Kbank account (2013) & Krungsri account (2018)

Originally opened up a Kbank account in 2013 while on an ED visa. Also opened up a Krungsri account in 2018 while on a METV. Now I'm on a DTV, but the banks don't know I'm on a DTV.

Has anyone had their Kbank or Krungsri accounts closed by the banks like the Bangkok Bank fiasco?

I have a new phone and want to install the Kbank & Krungsri banking apps, but this requires going into the banks to get them to do it. Kbank requires facial recognition to be done at the branch.

I'm a bit hesitant, in case they ask me to update my visa status and if I tell them I'm on a DTV, then they might close down my accounts. Is it risky to try and get them to install the Kbank and Krungsri app on my new phone?

After a year living in Pattaya thinking of going back to work in Oz, but still visit once or twice a year. Will my Thai license and bank account be cancelled if my retirement visa expires?

I am moving back to the United States tomorrow. I have 60,000 baht in my bank account that I'm going to take out. I don't want to close my bank account because I don't know if I'll be coming back to Thailand plus it was a pain opening it up without having a working Visa. How much money should I leave in there so my account doesn't close.

I may be coming back in a year or two.

I have a bank account with Kasikorn bank in Pattaya, to do this I took out an insurance policy for 6 years and this has now matured.

My question is will the savings account remain open until I can return to Thailand and will O be able to access my savings in my insurance policy.
