ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, 

Has any of you recently applied (in-country) non-o extension using Bangkok Bank account? One of the agents told me last week that Immigration officer would not approve the application if your funds were with Bangkok Bank. Not sure whether true or not! Please share your experience. Thank you!

Several users shared their positive experiences, stating that immigration does not discriminate against the type of bank used.

An Immigration officer told me two months ago that they were having problems with Bb. I told her that I was going to use the monthly method. Last week, while applying for my 12 month statement at BB, one of the cashier's managers told my girlfriend that immigration had changed some rules. I do not know what she was referencing. Looks like both sides blame the other.

Most ppl still use bkk bank to do yearly extensions (including myslef)....your agent probably can't do his trade using bkk bank anymore ...infact bkk bank was widely used before 2025 where its the most easiest bank to get acct for tourist

The agent might not be able to use Bangkok Bank for extensions anymore, but that has nothing to do with you.

Immigration do not care what bank you use. I'd say that agent was scamming you for business.
