Bangkok Bank update:

I have had this account for several years, initially opened on a tourist visa.

Because of all the confusion about accounts getting closed I visited the local branch today for peace of mind.

They said no problem with older accounts.

For these they look at cash flow to prevent money laundering…Large amount of money in and then out again.

Regular monthly deposits and bills paid online are normal and proper use of the account.

They are contacting people by email if there account issues.

USA passport on DTV visa. Account in Chiang Mai. 5 June 2025.

I hope this helps…..I was really freaked out with all the news of BB accounts getting closed.

Read my post from a few days ago.

This is NOT correct information.

Fabulous ID photo

Maybe they want the 500K in the main bank account for more than "a few days"…..

This looks like spam….delete it

I used the LA consulate for remote worker.

I only submitted one month of the bank account (it was way more than the requirement) and that was sufficient.

I turned on the map app on my iPad and took a picture of the blue dot showing location with the phone. My driver’s license is also in the picture. This was accepted by the Los Angeles embassy. Kap

Unfortunately Bangkok Bank does not support True Money and it’s not easy to get a new account at Kasikorn….

@Alan ****

no…..

@Adam ********

this is what I was told Thursday at the bank.

I went there because most of my time is spent outside of Thailand.
