I agree however it also prevents me from getting an account om my ED Visa would make things a slight easier and take away so much fees every month. It is what it is

ah well thats on them cause so many in here said ine day their bank froze their accounts and waiting weeks to get it back meanwhile the immigration office said they were restricting bank access to DTV to fight fraud and illegal activities this was back in june - july

Its not the bank its thailand changing requirements and security measures. They will go through with it. At least you were given this heads up as most people on DTV were not given the courtesy of a notice and one day got their accounts frozen
Andrew ********
You will not get an account on a DTV new rules

actually if you stop working you dont meet the requirements and they are cracking down on this. Reports have been made that they are checking at the airports mostly if the funds are avaible as required ( not common yet but has been asked ) so I wouldnt say just quit working

from what I have seen with bank accounts is solely dependant on visa you hold your assets can assist you in getting visa as I mentioned. Marriage visa seems to be the quickest way to get a bank account my understanding it comes with an income requirement like retirement

nope none that I know of owning property has no affect on bank accounts or visa you can own land on visa exempt however owning land does count to a few visas for example the LTR 10 year visa the account for ownership or investment into thai economy but that is for high end earners like in the millions - in thai baht
