I'm not sure how long it will take to get the 90 day non o wherever you choose to go but on your return to Thailand with it get a bank account opened up as quickly as you can. You must have 0 baht in that account for at keast two months in order to get the 12 month extension. An agent could help you get the bank account if you have problems but use your own money and get the extension yourself. There is nothing dodgy in doing that which might give you problems. I also recommend a Kasikorn account as people seem to be having less issues with this bank that others. I have been denied access to my Bangkok Bank account even though I have done everything by the book.

@Vicki ******

look in your passport where there will be a stamp indicating your allowed to stay to date.

@Mark *****

she can not do it in Thailand without a bank account and she will not get a bank account on a visa exempt stamp.

There is going to be a lot more business going the way of Visa agents shortly!

@Pete ******

I think he is unhappy with BB like a lot of others and wishes to transfer his banking arrangements elsewhere.

Update. They have now agreed 12 hours. I won't hold my breath.

@Roberto ********

I've had the 800k in the bank for 4 years but because my BB account has been frozen I have had to use so e of it for living expenses. Now it is likely that I will not be able to make it back up again for the 3 months required by my office to issue a new extension. In addition I am unable to check if my monthly payments are going into the bank coded correctly because I can not access the app. If they are nit I will have no other option. I cant do anything about the situation until I return to Thailand next month. I hope you now understand my former comment.

@Roberto ********

and what is happening will force a lot of others to do the same as interference with their accounts will mean they no longer meet financial requirements.

@Justin ********

that is exactly what I intend to do but Wise is now partnered more closely with Kasikorn Bank and should work well for international transfers.

@Oliver ******************

the meeting resolved nothing. It was agreed that unlocking of accounts would be reduced to a maximum of 3 to 7 days after account holders had submitted the required documents. Hardly very helpful.
