It Is fine to have just one client, many will have been approved with one client. Maybe 2 is better but not that much difference really, freelancer v remote worker.

Yeah, there are some who are using the system to get a visa. That applies to all the visas Thailand offers hence the recent visa changes including stricter DTV approval for SP. Very unlikely someone can stay 5 years on a completed 6 mth course undetected.

@Dave ********

Yep, the cost is similar with online banking.

@Dave ********

You have a current account they will keep open but close your CC account?

@Doug *******

They also have a well known FB page

@Paul ******

You are right, it is branch specific for DTVERS.

"Whilst we value the relationships we’ve built, we’ve made a strategic decision to focus our attention and resources mainly in the UK and to reduce the number of countries in which we operate. Among the considerations for that strategic decision are the varied legal and regulatory requirements that apply in each overseas jurisdiction." Existing non-UK residents accounts can be kept open with limited service

@Dave ********

I'm with Halifax and overseas, you can keep your account but they restrict the products you can use. No CC, fixed term accounts, access to share dealing etc.

Halifax allows limited bank accounts for non UK residents, not open to new expats though. I have been overseas with them for 25 years. No CC, ATM card only.

@Harry *******

I don't think 99% of posts are about manipulating the system. Many posts similar to the OP.
