Hello everyone,

I have a Bangkok Bank account. I opened it myself at a branch, not through an agent, but I currently don't have a long-term visa. This account has always been functional, and I've been able to log in to the mobile app. However, a few days ago, after I changed my phone, when I tried to log in again, a page appeared asking me to contact the branch. I've heard that Bangkok Bank is currently cleaning up some accounts, but my account has been used for some time and was fully compliant when it was opened. If I visit a branch, is it possible to restore my account access? I've searched through old posts from two months ago, when the situation first began, and I've found conflicting opinions. I'd like to know if anyone has had any personal experience with a similar situation. I'm currently traveling elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and I'm considering whether it's worth adjusting my plans to visit Thailand sooner. Thanks.

Can I open a bank account in Thailand on the DTV? I was told that some banks will not allow it.

Is it legal to open a bank account while on DTV Visa.? If my remote employer pays in that bank account after withholding taxes (which I am ok with) would that be a problem?

Hi, does anyone know how to get a Thai bank account ? What is needed ? I saw some lawyers offering it as a paid service, but was interested to know if I needed to use one or not, I’m entering on a normal tourist visa.

ps. I have a family members address I could use for the account address if needed.

May I know if house registration doc for opening bank account must be the one for the place that I actually live in?

because my landlord said he doesn’t have house registration doc for my place, but he gives me the one for his home cuz his name is in the doc. Does it work?

Has anyone on a DTV been able to open a bank account recently? I went to four banks, including Bangkok bank, and they all said that due to a recent policy they are not able to open bank accounts to DTV holders. I also asked an agent and he said the same thing 🤷🏻‍♂️
