Recent discussions among expats reveal concerns regarding the closure of bank accounts opened under the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. Users shared their experiences with banks, noting that some accounts remain unaffected unless linked to specific nationalities, such as Russian or Chinese. While some expats reported successful account management and annual updates, others warned that banks might not notify account holders of issues until they attempt to make a transaction. Overall sentiments suggest that while some are satisfied with their banking experience, there is caution regarding account stability and a recommendation to consider international banking options.
