I certainly don't go looking for complications the way so many expats appear to do. You asked a question. Several people have given you the answer, but obviously not the answer you want to hear! How about giving us a clue as to what you want to hear? 😂😂

If he's in the UK, he simply waits until he's in Thailand again, and sorts it out then. Simple huh?

It's those not following the rules who are being suspended. Sadly, it was "mafia" before, with agents and lawyers opening bank accounts and paying bribes. Now those days are coming to a close, the affected expats are crying

What are the experiences of expats regarding bank account freezing in Thailand when using agents versus going it alone?

Roberto *********

They know what visa they were on when the account was opened, so will assume they are on the same visa. If it's tourist, the account is frozen pending closure
