Not sure using an agent is wise considering the next year people seem to have issues with the immigration office of their choice but good luck to you

stupid comment, some people such as myself find it a lot less time consuming to go true an agent. And there's also the aspect of using computers and printers. Some of aren't very good with those. All the agent knows exactly what is required, and that once again. Saves time.

exactly. I did my non o and extension on retirement all in one day coming straight from the airport. We'll worth money spent. In and out and good for 15 months in only a few hours. That cheap Charlie could have never achieved that on hi own. The money I make on interest easily covers the fee rather than deposit money that makes no money and all the headaches of the revolving bullshit IO give you. When I did it on my own in the past, same office always changing shit. But I do love how others pass judgement just because they never had a problem

I'm not saying all banks are perfect. I've had "issues" with banks in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. You can't change it. You have to accept it or switch banks.

Not criminal, but ignorant or negligent.

A bank customer also has a duty of care.

This includes paying attention to all messages. There are people who don't install the banking app, but certain messages are only delivered via the banking app, not via SMS or email.

You can't compare a bank in Thailand with a bank in America. Every bank has to comply with the laws and regulations of its respective country.

all my stuff was up to date like it has been fo years. They had no real reason other for me to come in and prove I was in thailand basically. They want to work as fake immigration enforcement. Its their policies that has caused them to lose thousands of customer. If an CEO in any bank in america had this problem he o she wouldn't have a job. Thank god I didn't run my company foolishly like they have. The Bot acknowledged in recent article with all the problems with thai banks. One bank did an update and erased peoples balanced an locked over a million customers. These banks wouldn't last in america for a month. But I am sure you would defend them as excellent

A phone number that isn't linked to your passport, or you missed a notification that you have to visit a BBL brunch, are just two possible reasons.

strange - rather absurd - conclusions you make. Of course I don't minimize the serious problems many have - of course I don't think "they did something wrong". And actually many say they don't have any issues.

@Kim ********
so that must make you special and all the other thousands must be doing something wrong? So glad to see people like you minimise other people's issue. Mine eas frozen for no reason. I went end and no issues with your acct everything is correct should be unlock from head office.

well - quite a number of people - myself included - have no issues with that bank
