but account was just validated in early July after the initial suspension, so don't understand why it's suspended again... Very frustrating...

2 yrs.

@Max ************

it's suspended completely. No withdrawal at counter, no withdrawal at ATM, no interbank transfer between original BBL at BKK account to new UTH BBL account. But can remit money into the account, but cannot remit money out via app, counter or interbank.

Totally frozen inside out! This is personal experience just from last week.

How is this legal? Them withholding our funds hostage even after verification?

we tested, inbound transfers OK. Just outbound is suspended.

bank account suspended second time . Visa was renewed after validation of visa and passport a month ago.

@Cris *****

it affected exiting visa holders for sure! My friends just validated and renewed their visa just one month ago! And now it's suspended again!

@Kevin ********

no way this will happen in financial hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong, London and Switzerland etc. This is so autocratic!

@Sue *********

we didn't ignore the messages. Actioned on it more than a month ago and went down to the branch and matched SIM name to bank account name, did facial recognition as well. One month later, BBL suspended again with the same message. Yet bank can't tell why it's suspended. This is totally unacceptable!

4 of my friend's BBL was suspended back in July. When they opened the account a year ago, they were on tourist visa. With the tightening of rules, bank wanted to verify they have a valid long term visa. They showed their retirement visa and it was unlocked immediately.

@Brook *******

just curious about what sort of renewal hassles there are for Thai Elite?
