I bank with both Barclays and Nationwide and have no difficulty operating their internet sites from Thailand, or anywhere else for that matter.
Thank you for all the replies. Your reply in particular is of interest 'rodentwarrior'. Did you open the Barclays on-line account whilst you were resident in Thailand or before coming here? I tried from here after waiting on the telephone for them to answer for ~45 minutes one day last year and was told by the person on the phone "Why don't you open an on-line account?" Great I thought I will do that, but when I tried I had a letter back saying they could not as I was resident in Thailand. When I visited the UK I tried again by visiting them in the local branch and again received mixed messages, only to leave empty handed. Your experience and anyone elses who has an active Barclays online account might well help.
Thank you

Remy, fact is i did not know anything about visa overstay, however this is no concern of mine. Do you know him or what eventually happened, where is he . I guess there are many overstayers in los, but this does not make them bad people. Just fools chancing the odds.
According to the link below he has been extradited for reported "fraud and money laundering". IF he is guilty then good, but I suppose that has to be proved first. This "nice, rather quiet man" could well have been someone involved in numerous scams on innocent people around the world (boiler room operation?). I admit that I have no idea of any facts apart from what is shown in the link. However, if he is guilty I hope he gets what is coming to him and that if he is innocent he is allowed to return to see his Thai wife and family.
The jury is out.
