Visa update from ed to DTV in KTB.

Has anyone changed to new phone and need to go to bank (Krungthai bank ) to update the visa status from ed to dtv ? I'm afraid that can cause a failure to continue used of the bank acc bcos of dtv visa changed.

I have successfully transferred funds by Wise to my Krungthai account from Australia.Is it possible to send funds back from that a/c back to Australian account via wise?

Krungthai Bank

I want to open an account at Krunghthai Bank, because they have a branche in the village I will live from this November on. Anyone experience with Krungthai Bank?

I went to the Bank with my DTV:

So previously I had an education visa and opened an account with Krungthai. Everything works and I’ve had no problems at all.

However I wanted to move the Krungthai Next app to my new phone so I went in to ask if they could do it (because it would not let me login on my new phone without going in person)

First they asked straight away “visa”. I showed them my DTV and they were confused, speaking in Thai with each other then they called the call Center, as the visa I registered the bank account with was different.

At the end they basically said DTV holders aren’t meant to have a bank account so we can’t register you for the app on your new phone. However you can keep the bank account open and continue to use it.

So now I’m stuck with a very old phone just to use for scan pay.

Not ideal but better than nothing. If anyone has a work around or any advice I’d appreciate it. But yeah seems like they’re a lot stricter now

Any recommedation for another thai bank other than Bangkok bank for foreigners that has customer service

I opened my Krungthai bank account with my study visa. I'm now on a DTV. I recently got a new phone so need to visit the branch to get them to set it up on my new phone. I'll need to hand them my passport. Am I opening myself up to them closing my account?

My husband and I currently hold DTV visas under digital nomad category because we are remote workers. we had our thai bank accounts opened at KrungThai with our previous student visas a year ago. Recently, his Krungthai “Next” mobile application crashed because of some bugs. So, he needs help with logging into his mobile application again at the bank. However, Krungthai banks keep denying to help logging in again because of new policy or something. Does anyone know any Krungthai bank branch that is foreigner-friendly or DTV-friendly?

Has anyone open a bank account with Krungthai Bank . Was there any issues with them . Thanks

With the challenges at B of B I decided to open a new account elsewhere. As much as I support battling fraud I don’t believe the bank’s approach is of sound mind or ….. I walked into Krungthai with my lease, passport and tm. 30 minutes later I have a new bank card and an account. What was even nicer was when I transferred funds from wise they arrived in 10 seconds. The other bank was anywhere from a day to days. Nothing is perfect in life and I have to deal with the 50k per day maximum tranfer until this updates. The bank was at a loss for why B of B is operating this way. My account is still locked and once I get to the bank in a few weeks I will happily close this and never use them again.

•••• they currently have an issue and the maxium transfer is under 1000b *

Is it possible to open a bank account with a 1 year student visa
