it was because it's the only bank that allows foreigners to open acct with tourist visa NOW they are filtering those genuine long term visa holders against those that shouldn't have acct at all .....only those that are affected are making lots of noise
Have you consider the nonO retirement visa? With less requirements....you just need to extent it every year.....I'm married to a thai but I'm still using the nonO retirement route less hassle
Some ppl have done all that without spending a dime but it's up to individuals.....be very careful when engaging agents.... someone got scammed and luckily got back her money after making police reports
I would go out of thailand and come back only after the extension expires.....come in as visa exempt and start the process again on your own since u already have 800k ....start applying for initial 90days nonO(most office dont need the funds to be seasoned except jomtien) do the 1yr extension when u have less than 30days of the nonO
Your initial nonO is only 90days it's not feasible to pay for multiple re entry(3800baht) if u really need to travel during your 90days just buy single re-entry (1000baht)....after u get your extensions for 1yr then u buy the multiple re entry which have the same validity as your extension if u need yo travel often
