Anyone DTV holders with locked Bangkok bank accounts have any updates, week of Aug 25?

Wishing all of you good luck that there will be some good news on Monday and not just “account closed, wait 10 days for withdrawal”

TLDR : Answer Summary
Recent discussions among DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) holders indicate ongoing issues with locked Bangkok Bank accounts. Several users have noted a lack of updates, while others express frustration over the perceived treatment of foreigners by the bank. There's a growing concern about the necessity of in-person visits for account verification and the potential long waits at the bank, with reports of large crowds forming daily. Overall, the situation remains uncertain as users await further news.

Unbelievable — does Bangkok Bank really think all of those foreigners in line are scammers? I would think requesting customers to go in person to verify their identity would be sufficient. No need to close accounts.

What’s next? immigration requesting people to report 90 days so that they can deport them right after.

Every morning 20+ people waiting in Jomtien before it opens. Unfortunately I went later and received #59. As of 2pm they were just getting to number 14...

Going back in a few days to try again.

Did they tell you right then and there that they will be closing your account and to come back next week to cash out? They told me to wait till last Friday or today to hear what they decide but I haven't heard anything yet.

Things seem to have quietened down in the expat groups about it. Nothing from other banks as of yet.
