@Ray ****

most can purchase it there, at the border, those who cannot purchase it at the border are denied boarding by the more professional companies

@Adam ********

They completely dropped the ball with the accounts used by criminals and in their panic they blocked honest clients accounts invoking some imaginary rules like people whose visa expired and now are seeking new status are not allowed bank accounts.

I think they would have denied you boarding if you were of a nationality that needs to arrange a Cambodian visa before travelling.

If a war does start you might as well wipe your bum with the visa application as you will not be returning to Thailand anyway. Your best hope is that they solve the issue through the Joint Border Comission

@Colin *********

sounds like bs. Makes no sense unless be the time he divorced he was already on an overstay

@Dany *******

how about minding your own business you shill. Who tf are you to be telling others whether they need an account or not?

@Nongnuch *******

THEY WERE NEVER CLOSED

@Wannikea ********

compliance does not mean checking school attendance. Thats is left for immigration police who can later revoke your visa for not attending. The only thing the bank has to do is prevent financial crime.

When have banks in the US ever checked university attendance records for the foreign students who own bank accounts.

Stop finding excuses for BBL. They dropped the ball hard and now they are overreacting and making things even worse

banks are responsible for illegal activities such as financial crimes (followed by police prosecution and jail), not checking whether some foreigner is attending a muay thai class according to his visa, which is not a crime, but just an act that carries an administrative penalty (revocation of visa).

in the post they mention that in case the account gets frozen, you should bring your attendance records to the bank. The same bank that had no scruples in opening accounts for anyone who paid an agent.
