Bankok Bank Message

[Rich the Robin]

Morning all,

 

Anybody receive a text message from Bangkok Bank requesting you attend your opening branch within 30 days for identity verification ?  Was your visit straightforward and other than passport/bank book & card/UK/Thai driving licence, did they require any other docs ?

 

Thanks very much

No.

No, just passport.

[scubascuba3]

Probably visa, maybe sim verification

So if you have a tourist visa they will close your account?

It might depend on your visa status. Did you open that account recently and/or on a tourist visa?

 

Consider yourself lucky that they give you 30 days, many others have reported that they found out when their account was already frozen.
