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.

Peace out 😘

I hope this falls I to the everything else category.

I have been in the UK since April and have had no issues with my Bangkok Banking app for the three years I have had the account. Today I tried to open the app and was presented with the message below. I am somewhat surprised because I bought the sim card I use in 2019 and opened my bank account in 2022. I certainly did not use anyone elses name to get either. I have rung the number and spoken to someone about the issue and they say I have to go to my local branch to sort it out. As that is over 6000 miles away I explained it wasnt possible! I also explained that now I am unable to pay my rent or for utilities and other things. He told me he would look into it and would contact me within 5 days by email. I dont hold out much hope. I also need to transfer money back to UK as the cost of living here is horrendous and I cant return to Thailand until October.

Has anyone else had this situation and found a way to get around it from abroad? I am aware that it has happened to others but I thought I was safe as I had both sim and account in my name?

Has anyone been asked to show your bank account upon your first entry? Or at reentry?

I know it’s really up to the officer but I just wanna know what happens more often

Hello, just received a text from my Thai bank requesting urgent information regarding CRS. I am not from the US and Ipay all my taxes in my home country. Do I need to do anything as it requests I contact them. Thanks

Edit Update: Thanks for all the replies. Just been to my bank and it was a genuine text I received. I had to take in my passport, bank book, tax number in my overseas country and proof of Thailand address. They filled in the forms which took 10 minutes in all. Good luck if you need to do this.

My husband and I, US citizens, want to get METV’s and we need to show $7000 per person in a bank account. I have multiple bank accounts in one bank. Together they are greater than $7000. Can I show this for a visa or does one account need to have $7000?

If we choose to show an account that is greater than $14000, and we show our marriage license, does the account need to be in both our names or can it be in just one of our names?

Thank you.

How do immigration check you have your 800k in the bank for 3 months after visa issued?
