understand and agreed. What if I am out of the country but can not come back to Thailand within the permit date? For example, my visa will expire 10. November 2025. And I leave Thailand today. But something happens to me in the meantime, so I can not back to Thailand to renew or extend or cancel my visa by 10.Nov.2025.because I am not able to be in Thailand in time. So, what will happen to my visa? When I am back to Thailand, let me say, January, my visa is already expired. I need to apply new visa? or shall I be back to Thailand on tourism visa and cancel it at the immigration although it is already expired? then can I apply a new one?

not possible to hire an attorney as represent of him in Thailand? Not everyone is able to come to the bank in person. Some situations. Normally, on behalf of someone, a lawyer can be act for him.

I think Bangkok bank has one system. All branches are all in one system of bangkok bank. So that is why one account of you in a branch is frozen, then automatically another one is frozen too. Well, I guess, you can not open another account in another bangkok branch. Try other thai banks?

I would have service of visa, retirement extending for one year.. Could you please give me your price for this? or you can pm me. Thanks

yes it is by law. as we know, reality and law in Thailand lay very far from each other. That is why such frozen account issues have been exploded. The banks and immigrations or any kind of authorities did it even the law said No. And cracked down. and they do it again. Crack down and do it again. like this. The law says A, but the bank says B. otherwise no. so we foreigners have no other choice to do B. even we do not know what exactly the law in Thailand says. Yes foreigners are like kids in Thailand. Then, we do B as the bank said. and later, crack down by the thai authorities. Bank changed his mind and say We do A. So people who did B are frozen and closed by the bank. And foreigners account in the bank were frozen and closed. And later, bank still do B back. and crack down again. over and over. Here my conclusion. everyone use a good calculator in which is better for own. and go it and pray for no crack down or change again. That is what we can do.

applying seems to be no problem for me. Because it is your money in your name account. You just can not use your money when frozen. But it is still your money. logically immigration has nothing to do with what bank does. Even, bangkok bank has new rules for retirees who have bank account there for the immigration. the deposited money in the account is to be frozen for 4 or 6 months and after that two or three months still frozen.. But still you can get bank letter and statement for your money there from the bank.

why did you bank in UK not send your money to Thailand????

@Frank *********

yes, it is like crackdown of illegal driving foreigners and bad ass foreigners who do only violence and stupid things in Thailand. Thailand cracked down this on and on. And still ongoing. But, nothing has been changed much at all. Still stupid foreigners around and doing illegal business and illegal things as well.

@Maitin ******

exactly! our health and enjoyment are much more valuable than money. And actually who can not pay for agent fee, like some 10K, Thai people will not welcome him in Thailand. So they called them cheap Charlie farangs. Thailand is not a place to save money but spending money.

@Daniel *****

Actually not. Only who can pay for the agent for whatever reasons can use Agents. If people have a lot of money, why they waste your gold time for such headache things? Yes, we pay a lot for agent to save our energy and times for ourselves. Time and energy is more worth than money, only Rich people think like this. If you have no money, of course, you must do it by yourself. While you run to the bank and immigration office several times and waiting for hours every visits, and very probably struggling with bankers and immigration officers for days or weeks, we are enjoying our life and doing something for our health and joys in peace. Good luck to you.🤣
