Unblock Thai bank accounts
for foreigners
Frozen account, a KYC request or a police hold? Our Bangkok team finds out who restricted your account, prepares the documents in Thai and works with the bank and the police until you get a final answer.
We help with Bangkok Bank, KBank, SCB, Krungthai, Krungsri and other Thai banks.

Identify your case
Choose the situation closest to yours and send it for a free case check. We will tell you who can lift the restriction and what usually helps.
Account frozen
You can’t withdraw, transfer or log in, and the branch won’t say why. First we find out who restricted the account: the bank, the police or both.
Check my case →
KYC and compliance review
The bank asks you to update your passport, visa or address, or to come to the branch, and limits the account until you do.
Check my case →
Source of Funds request
The bank wants proof of where a large or foreign transfer came from: salary, a sale, a contract or exchange receipts.
Check my case →
Police or cyber police freeze
A hold ordered by a police station or the cyber police, often after a disputed transfer. Usually the officer has to send a release letter to the bank.
Check my case →
Crypto and P2P freeze
Frozen after a P2P or exchange deal: the sender’s name didn’t match, or the other side of the trade filed a complaint.
Check my case →
Account opening refused
The bank refused you because of your visa, missing documents or an old hold on another account. We find out what is blocking it and explain your options.
Check my case →How it works
Six steps from your first message to a final answer. The bank and the police make the decision. Our job is to make sure your case reaches them complete, clear and in Thai.
Free case check
Send the form or a message: which bank, when it started and what the bank or the police told you. You usually get an honest first assessment the same business day.
Written quote and plan
We confirm the package, the price, the expected timeline and any possible third-party costs in writing. You pay only after you agree.
Finding the real cause
We contact the branch, the bank’s compliance team or the police officer to learn why the account is restricted and who has the power to lift it.
Documents in Thai
We prepare the explanation letter, the source-of-funds evidence and the translations, and give you a short checklist of what to bring.
Visits and follow-up
Within your package, we go with you to the bank and the police station, speak Thai for you and follow up with the officer and the bank for up to 30 days.
After the final answer
If the account is released, you get simple rules to reduce the risk of a new freeze: matching sender names, receipts for every exchange, clear transfer notes and sensible limits. If not, we explain the next options.
Recent cases
Real cases from 2026, anonymized: what happened with the account, what we did and how it ended.
Two-year police hold from Ayutthaya
The officer had stopped replying and the client’s previous lawyer got nowhere. We made three trips to the police in Ayutthaya with an explanation letter and evidence in Thai.
- Outcome
- Unfrozen, ≈ 5M THB
- Timeline
- About 1 month · our work: 4 days
- Action
- Police visits + letter in Thai
- Client
- Work visa, from China
Release letter lost between police and bank
The cyber police agreed to lift the hold, but the branch kept saying it had received nothing. We connected the bank and the officer by phone until the letter arrived.
- Outcome
- Money withdrawn
- Timeline
- Our work: about 2 months
- Action
- Cyber police visit + follow-up
- Client
- Couple from China
Hold from a police station 500+ km away
We flew to Udon Thani, met the officer and found the disputed 40,000 THB transfer. The complainant had already been refunded, so the officer issued a release letter the same day.
- Outcome
- Account unblocked
- Timeline
- On-site work: 2 days
- Action
- Provincial police + cyber police
- Client
- Privilege visa holder
Every case is different. Past results are examples, not a promise: timelines depend on the bank, the branch and the police officer.
What clients say

Who handles your case
Mike Boldyrev
Founder and head of Unblock Thai Bank and UnblockPro.Asia. 14 years in Thailand, 10 of them as an interpreter and representative for foreigners at banks and police stations.
Start bank case →
At Thai banks and police stations I saw the same story again and again: a frozen account, a branch that answers only in Thai, and months of “come back later”. Unblock Thai Bank grew out of those cases.
Our team finds out who restricted the account, prepares the documents in Thai and goes to the branch and the police station with the client, or on the client’s behalf. I set how our team handles every case and often meet police officers in person.
Many freezes start with P2P or exchange transfers. I have studied how P2P exchange works, so I can explain a client’s transactions to the officer clearly and calmly. We work only through official procedures: we never bypass bank compliance and we never promise a result that only the bank or the police can decide.
I speak Thai, English and Russian, and conversational Chinese. For complex conversations in Chinese, we bring in Thai interpreters with native-level Chinese.
