He should have said "non-immigrant visa". That's the bar being set by the banks

Anonymous participant 379 I'm not hysterical nor gloating. I'm simply stating facts. You seem to be getting very worked up about it all. It's obvious Bangkok Bank do not want to deal with agents going forward, which is why they've brought in their own 400k 4-month freeze. These accounts have raised a lot of red flags, and Bangkok Bank does not need customers of this standard

Anonymous participant 379 I can read English, I'm not sure if you can. If you read these forums you will have discovered that accounts up to ten years old have been frozen. I'm with Bangkok Bank and haven't been blocked! Those who opened on proper visas and remained on proper visas are ok. I know at least a dozen in this situation. I applaud Bangkok Bank for clamping down on non-compliant accounts

Not only Bangkok Bank. The others are desperate to avoid the pitfalls

It's all good! It takes a while for banks to comb through their accounts, but don't be surprised to get a call in the near future

Anonymous participant 173 As I've said before, if you're more comfortable believing you are "safe" that's fine, it's totally your prerogative. I'm only going on the experiences of people I know personally, and they were not "safe" by a longshot
