Bangkok Bank is winding back their online banking website. They want their customers to use the app

@Det ******

Which immigration wouldn't accept it?

Use Wise in conjunction with Bangkok Bank. This way the transfer always shows up as international transfer when you select Funds for longstay in Thailand reason

@David ********

Have you ever used your account to obtain an extension through a visa agent?

@Jeroen ************

Staff at the Pattaya branch were selling accounts to Chinese customers who were using the accounts for money laundering. Visa agents have been opening accounts in Pattaya to fraudulently assist expats on retirement visas to bypass financial criteria implemented by Thai immigration.

This is why accounts held by foreigners on tourist visas are being systematically closed down, and why accounts which show visa agent abuse are also being closed or are being frozen with the required funds held for four months to discourage agents from using their services

@John ******

I use the 65k monthly transfer method for my extensions. I'm with Bangkok Bank and have had no problems

@Philip ******

Bangkok Bank has been burned pretty bad by foreigners abusing the system. I think the bank will be happy for foreigners to move to another bank.

DTV_Begpacker I realise that, but there's no government department in Thailand which deals with the DTV, and there won't be.You obviously don't realise how visas and immigration work in Thailand

DTV_Begpacker There's no "DTV Agency" - visas are issued by individual embassies and consulates, only they can make amendments

@Michael ******

Actually he mentioned 180 days. Are you actually the thread? Is English your first language?
