Sorry liquorice , I do not understand how that advice could have helped me. My visa is due before the end of the month. I had to get the letter for 2 months statement this week. (immigration requires 2 months money block which I had done on time), not 4months. To issue the letter for 2 months The bank requires either that I blocked the money 4 months ahead which was not a rule until last week or to sign to block my account 4 months after, which I did, or I would have to leave the country next week. Yes, open a K Bank account, fine, that is what i am planning to do but your logic is wrong. BKK Bank will not issue a statement for 3 months as they would not issue a statement for 2 months whithout imposing their crap new conditions. Then how K bank would issue a statement for 1 month pushing my cash into K Bank this week ? i believe you misread my original thread or the original discussion thread. If I had known that ahead, I would not be in this situation. I would open the K Bank 3 months ago and move my cash to K Bank, wait 2 months, and get my letter, as it was planned in BKK Bank.

I just had this very unpleasant experience with Bangkok Bank, for the renewal of my family visa. This year the bank forced me to sign the attached paper I must block my money for four months after the issuance of the certificate. We then contacted immigration, who confirmed to us that this is absolutely not a government requirement, but only an internal rule imposed by Bangkok Bank. According to what the bank employee told us, this has only been in place since last week, and we were not informed in advance at all. It’s feels like having a gun to your head: either I agree to block my money for four months, or I don’t get my certificate, and I cannot renew my visa. I think this information should be known by the community to prevent others from being caught like we were. I know that for most retirees, this is not a problem because they already block their money, but for us, it’s different: I generally bring from abroad saving that i stock for the visa and to pay school fee after the 2 months retention period. And even though a retire person don't Really need their money and usually keep it quietly on their account. The fact that the money is blocked 4 extra monthes prevents them to have any Flexibility in case of an accident or anything that could happen in their life. the bank should have informed us in advance by recomended letter after it would be up to us to choose, but just forcing this to us to this 2 days prior visa renewal is outraging. As for me, i am done with that bank , No one can trust a bank that creates rules like this and puts its clients in front of this kind of fact unattended, it is like extortion.
