Same here. Got DTV visa and opened a Bangkok back account via agent. First time they froze it . Visited to the bank and showed my owned property documents.

Because I have owned property in Bangkok , they unfroze my account.

It was what they said.

And in aug they froze my account again. They took all documents from second visit again .

On next day someone from bank sent email me ( using personal gmail ) to come and sign one more document as they missed out to ask me.

Then I visited to the bank for 4th time to sign.

And after about one week they called me to close the account. So I asked them why did they unfroze my account second time. What did they say.

They can’t communicate in English and they could explain they don’t know only.

It really made me to lose trust to the bank and don’t wanna invest or stay longer in Thailand.

Since they allow 5 years visa though

Anonymous participant 143 I need to transfer my income from oversea to spend in Thailand. I’m working for another country and living in Thailand. It’s really difficult to live without bank account

Anonymous participant 104 I already checked with lawyer. I can’t take manager or other positions. I can take sharedholder and director position.

@Benjamin ********

no. They locked it again. And now they took my condo documents again and asked me to wait

Yes , they opened my account for first time when I could show my condo documents .

When they locked second time , I visited to the bank. The officer took my documents again and had to answer about my incomes in Thailand and abroad.

Yesterday I received an email (personal gmail from a bank officer ) to come and sign another document.

When I visited again today , the other officer said my account is to be closed.

What is ther system I’m wondering

Anonymous participant even in Bangkok , many places can’t accept visa / master cards even in stores.

It’s really annoying to live without bank account or using cash everywhere.

@Greg *******

they should not say 1-2 weeks if they can’t make it happen. This bank is messing up our days.

Same here. I’m still waiting for my account to reactivate.

I provided my condo documents too .

One of my friends told me it will never happen and try to get back money.

It’s too bad system of Bangkok bank

@James ******

why did you need to visit to AIS ?
