Hello everyone,

I have a Bangkok Bank account. I opened it myself at a branch, not through an agent, but I currently don't have a long-term visa. This account has always been functional, and I've been able to log in to the mobile app. However, a few days ago, after I changed my phone, when I tried to log in again, a page appeared asking me to contact the branch. I've heard that Bangkok Bank is currently cleaning up some accounts, but my account has been used for some time and was fully compliant when it was opened. If I visit a branch, is it possible to restore my account access? I've searched through old posts from two months ago, when the situation first began, and I've found conflicting opinions. I'd like to know if anyone has had any personal experience with a similar situation. I'm currently traveling elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and I'm considering whether it's worth adjusting my plans to visit Thailand sooner. Thanks.

Has anyone applied for the DTV visa via the Thai Embassy in Switzerland? Was a 7–10 night refundable hotel booking enough for accommodation proof, or did they ask for more? I plan to do a long-term contract only after approval.

Ok so I'm a property landlord in uk I earn say 4k plus as a standard income I want to move to Thailand in January 2026 ! Pattya area ! Are there any agents you guys recommend pls ! Tia

Does anyone know if I have insurance in the US and it covers emergencies anywhere in the world if I would still have to buy insurance in Thailand on long term visa. Yes I would have to pay and they reimburse. Showing enough funds in bank account to cover the 3 million policy isn’t a a problem.

Thanks

Bangkok Bank & long term extensions.

Reports are appearing that Bangkok Bank have implemented a new policy for long term visa holders wishing to get a bank account balance certificate that’s needed for your extension.

They are now requiring that you have the money in your account (400 or 800k as per needed) for 4 MONTHS prior to requesting the certificate.

This is a bank policy and NOT a new immigration rule.

I have no idea the reasoning behind this policy and at this stage it appears that it’s Bangkok Bank ONLY.

Is there a means to convert a 60 visa exempt to a 12 month visa based on marriage whilst in Thailand?

My wife and her cousin went to the immigration office - more to obtain what is needed in terms of paperwork, and the lady was extremely helpful and kind and was going to do it, checked my passport. But wasnt concerned that i didn’t have a Type O visa but the fact I only had 7 days remaining before flying back to UK. She said I needed at least 30 days remaining.

I thought mmm, i wasn’t expecting that.

Im still planning on obtaining the Type O this October/November but wondered had anyone else been successful in trying.

Does anyone have an explanation for a residence certificate that I've been told is required to open a bank account. This isn't a TM30 I've been told....🙏🏼

Can I open a bank account in Thailand on the DTV? I was told that some banks will not allow it.

Give me option for Thailand visa where I don't have to exit. One year or plus
