True. BUT Elite visa gets you stamped for 1 year everytime you enter Thailand AND allow you to extend for 1 year every year if you want . Unlike DTV which stamp is for 6 months only and allow you to extend only once in 5 years. With Elite visa you can stay inside Thailand for straight 5, 10, 15 years (given the duration of the visa) if you want. It’s impossible with DTV: at some point they want you to leave the Kingdom.

Banks freezing accounts

Exactly.

Yes. Other banks are going to follow . It’s a political move decided at the highest level. Bangkok bank won’t be the only one affected.

Google it dude. It’s everywhere

@Dayna *****************

They want only tourists who don’t live here : those don’t need bank account. They don’t want foreigners living here long time.

@Dayna *****************

So far yes. But you never know here. Can change tomorrow . It’s not stable

@Ross ********

Everything except DTV, tourist and ED (education).

@Dayna *****************

DTV is 5 years visa and still doesn’t count.

@Jeremy *******

Yes. It’s a political move. Initiated and wanted at the highest level of the country.

Yes. Confirmed. All accounts opened with “agents” are getting closed down.
