Had a Bangkok bank account for 2 years. Opened through an agent. This weekend they limited access to my account and told me to come in. Manager says they dont approve DTV’s and are closing all accounts not on long term visas. They are slowly going through all foreign accounts …..

📣 VISA / BANK INFO IN THAILAND 🇹🇭💳

I’ve heard that some banks in Thailand have started closing accounts opened with the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). 😟

I’m curious to know:

What has your experience been with this visa at different banks?

➡️ Is your account still active?

➡️ Which bank did you choose?

➡️ Has your bank contacted you about this?

Thanks everyone for your feedback — it could really help the community 🙏✨

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.

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.

I want to close down my foreign currency account and exchange all into Thai baht but my account is used for my non O retirement extension,

Will I run into problems or is it OK cause I can show the 800.000 thb with the same bank on the same day are still there and available.

Please let me know if someone has done it.
