What's all this dribble on Bangkok Bank and visas? Is this going to affect renewing my Marriage Visa with the 400k in the bank for 3 months? But BKK Bank is only providing the certificate/statement if it's been there for 4? Is this Thailand wide? It's great that there's a crackdown on people abusing the system with dodgy agents, but is this going to affect people doing it correctly with the immigration 3 month rule?
I thought we had all the ducks in a row, I have got a Thai marriage certificate stamped and certified, yellow book, Thai ID card and trying to work towards a marriage visa. Now I need to open a Thai bank account to season funds however after having been to several banks that refuse to open an account without a visa, my wife is now taking me to a Chinese bank, I’m having serious reservations about this.
Hello ! Anyone who got DTV with soft power courses experienced any issues at airport immigrations during visa runs ? Like the officers question about new courses and how the course is doing because normally the courses are 6 months long. Is it required to enroll new courses after each one expires just to extend my period of stay? i’m going to skip soft power option if it is so. It’s going to be costly.
Hello, I am still looking to find a branch location to open up a bank account on a DTV so far everywhere I’ve gone tells me it’s not possible unless I speak to an agent who wants so much money to do it. Has anybody had any success recently?
Just came to my mind, about bank accounts. Bangkok bank started sending messages to customers they need to vwrify their info, early this year.
First, I went to bangkok bank, and since my phone number was same as when i opened my account long time ago with visa exempt, they told me everything ok but i needed to go truemove to identify myself.
Just now, having a conversation elsewhere, I just realized bangkok bank wasnt interested in my visa, they asked nothing about it, only told me i need to verify my number with the operator (picture, address and maybe something else i dont remember).
So be cool, they are not interested in your visa type if you already have an account with them.
