What experiences do DTV visa holders have with bank account freezes or closures at Bangkok Bank?

Paul *******

Anonymous participant 166 I wonder if it was when the account holder applied for a new debit card. That's usually the only time you actually need to have any interaction with your bank, once every 5 years.

What are the current requirements for entering Thailand with an e-visa after recent changes?

Pete Power Nonsense. Many DTV holders, most probably, have been living in Thailand on other visas and thus already have existing licenses. Stop making up things to suit your narrative.

You clearly live in an alternative reality. Most DTV holders have been getting 5 year license extensions. Each office decides on whether to issue a 2 or 5year license. They don't care about your opinion. Clearly, you don't know Thailand well at all.

It DOES qualify. Many members have gotten 5 year renewals on DTVs. Just because it doesn't make you happy, doesn't mean it's not happening. Don't like the DTV? Get another type of visa!
