@Benjamin ******

did you call an agent?

@Andy *****

it might go away, like so many "new" rules. Money makes a lot of things work around any rules in Thailand

Thank you for removing the guy who insulted me, from the group!

@Benjamin ******

What I wrote is true - at least for the moment! I didn't say that this will last forever.

A similar decrete had been in effect in 2023, it lasted for 2 months and then banks went back to the old rule, allowing agents to open bank accounts on touristic entries.

Now if you don’t believe me, why not call a few agents? At least for the moment, they will confirm what I am saying

Bobby Jones I have reported your hate speech and insults to FB and the admins

@Bobby ******

Now you are speculating. Now you are accusing me wrongly!

@Bobby ******

I have very good connections, if you don't believe me, just troll on and ignore

@Andy *****

This information is from one of the largest and busiest agent services in Pattaya. . . . . it is true - at least for the moment! I didn't say that this will last forever. A similar decrete had been in effect in 2023, it lasted for 2 months and then banks went back to the old rule, allowing agents to open bank accounts on touristic entries. If you don't believe me, why do you not give Mot's or Tik Tok a call ? They will confirm what I am saying

I would never want to retire in a place that is run by a con man and a whore 😃

I received this notice yesterday:

“This has actually been the case since February 1st.

January 31st was the last day to open an account with visa-free entry or a tourist visa.

The same applies to TikTok, Mot's, etc.

As of now, opening an account is only possible if the customer has a non-immigrant visa. DTV is no longer sufficient either.

In my experience, however, this is only short-lived (there was a ban like this in 2023, which lasted around 2-3 months).

After that, the bank managers came crawling because their figures for the main branch were no longer correct. We will soon see whether this will be the case this time too.
