yep.. strange indeed.

thank you thats what i meant

thanks so they can ask and keep the original documents? thats my point

sad fact. bank are not doing or helping at all when you scammed. my friend (thai) got scammed via call center. they knew and had all of his info. obviously working with the government bank or government land deed. he bought a house and after a year call center scam called him and said he has to pay tax for the new house. well the thing is there is no such tax for new house. they told him he must accept the app they will send via line. he clicked it and magic happened. lost all of the money from his bank acc and 100k from his credit card. immediately he called the bank because he got a text massage from the bank about this. he said it was not him and he scammed. bank did nothing. didnt even give the name where the money transfer to. i cannot understand why they cannot give the name. All they said was the money transferred to UOB. when he said it was not him and asked for get the money back or take any action bank said they cannot do anything.. UOB was another joke. they didnt even listen to him. as you said they were with the scammer at all. went to police and police asked if he has any evidence. he cannot show anything because the app deleted and all chat deleted right after he clicked the app to install. so banki told him to change all of his passwords thats all. so i think banks are just trying to show they are doing something but they are totally with the scammers. i cannot understand and as usual... its not thai people bu farangs to blame doing scams or something like this

no they dont keep the originals. theya re the ones giving you the originals.. no any case they will ask to keep the originals.. maybe signed copies for the reason you applied. the only reason they will ask your original marriage certificate is when you get divorce. and if you lost it you should bring your police report.

liquorice explained what i wanted to post so no need mine good luck

i think banks are after people who used agency for opening acc. also i heard/read many things about banks are after scammers too. foreigner scammers. mostly from china. maybe this is also effecting things. i dont know about retirement non-o if they can open bank acc or not but yes banks ask for work permit like many many years for now. when i first arrived to thailand 20ish years ago the only bank accepted to open an acc for me was the bangkok bank (personal opinion: i hate bangkok bank for many reasons and i think its the worst bank in thailand) but they told me i cannot have ATM card and i have to come to the main HQ in bangkok if i want to withdraw money. i had bank book. i had tourist visa when this happened in my first 5-6 months before start working with thai army. i had acc & credit card with HSBC and they had a HQ at that time (dont know if they still have) they told me i can still use my acc here but i must do money movement 500K every month.. obviously it was only for business acc. my opinion again.. i think its normal that banks open acc for and immigrant visa. the rest.. no need

thank you for your help
