Has the situation changed at all with Bangkok Bank closing down accounts of DTV holders?

My debit card is about to expire, and I’ve been avoiding showing my passport at the bank. Will they likely shut down my account if I go in to renew it? Anyone have experience with this?

Hi everyone,

I received a message from Krungthai Bank asking me to update my CRS/FATCA information. I am not a U.S. citizen and I currently hold a DTV visa in Thailand.

Recently I deposited 20,000 THB into my account (cash from my home country bank withdrawal). Could that be the reason ??

Has anyone experienced something similar?

What will bank do ? Will they close my account ? And charge me tax ?

I used to have students now switched to DTV

Thank you 🙏

Is there anyone who had faced bank closing after updating face scan at Kasikorn Bank? Some said No and some said yes.

And again - Bangkok bank problems. A freind of mine who now lives in the uk has had his Bangkok bank account frozen. He opened it circa twenty years ago when he used to do business in Thailand - but now only visits as a tourist. He now wants to just close the account and take the money in it out. However has been told as it’s frozen he can not close it! Question is what can he do?

Did anyone can open bank account with non-o spouse visa recently? (Married to a Thai )

On beginning of July i went to Bkk bank and Kasikorn bank branch in Phuket in order to open bank account for my husband. But the bank staff insisted they only accept non-o retirement visa or work permit. It’s really hassle now 😥

Thank you for every advice 🙏🏻

Hi folks, I have a question about Bangkok Bank😅. I haven't received any communication either on the app or via email or text stating that my account is locked, but I'm unable to make transfers or top up my mobile service. Although I can still receive money into the account, I'm unsure if it's locked or temporary. Has anyone experienced this?
