Had a Bangkok bank account for 2 years. Opened through an agent. This weekend they limited access to my account and told me to come in. Manager says they dont approve DTV’s and are closing all accounts not on long term visas. They are slowly going through all foreign accounts …..

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around Bangkok Bank restricting access to accounts for holders of Digital Visa (DTV) and other non-long-term visa holders, citing compliance and anti-money laundering measures. Many expats, including those who opened accounts with tourist visas, are facing account closures, leading to confusion and concern. Several commenters share their experiences and insights on the matter, indicating that banks are analyzing account transactions and prioritizing stability and legit users in compliance with regulations.

You should first try to find out what was the reason for rejection. I would travel to a new consulate in another country. Just in case they rejected you because they didn't like you for whatever reason

 so everything in Thailand from paying an agent for a visa for a drivers license for a DTV for a bank account. All wrong to you huh ?

All the people on tourists visa and ED visa may get their account closed sooner or later; as a tourist you are not supposed to have a bank account in the country; don’t be surprised; some enjoyed it for several months or years including me but that was just let’s say a favor; because banks are not suppose to open bank accounts to tourists some staying in hotels (I’ve seen the case by myself of friends opening while their adress is a hotel room). If you want a bank account and be considered as a real expat just switch a part of your online activity with a real Thai company with non b visa with work permit paying few taxes every year; all serious people wanting to establish their life here did it and it gives you a real status. If you want to be expat with a cuisine class or with an online business registered in your own country it’s not gonna work; you will always be a tourist and you can use True wallet or you own bank card to live here; you pay your rent with wise directly to landlord and so on…

Bangkok Bank update:

I have had this account for several years, initially opened on a tourist visa.

Because of all the confusion about accounts getting closed I visited the local branch today for peace of mind.

They said no problem with older accounts.

For these they look at cash flow to prevent money laundering…Large amount of money in and then out again.

Regular monthly deposits and bills paid online are normal and proper use of the account.

They are contacting people by email if there account issues.

USA passport on DTV visa. Account in Chiang Mai. 5 June 2025.

I hope this helps…..I was really freaked out with all the news of BB accounts getting closed.

 Thanks for your information. Last time I looked it could only be changed by a personal visit to branch. It appears (at least for me) that I can change it via my mobile app too. ‘Personal Information’ (KYC) is also interesting. It shows both registration and mailing address. My registration address is that of my Visa Agent who opened my account. My mailing address is an address I left seven years ago. Must have forgotten to update!

 because they can! The same logic applies in reverse - why do they have to show their name? It has no relevance to anyones comment or question - ever. You are right in that sometimes context is missing to help someone properly but you can ask them for more information! The advice won’t change because their name is Nick or Andy! Anyway we can disagree - it’s all good. I just think it’s odd it bothers you - there is simply no reason to know someone’s name. I actually think the obsession with wanting to know someone’s name will just make more people go anonymous! Have a great day Andy

 Because once someone posts or comments anonymously, they can only continue to post anonymously on the same thread. Then that choice stays until one actively switches back to comment from their profile. Some people do it because they might want to speak openly, perhaps putting personal details they don't want to share publicly, or because there's a lot of abuse on some of the threads. I don't understand why it bothers people so much.

 I do not see the published information as instructions to bankemployees, it is just an explanation of bank policy. It is not a policy against DTV holders.

If you look at the 16 or so pages of transactions it was just money going in from the US and going out to the above. Again, why lie about this. I went in 830am this morning Pattaya central branch, the manager asked me if I was working in Thailand and I am not. Then showed her my DTV and she said she sees the transaction history but at this time Bangkok Bank is not honoring DTV customers as it’s a “6 month visa” if I had a work permit visa or retirement that would suffice.
