Why are Bank of Bangkok accounts being closed for holders of long-term DTV visas?

Nelson ******

Anonymous participant 860 everything that I've read seems to indicate that once the bank sees that you have a 'tourist visa" they will allow you to take your funds but will close the account.

Why does Bangkok Bank keep freezing my account after I opened it on a tourist visa?

Nelson ******

you're right they probably don't know which accounts were opened on so-called tourist visas and that's why they insist that you bring your passport to the branch.

I think the brand name logo doesn't change so is easily identifiable. Just use Google Translate to read the fine print. And yes stick or roll-on deodorant and/or antiperspirant is everywhere.

What should I do if my visa stamp shows one day less than my intended stay in Thailand?

Nelson ******

I have made the same mistake and on leaving through immigration was referred to a senior officer who explained the situation and said not to worry as she would allow this to pass without fine or note in my passport. Maybe explain upfront when you get to immigration.
