Is this your first 90 report, if so 90 days after your Non-O expired. If not 90 days after your last report or 90 days after your last entry.

You need a Non-O Visa to open a bank account so enter with that

@Robert *******
Have you read the last sentence of my post? To add to that many of the recent "frozen" accounts have been because the name of the account and the name on the Thai sim do not correspond so needed to be verified.

No, only long term visa holders can open a bank account, what happens once it is opened doesn't matter, it was opened correctly under the current guidelines

@Andy *********
How will the bank know what your future visa status is after they have opened the account based on having a Non-O? The accounts being "closed" were opened on a tourist entry stamp (including DTV in some cases).
Graham ******
@Ossie ********
some people on DTVs are reporting getting their bank accounts suspended, but you don't mention that

@Jodie ******
No they don't, all visas are valid from the date of issue and up to the expiry date of 90 days or 6months for tourist visas and 90 days for Non-O visas.

Why is it nonsensical to have a line printed in your pass book with the balance meeting the requirements dated the day you make the application?

It was abused years ago with many fake marriages so, as a result, the process has been tightened up considerably. We now reap the consequences.
