Will my Thai bank account be closed if I switch from an ED visa to a DTV visa?
Hello everyone, I have a thai bank account that I opened while staying with ED visa. I want to know if it'll be closed when I apply for DTV visa. Anyone Same Condition?
Answer summary
The general consensus is that your Thai bank account will not be closed when you switch from an ED visa to a DTV visa. It seems that once a bank account is opened, the type of visa does not affect its status. However, prolonged inactivity might lead to different consequences.

No - it will not be closed. I had one dormant for about 4 years with a couple of thousand Baht in and they did not close it.

random semi-related question mate. Do Thai banks generally charge account keeping fees?Greg ********

I have no idea lol. If they do it is so low I have not noticed. There is an ATM charge by some banks for withdrawals outside home bank province but I am not charged this for whatever reason.Anonymous *************

No, it won't be closed. It doesn't matter what type of visa you have once the account is open
