Is it risky to update my Kbank and Krungsri account information while on a DTV visa?

Sooner or later, they'll ask you to update or verify your personal data. All banks do it with all accounts. My husband recently received a notification asking him to verify his personal data, and he has a non-b visa (both Kasikorn and Krungthai banks). If you haven't been asked to do this yet, you'll get a lucky letter soon. Be ready.

I'm curious how it will work out. I'm in a similar situation on krungthai

I have Krungsri and TTB, which I opened two years ago, and I only had a stamp in my passport (no visa). The accounts are good and I visited the bank several times with my new passport after two years, where I again only have a stamp 😊 i use bank for QR payment everyday

If you are not going to abide by the law they will find out any way and close your account i would pull money out of the accounts and update your info with bank see what happens

Would it not be wiser to tell them the truth rather than hide the fact that your visa has changed.

If you aren’t going to abide by the laws of the country don’t complain if your bank account gets frozen at a later date, if they do find out !

You will be fine if you're not Russian or Chinese.

I changed my phone last week. No problem transferring Kbank app.

95% it will be fine they where mostly targeting accounts opened in the last 2 years.

I recently went into Kbank (the original branch where I opened an account around the same time as you on a tourist visa). I hadn't used the account for years and had even lost the bank book. I had 4,000 Bhat in the account that I wanted back in cash if I couldn't keep the account.

Anyway I explained I would like to keep the account and start using it again if possible. The lady proceeded to change my account over to an account where they took all my new details and facial recognition etc. They gave me a new bank card (a boring plain one. Not like my original Angry birds one from years ago lol) and a brand new bank book. * My old bank book would have been expired even if I still had it. They also setup the banking app on my phone for me.

They DIDN'T even ask what visa I was on, they just fixed the account for me.

So long story short, Kbank let me keep my account as it was an old account and I can now use it freely including QR code scan etc

Don't be scared to go in and update. Just don't mention the visa you are on unless they ask. My Kbank branch is based in Pattaya if that also helps

I got a new phone and didn't have to set it up in the branch.

You just need your passport number and phone number (it must also be up to date)
