which bank do you recommend to open an account so i can arrange my retirement visa? Apparently the banks don't want to open an account for foreigners at the moment?

What banking apps are you guys using for day to day transactions?

Anyone here with a DTV visa having issues with Bangkok Bank? I'm currently outside Thailand and can't make QR payments

I opened a Bangkok Bank account by DTV. Currently the account has been locked for 2 weeks without a due date. Does anyone in the group know a lawyer to go with me to the bank to request a refund or sue? A few million baht. Leave a comment and I will dm you. Thanks

Bangkok Bank update:

I have had this account for several years, initially opened on a tourist visa.

Because of all the confusion about accounts getting closed I visited the local branch today for peace of mind.

They said no problem with older accounts.

For these they look at cash flow to prevent money laundering…Large amount of money in and then out again.

Regular monthly deposits and bills paid online are normal and proper use of the account.

They are contacting people by email if there account issues.

I hope this helps…..I was really freaked out with all the news of BB accounts getting closed.

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.

Went to Bangkok Bank, Koh Chang, this afternoon. Tried withdrawal but ATM said no. Went in Bank and they said account frozen . Had to go back with 5 year DTV visa, passport and the two year lease agreement we just signed on a house. Luckily they were happy with this and un-froze account.

I heard Bangkok bank is freezing foreign accounts . Is there any problem to us who are holding Retirement Visa?

Can anyone give me some insight on returned money transfer to Bangkok Bank, no problems before and recent transfer was returned by the bank.
