Why was I denied a bank account in Thailand despite having a 5-year DTV visa?
Denied bank accounts in Thailand, what's going on?
Interesting development on Friday. Went to Kalasin Immigration for paperwork for drivers license. It came up in conversation that I had been denied at several banks to open a bank account. Head of Immigration had another look at my 5yr DTV and got quiet angry. He said no, this is a good visa. He got a pen and circled the 5 year part of the visa, wrote his phone number and name on the bottom and said, if the bank refuses tell them to call me 😃. Looking forward to going to a bank tomorrow and see how it all plays out. Should be good for a laugh.

Using a fast track service does not help with any immigration scrutiny.
They get the same treatment as anybody else, you only don’t have to wait in line.
As you paid the overstay fine you should be fine as long you’re not blacklisted for extended overstay. 😊

Gerar Teuben I think you're confusing Fast Track with Safe Entry

Your overstay is irrelevant. You paid the fine and life goes on. O have lots more than one... Just enter on your DTV as a normal visa re-entry

Depends on how long your overstay was. You cannot "avoid any potential hustle " ( hastle) at immigration. Rules are rules!!!

John Villinger Incorrect. Please do not comment unless you understand the fast track vip services.

Sujy Sujaree Sorry, but fast track is not going to avoid any problems with immigration, if you are flagged for an indescretion you will be pulled up regardlees of what lane you choose.
