Questions:

1) If an account is closed because you don't t meet the requirements, is the remaining funds returned?

2) What are the possible reasons why a bank keeps a customer's money after closing the account?

3) Is the refund immediate, or does it take days, weeks, months, or years?

Thank you for your answers, great as always.🙏🙏

Did Bangkok Bank notify you in any way? Or just your card and scan stopped working?

If they closed your account...do they let you transfer it to another (foreign)bank?

If you get cash...where do you move it to and how?

Thank you for any advise.

I didn’t think it would happen to me, but it happened to me! My Bangkok Bank bank account, opened about a year ago, is going away. I opened it on a DTV visa with my girlfriend at the time who is a businesswoman who vouched for me, and I’ve been using it ever since for day to day use. They called me into the branch and said sorry, and that I could keep it for 30 days until I switched visas, or otherwise they would have to close the account. They also said they were going back 6 years closing accounts! So if you think you’re safe because you’ve made it this long, sadly, I don’t think you are. So start planning now, as your time will probably come!

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?

Anyone DTV holders with locked Bangkok bank accounts have any updates, week of Aug 25?

Wishing all of you good luck that there will be some good news on Monday and not just “account closed, wait 10 days for withdrawal”

Has any DTV visa holder experienced a bank account freeze/close at Bangkok Bank?

If yes, please let me know the experience of you already went to bank to unfreeze the account.

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 …..

📣 VISA / BANK INFO IN THAILAND 🇹🇭💳

I’ve heard that some banks in Thailand have started closing accounts opened with the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). 😟

I’m curious to know:

What has your experience been with this visa at different banks?

➡️ Is your account still active?

➡️ Which bank did you choose?

➡️ Has your bank contacted you about this?

Thanks everyone for your feedback — it could really help the community 🙏✨

I just received a message from my bank saying that my account has been blocked and will be closed because it was opened under the DTV visa. Has anyone else experienced this?

The account was opened in November at Bangkok Bank.

Dont know if anyone elsehas encountered this problem. I recently tried to send my wife a small amount of money using WISE. After three days I got an email saying my account had been closed due to fraudulant activity, which is absolute nonnsense. I have spent several hours on the phone submitted a claim with them and they still have my money. I cannot seem to talk with anyone with any authority. Anybody else have this experience and any idea on how to get my money back. Disgusted by this.
