Does the age of my bank account affect the freezing of funds for a visa-related bank balance certificate in Thailand?
I know the freezing of funds for visa related bank balance certificate at Bangkok bank has been done to death, but I was in my local Kabinburi branch and decided to see what they said, they told me pretty much what's already been shared, however, they then said it did not apply to my account because its older than 4 years. It will be probably different when I apply for it.
Answer summary
A user visited a local Bangkok Bank branch in Kabinburi regarding the freezing of funds for a visa-related bank balance certificate. Although the staff reiterated common knowledge about the policy, they claimed that the freezing policy does not apply to accounts older than 4 years. A commenter questioned the validity of this information, suggesting that the reasoning provided by the bank employee seemed unconvincing.

The “older than 4 years” reason sounds like the bank employee made that up. Doesn’t make sense. What do you think Colin?
