They add requirements all the time. Different Offices just introduce their own rules.

Why do tourists need a bank account ?

Banks (worldwide) have claimed down since well for a good few years now. New banking regulations worldwide due to money laundering, fraud, scams and illegal workers and businesses. Its not something new right now. Bangkok bank weren't supposed to be opening accounts for tourists but turned a blind eye to the rules.

It's valid for 5 years as long as the program isn't scrapped.
