Tbf you aren’t doing anything wrong. You aren’t overstaying and no need for a tourist visa so hopefully you can continue to do so. I’m sure they only look for people abusing the system and overstaying etc
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
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
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
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 🤷♂️
