Can a DTV visa holder open a bank account in Thailand?

Do not expect to get a bank account until you have stayed at least 3 months.

Reconsider if a Thai bankaccount is need-to-have or nice-to-have.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable custormers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so even depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Wont know if you don't try banks are funny some are happy to help others say no with all non permanent visas it's pot luck. Good luck

just try diff bank and diff branch..

Depond on which banks you open.

Probably can once you have a Residence Certificate from Immigration and a long term lease. However in Bangkok you cannot get a Residence Certificate until you have completed a 90 Day Report. As the other guy said. An Agent can facilitate this without the requirements.

NO unless you get a visa agent.
