This is why the DTV is so popular! Five years and no need to visit an immigration office!

I do know. Perhaps you need to follow your own advice and not make dumb posts 😂

@Steve ********

Way off the mark. Nothing to do with customs at all!

@Didier *******

Ive got both! 😂😂😂😂

@Matthew ********

Idiot. The OP was talking about freezing accounts. The only reason Bangkok Bank is doing this is because they're sick of agents abusing their back accounts, so they're going to weed them out. It's the bank, not immigration! Read the entire thread you moron. And it's "phase" not "faze" but obviously sub-standard education!

Never heard of it. I've got a SCB account and I get a bankbook

@Matthew ********

Talking about the bank! Read the thread! You're the deluded one! I don't need an agent

@Doug *******

That's exactly what Bangkok Bank is doing. They've obviously had a gutful of being abused by visa agents, so they're simply doing what they have every right to do. It's far from blackmail. It's a condition of issuing a letter verifying an amount of money. If customers don't like it, they can simply move their business to another bank, which is most likely what Bangkok Bank is hoping

@Jay ******

A lot of panic from those who don't meet the financial criteria

@Jay ******

I guess so. I don't know. There was a guy posted on here last week complaining he had to drive 12 hours from somewhere up north to Pattaya to see his agent to get his extension. I guess a 24 hour round trip, hotel and fuel is no hassle, whereas an hour at your local immigration office is a hassle. People must have different viewpoints on "hassle". I use CW in Bangkok. It's about 30 mins to get there, about an hour to hour 15 actually there and 30 mins home. Cost is 1900 baht and about 120 baht for the train. Somehow I just don't see that as a "hassle"
