Great write up.

@Biff ******

in any crisis an overcorrection is required. That response must be planned and at the correct level. They do not even seem to have calculated volumes involved and processing time. This is leading to the unintended consequences we are seeing.

@Biff ******

This has been handled atrociously and by one bank in particular. No idea of the processing time and clear guidelines it is quite obvious.

PS: Did you also read this want an initial report from The Pattaya News? Not exactly a news source of record. FFS

@Malcolm ****

There were never any laws about which visas were allowed to open bank accounts. It was up to each bank and often delegated down to branch level. Some banks now seem to be changing their own rules which they can do.

KYC is different to "Visa Violations" Do keep up at the back. Do I need to explain it to you?

@Lisa **************

That is a preliminary report. What do you mean about "Visa Violations". Not even mentioned.

It is a wait and see right now. :-)

@Kieran ******

My main bank which is not BB has not asked for any updates. They last updated all of my details in May when I changed address at the bank.

@Kieran ******

BB had more issues than others though. This was both in volume and bank staff facilitating scam accounts. My BB account is my secondary account used for Grab and beer money. It was opened on a visa exempt in 2017 at the BB Branch with the most current issues ie Pattaya Klang. Touch wood it has never been frozen or any updates asked for. They know my visa changed to Retirement.
