it was never the case btw and like I say I still have an agent that can open for under 50’s so there are agents out there that can still open them but a lot are not able to anymore

@TcDj ******

I think more than anything it’s just to stop people oooenijg accounts on tourist visas and visa exempt and only allow more long term visa holders. I think if you are under 50 but have a long term visa people would be able to open them ok like your friend on the ED visa for example. I’m not sure of the ins and outs but I’ll find out

@TcDj ******

yeh something has happened recently. I have a Bangkok bank account and have had one for a long while but I always referred friends and Facebook associates to my trusty agents but like I say atm I only have one to send them to

@TcDj ******

just a couple of examples

@TcDj ******

nah a lot of my agents I’ve used in the past have all messaged me to say they cannot open bank accounts for under 50’s anymore. In fact out of the 6 agents I’ve used before for people only 1 can still do it 🤷‍♂️

@TcDj ******

but unfortunately getting alot more difficult to get for under 50’s 🤷‍♂️

Who’s going to know? Crack on………

I can categorically say I am speaking from experience here. I personally know someone who obtained a tourist visa for this very reason and was interviewed for 4 hours at suvarnabhumi airport as the IO wasn’t happy with the overstay stamps in his passport. A visa does not guarantee entry is all I’m saying and if you beg to differ that is fine

@Big****

it’s a myth. Regardless of visa or no visa if the IO on arrival wants to pick fault with your history then he/she will
