I Went to Thailand under visa exemption from uk, last year Sep - Dec , then again Jan - April (adding the extra 30 days both times). Had to leave as "visa" was expiring and went to Vietnam/Malaysia for a week. Came back to Thailand hoping to get a flight I had booked for 2 weeks times.

Wasn't allowed entry, which now I understand why, was sent back to Vietnam then I went onwards to UK. Though I'm looking to go back with a tourist visa soon as I've just had one approved.

Anyone forsee any immigration issues from your experience?

Really? I mean will it be unlocked so quickly? 😅

Can anyone recommend an immigration office close to Ekkamai or one without a terrible wait also which time is better to go ?

Good news and possibly bad news. It looks like accounts with wrong visa type may still be frozen or closed. Let's see the full outcome.

This below from Pattaya News

"The Bank of Thailand resolved in a meeting today with commercial banks that accounts frozen must be unblocked within four business hours if the holder provides proof they aren't tied to scammers. Additionally, only funds believed used or connected to scams should be frozen and not the entire account. However this may take until the end of the month to implement.

Additionally, this is only if the account is flagged or frozen for potential scams or ties to mule accounts, not if it is flagged for Know Your Customer violations like suspected incorrect visa for foreigners, sim card, or other incorrect information used to set up and register.

However, it's a start. Full article later."

I have a non o 90 day visa and will be flying out to Thailand on the 14th October. My intentions are to open a bank account and then apply for a yearly retirement visa. What I need to know is will I have any problems with immergration when I land at Bangkok airport as l do not have a return ticket to leave.

I opened my Krungthai bank account with my study visa. I'm now on a DTV. I recently got a new phone so need to visit the branch to get them to set it up on my new phone. I'll need to hand them my passport. Am I opening myself up to them closing my account?

Something new! Bangkok bank.

Very stressful, because I have to arrange this for my retirement visa, monthly method.

With all alarming news, about BKK bank freezing accounts, I decided to do the transfer, early in the month, if something goes wrong, I can still find a solution.

Today I send, as usual, as I am doing for many years now, my monthly transfer to my BKK bank account. After proceeding, I get a few minutes later, a mail, that BKK bank refused the transfer.

Reason should be, that name of account is not correct. Ok, although this has not been a problem for all these these years, I see that on Wise, middle name is missing. I put the middle name, and Wise send it again.

It is now said, the transfer is done, and should be in my account in minutes.

5 minutes later, this time, the whole transfer is definitely cancelled.

I not know what to do here. I need that amount in my account for the end of the month, otherwise, my visa will not be renewed next year. Neither my wife, who is here on my visa.

IMPORT UPDATE

I changed the name, deleted old recipient.

Things got worse. Now it is in account in seconds. No international transfer anymore, although I put for living in Thailand.

It states DEP TRF FR E CH

internetbanking. Could that be because Wise transfer international through another bank?

I opened a BB account about 2 years ago with the help of an agent. My mobile app was suspended about 2 months ago because the Sim which I purchased at the airport doesn't seem to be registered in my name.

My question is will the bank just block you from using mobile banking app or do they actually just close your account after 30 days? The message on the app just said it was blocked but I don't remember seeing anything about the account being closed if I didn't correct the problem. The challenge is I'm living overseas and won't be back to Thailand for at least another 18 months.

Any guidance would be appreciate - thanks

I’m staying in Bangkok with DTV.

I have Bangkok bank account.

And I have my own condo in BKK

When they closed my bank account first time , they reactivated my account because I could provide condo documents.

Now why did they close it again ?

I’m really wondering their system.

I need a person who speaks Thai as an interpreter (for court case). Just for two hours in the morning. Comment your rates, we will contact you. Thanks.
