Hello, everyone!

There are a lot of reports of people not being able to open a bank account now even on non-o marriage visas.

Anyone had experience opening bank account with non-o marriage visa recently?

I don't understand how we are supposed to do our 1-year extension if they refuse us to open a bank account.

Hi guys l am seriously thinking of getting the DTV visa a lot less hassle than normal and has 5 years to run. I will probably do the Muay Thai course in Hua Hin. Has anyone on here done this visa and if so what are the benefits and pitfalls of the DTV. I already know about the bank problem. But don’t know how people transfer money. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Dropped into Kasikorn today to ask about opening an account because the delays with the Wise to Bangkok Bank transfers is becoming untenable. Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, I couldn't do it and was cited the only 3 visas acceptable are ED, work and retirement.

Something going down with bank accounts today. Seen several posts across the visa groups. Not sure if it’s a particular bank specific thing or what. The posts mention about the banks closing accounts of people not on long term visas.

If anyone has information as to what’s going on then please share.

Is anyone here have problems with wise transfers? In the past they've always arrived promptly, in 5-10 mins now one and a half days already? 😄

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

Has anyone experience of Dtv QR code scanning issue for bank account opening ? the banks require the valid QR code

Dont know if anyone elsehas encountered this problem. I recently tried to send my wife a small amount of money using WISE. After three days I got an email saying my account had been closed due to fraudulant activity, which is absolute nonnsense. I have spent several hours on the phone submitted a claim with them and they still have my money. I cannot seem to talk with anyone with any authority. Anybody else have this experience and any idea on how to get my money back. Disgusted by this.

All Thai banks refused to open a bank account with a DTV visa. It’s really hard to believe how they operate. Even though you can open a bank account with a visa on arrival, they have no policy for opening accounts with a DTV, which is a long-term visa. It is very disappointing to me. They still don’t accept me, even though I explained the DTV thoroughly to their bank manager 😭

Anyone having problems this week, transferring money to Thailand with Wise.
