I’m not a tourist; I’ve been living and working in Thailand for 11 years on a long-term visa with a valid work permit and complete documentation.

Recently, I tried opening a second personal bank account at three different banks because I’ve only been using SCB, and honestly having all my savings in a single account doesn’t seem very wise. But all three banks told me I’m not qualified, saying their policies have recently changed.

I don’t really follow financial news closely, so I’m wondering: what’s going on with Thai banks lately? Has anyone else experienced this?
