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.

Hi friends

I have very disturbing problem.

I can not use My bank cards for online to buy ticets or something else.

Bank sending one time code to my Australian or Turkish phones.

But here I use an Thailand number and I can not reach my phones to get code.

I have sim cards of both phone numbers.

You guys having similar problem like me?

I really appreciated for your advice .

Ok so I arrived a week ago in chiang mai 2 days later I bought a new phone, now i have a thai sim card and carn’t get on my virgin money account as i need to transfer money for my retirement visa, so I’ve been in touch with virgin money and im going round in circles now because I carn’t get on my account they say i need a uk phone number to access my account!! And the phone ive got now won’t let me ring out of Thailand to sort this out… anybody else have problems like this?

Dear foreigner friends...

Don't you think "QR Code payment" is giving more options to pay for foreigners?

Please help me fill out this form below to prove some assumptions in my study.

Looking for help please, trying open a Thai bank account . Seems like im.getting the run around at these Thai Banks. I have an O-A visa , went to SCB and told me i had show that i was retired and i explained to them its a retirement Visa. They said it wasnt and wanted something said retirement on it. Any suggestions or ideas . Thans for any help

Hi. I have a quick question at the end of this, but thought I'd share a quick message from my trip to Immigration yesterday (Friday) to renew my Non Immigrant O Long Stay visa (retirement visa). I've done this twice before, successfully, but ran into a wall yesterday. Thought I had everything I needed, you know the list. I got the bank letter from Bangkok Bank, Silom, the day before (Thursday) and asked them to update my bank book. That turned out to be the problem. I hadn't updated it since last May, and at the bank they only included transactions from Feb 2021 to now. Seeing the three new pages of updates, I didn't really check the dates. I "assumed" the bank book now had all of them since the last time I did an update. Yes, everything else was in order but because the bank book had "a gap" with no printed transactions from May 1, 2020 to the end of January 2021, I was denied (even though my balance has never fallen below the 800k requirement). I tried downstairs to get a full-year print out but, unlike many other banks who will do this the same day, Bangkok Bank said it would take 3-5 working days. My visa is up on May 4th. May 3 and 4 are bank holidays. Time is not on my side. I screamed on the motorbike back to the Silom branch and basically wouldn't leave until they agreed to try and get me a printout (after many times of "I'm sorry sir, can not").. Anyways, I got the print out at about 5pm. So, remember that, regardless of any other statements, ATM receipts the same day, etc,, it seems we need ALL the transactions of the last year as part of what we submit. Now my question: I will return to Chaeng Watana on Wednesday morning, one day late but the immigration lady said no late fee because of the holiday closure. But now my bank letter will be exactly 7 days old. I've read its good for 3 days, 7 days, 2 days, 4 days. Any idea? And if I need another one, does anyone know if the Bangkok Bank downstairs at Chaeng Watana will issue one? I could go to Silom branch before i go to immigration but it would be cutting it close as I really need to be back to downtown by 2pm.

Whatcha think? And thanks for listening : )
