bangkok Bank va ser el més afectat i van tancar mils de comptes bancaris. Tot estranger amb compte a Bangkok Bank que no tingués un visat de llarga duració i que no fos de tipus turista, els van tancar el compte.

També han posat límits en les quantitats que pots moure etc..

Fins i tot visats com Thailand Privilege estan tenint problemes per obrir comptes tot i que en teoria s'oferien amb aquest servei des dle propi visat.

També ha passat similar amb les SIM's de telèfon. Bàsicament estant intentant netejar tot això.

You need to go and ask I opened it 1 month ago there.

Only 20 something posts in the last 30 days about this and all of the difficulty and account closures, and not even agents can help.

And there’s also inconsistent, unverifiable information, and it doesn’t bother me that the posts are anonymous. Do y’all think this is my name?

But at least there’s a label to my questions and answers. Give people the same courtesy.

Anonymous participant 498 not for bank accounts

Anonymous participant 647 incorrect , govt policy changed , and enforced. It was Gazzetted, and is being enforced, get your facts straight.

yes, they did. Even my Thai child visa accounts where frozen, until I showed at the banks (BKK and Kasi) seems they are looking at all foreigner accounts.

@Luis *********

Yes. Many accounts are now being frozen and closed

@Luis *********

yes, they changed it. Banks are very strict about it now
