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?

DTV visa bank account opening update October 2024

I have the following documents:

- Thai driving license

- Residency certificate

- passport ofcoz

- My foreign bank account reference letter and bank statement

- my home country ID card

- My foreign bank credit cards

- Thai speaking friend with me

- My US company incorporation certificate - I own the company

Unbelievable, with all these documents, they all rejected me for no reason. The staffs were all rude to me. I went to all the banks in Bangkok, HQs. You name it, all the banks.

Some people at the front of the bank laughed at me. It's annoying me. I will go through with agent soon.

Does anyone being treated like this or anyone able to open bank account with DTV visa successfully?
