So a DTV holder cannot open a bank account. I tried all of them. Can I issue a Thai drivers license?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A holder of a DTV (Digital Tourist Visa) cannot open a bank account in Thailand, but it is possible to obtain a Thai driver's license if you provide a residence certificate and a health statement. The driver's license is issued by the Department of Land Transport (DLT), and there is no visa requirement for obtaining it. Additionally, since the DTV allows a stay of only 180 days, holding a Thai driver's license may not be necessary, as you can use your national license along with an International Driving Permit (IDP) for up to 12 months.
Yes it should be enough if you also have a receipt of your TM.30 address registration at your immigration. The owner of house should register you on a TM.30 within 24 hours of your arrival.
If the landlord registered you electronically, you should get a receipt or screenshot of the registration. You could do it yourself at the immigration if you bring your lease contract and a copy of the landlords housebook and ID-card. It’s the landlords responsibility but your problem if it’s not done.
