I sign up with a few carriers and get alerts.

Nope google would have told you this is not going to happen.

Some countries allow a little. But to certain nationalities and certain countries. Like new Zealand and Aussies.

I will be traveling in Feb. Mine runs out in June. They have. Three months cut off.

Bangkok Bank, Thailand’s largest commercial bank and a major financial institution in Southeast Asia, has reportedly begun freezing accounts and blocking bank cards of Russian nationals who do not meet new eligibility criteria — a move that started around May 25.

The sudden restrictions have caught many tourists and expats off guard, leaving them scrambling to access their funds and seek explanations at branches across the country.

Long known for its openness to foreigners — even allowing short-term visitors to open local accounts — Bangkok Bank has now shifted its policy sharply. Under the new rules, only those who:

• Hold long-term visas

• Are married to Thai nationals

• Or own property in Thailand

…will be permitted to maintain their accounts and continue using bank cards. Others are being asked to withdraw their money before losing access.

There are also rumors that the bank may apply similar measures to all nationalities that don’t meet the new criteria, raising serious concerns across Thailand’s diverse foreign resident and traveler communities.

If you have a Bangkok Bank account and don’t meet the requirements we advise to contact the bank as soon as popossible.
