TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around Bangkok Bank freezing accounts of individuals holding a DTV visa, perceived as unfair by some. Various commenters share experiences, noting that banks are increasingly rejecting DTV visa holders due to new regulations aimed at preventing money laundering, not necessarily due to individual account activity. Several alternatives to traditional banking are suggested, such as using cash, TrueMoney, Wise, or Revolut, to bypass the difficulties linked to bank account openings and maintenance under the DTV visa.

It’s due to policy change. DTV isn’t eligible to have a bank account.

DTV is not a "long term visa" as per Thai Immigration rules (I know it doesn't make sense as it's good for five years, but it is what it is).

 It is only good for 360 days, not for 5 years.

That you can easily trick tye system by returning (almost) immediately does not make it a real long term visa.

 Why is everybody here so excited about having the possibility to do QR payments. I agree it would be a nice to have, but not that important to spend that much attention to.

And as far as I can see QR payments are the only thing you need a Thai account for.

 OR an ELITE visa, which is ALSO a 'glorified' Tourist visa, and same as for the DTV, you need to have it extended (not every 6 months but every year). Surprisingly, all local banks let you open as many accounts as you want when you hold that visa.

 As far as I know you don't have to leave the country on an Elite visa, which shows it is meant to stay long.

DTV you have to leave at least each 360 days. and that is not a really long stay compared to Elite visa.

 That may be the ideal scenario, but let’s be honest — not everyone is given the opportunity to explain. Many people have gone to their bank branches with full documentation proving the legal source of their funds, only to be told, “We no longer support your visa type.” At that point, no explanation seems to help.

The issue isn’t always suspicious activity — more often, it comes down to the visa itself. In particular, DTV visa holders are increasingly being denied service, with banks clearly stating that they no longer support this visa category, regardless of financial transparency.

This has caused serious inconvenience for many expats and long-term residents in Thailand, especially those staying under long-stay visas like the DTV.

If you have a DTV visa for workcation, registred SIM, tax number in Thailand and of course use it on a regularly basis, i.e for your salary (not just one month per year) there is no need to worry. Recently talked with my bank about it. The most common reasons why they close down accounts is for money laundering, excessive amount or wire transfers (wise, revolut) and if you are not paying tax in Thailand, even thou you stay here more than 180 days per year, so It's not because of the DTV it's closed down. More likely for other criterias that people not want to share when they give you their story in forums like this ..

 Thanks for sharing — good to hear you’ve got clarity from your bank. But I think for many people, it’s not just about wire transfers or tax evasion. Some had long-standing accounts, regular usage, and still got frozen just after showing a DTV visa. Banks don’t always give the full story either. So while you’re probably right in many cases, there might still be some bias or internal policy changes that aren’t being openly discussed.

 Yeah, it definitely sounds strange, but it’s actually becoming a real issue for some foreigners — especially in Thailand right now. Several banks, like Bangkok Bank, have reportedly started freezing or closing accounts held by foreigners on certain visa types, like the DTV (Digital Nomad/Long Stay) visa.

It’s not officially labeled as “discrimination,” but in practice, it feels like it — especially when long-term residents suddenly lose access to their bank accounts without any warning or clear explanation, just because of their visa type.

Some people are calling it:

• “financial exclusion”

• or even “soft deportation tactics”

 it might “feel” like discrimination but it’s not. It’s bank policy to protect the bank and its a reaction to the fight against scammers. Nearly a million (or possibly more now) bank accounts were closed because of this and the vast majority were actual mule accounts.

They didn’t close anyone’s account based on their race, class, nationality, color, ethnicity, gender, political affiliation, etc… they simply closed them because they did not have a qualifying visa. When you accept that is not discrimination, people will stop hammering you on your claim and the conversation will get to a better place.

 Tourists cannot open bank accounts in many countries of the world. Why don't you make a complaint to the Court Of Human Rights in The Hague. I'm sure that'll be your next comment. Being unable to open a bank account as a tourist is NOT discrimination. If you're so sensitive about it, just get a real long-term visa and problem solved. Easier than changing the colour of your skin isn't it?

 Wow. That’s a pretty arrogant take. No one’s asking for special privileges — people are pointing out sudden, unexplained account closures targeting certain nationalities. That’s not “normal policy,” that’s profiling.

And your comment about skin color? Completely out of line. Comparing visa restrictions to race is not only tone-deaf, it’s offensive — and says more about your mindset than anything else. If you can’t discuss serious issues without sarcasm and mockery, maybe it’s better to stay out of the conversation.

 Funny how you’re quick to talk about “real” discrimination but totally ignore it when people get shut out just because of their nationality. That is discrimination — whether you want to admit it or not.

Calling it “national policy” doesn’t make it fair — it just makes you sound like someone who’s fine with injustice as long as it doesn’t happen to them. So maybe chill with the smug attitude, kiddo.

 No-one is being "shut-out". The inability of DTV holders to open a bank account is not country-specific. I know one Australian who had his account frozen, but was able to go to his bank and withdraw the money. The simple fact remains only non-immigrant visa holders can open bank accounts. DTV is essentially a glorified tourist visa. People obtain them with a bogus Muay Thai class, a cooking course or half a dozen dental appointments. It has nothing to do with race. But as always, people who feel they are being disadvantaged will scream "discrimination". If it's truly discrimination, get your ambassador to lodge a complaint of discrimination against the bank to the relevant minister. Surely that's a better strategy than perpetual whining on Facebook?

 That’s seriously concerning. If banks are now introducing new “eligibility criteria” without any transparency — and especially if they’re targeting specific nationalities like Russians — it raises real red flags. People who’ve lived in Thailand for years, paid taxes, and contributed to the economy are suddenly being treated as high-risk just because of their passport. That’s not just policy anymore — that starts to feel like systematic exclusion.

 Glad to hear your account is still working — sounds like you’ve been lucky so far. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for everyone. Even people who had their phone number correctly registered and updated their app settings still had their accounts frozen. Some got notifications, while others were just cut off without any explanation. The reasons aren’t always made clear, but in reality, it’s mostly Russian nationals and holders of certain visa types — especially the DTV — who are being affected. At this point, it feels less like a technical issue and more like an internal policy shift that banks aren’t being upfront about.

 And your point is? The facts are the Bank of Thailand has issued guidance to tighten up who can open and hold bank accounts in Thailand. The commercial banks are following this. The bank I spoke to said they will only open accounts for people with long term visas issued by "Immigration". The main reason behind this is due to acammer accounts. There are other reasons too such as many accounts are just not commercially viable for to them for foreigners to hold.

• Race or ethnicity

• Gender or sex

• Age

• Religion

• Disability

• Sexual orientation

• National origin

• Social class

It occurs when people are denied opportunities, rights, or fair treatment because of these traits rather than their abilities, behavior, or qualifications.
