Can I renew my Bangkok Bank debit card while on a DTV visa?

Same thing happened to me. I didn't bother to get a new card, just in case. I just use cardless withdrawals via the phone app.

Oh my god. White men first world problems. Oh, you are a woman ...

You have a bank account already? What has opening a new bank account to do with getting a new debit/atm card for your existing bank account?

Just be there in time, or make sure they know your address and they mail it to you: just liek any other bank in the world!!!

I have a Bangkok Bank account from a work visa which was opened 10 years ago.

I went in last year to set up online banking and get a debit card. They wanted an updated phone number and they scanned my new visa but otherwise things were fine.

I’ve been on the DTV since October 2024.

From why I see anecdotally, they aren’t canceling Bangkok Bank accounts that were opened previously on correct visa types.

I have done it a few months ago and no issue. No question asked.

I lost my card and had to get it replaced. The bank clerk noticed I had a different passport number as I had a new one. She made copies of passport with visa and everything and sent it to Bangkok head quater.

I was afraid they might close it but nothing happened. Knock on wood

And you’ve been paying thai tax properly?

It actually doesn’t matter if you have a dtv or not, I know there was a lot of talk about them banning dtv related accounts but me for one confirmed 2 accounts at kbank and bkkbank during that whole thing. They checked and photocopied my dtv visa and that was it. That was a a year ago. 0 issues

You can avoid this issue by not replacing the ATM card, as you can still withdraw from any Bangkok Bank ATM using the cardless withdrawal feature from the bank's app. You can use the same app to pay everywhere in Thailand via Promptpay.

Its a lottery with Bangkok bank no other experiences apply, as your probably aware BB have been closing accounts on DTV, but in your favour you've you had the account 5 years and they did say they were looking closer at accounts under two years, so its not a straight no.

I replaced my debit card but have non o, extension, I tried to see if they checked my visa ext. Unfortunately, the process of registering the new card was problematical and I dont know what they did. Good luck.

Use the bank app to order a new one?

You technically don’t need the debit card. You can just do everything with their mobile app and internet banking. One way to avoid having unwanted in person contact.

Strangely enough I just today renewed my ATM debit card with Siam Commercial Bank. I opened my account with them 15 years ago when I had Non Immigrant B visa and work permit.

1 year ago I changed over to DTV as I started working freelance for overseas customers.

SCB did not even question my change of visa type.

All done in 15 mins including doing the biometric picture to use for transfers above 50,000 baht in the Phone App.
