They must be terrified of foreigners now after the Bangkok Bank saga in Pattaya 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just found out this today even though I did an update at the Bangkok Bank branch on 27 May 2025. 🙄

I wish you and your wife all the best and hope all works out well 🙏🏼

I was in the same situation as you. I was 54 and my wife was 43. In the end, we decided to let an agent handle our situation and we pay 💰💸😄

A few weeks ago, my visa agent alerted me to go to my account opening Bangkok Bank branch to verify and update all my details. I provided my passport copy, residence certificate copy, Thai driver’s license, home country ID and driver’s licence. Signed a bunch of forms too. Basically to give proof to show I am who I say I am.

noted thanks. There’s a recent posting who was told by a Bangkok Bank staff to season in his funds 4 months before in order to get the bank statement.

thanks for correcting me. Just to be safe 4 months before renewal. I meant his finance is all in order now. I shall amend my statement.
