Hi everyone, just wondering if there are any DTV holders here who work remotely and already own a condo in Thailand?

Have you had any luck opening a bank account?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation highlights the challenges faced by DTV (Digital Tourist Visa) holders in opening bank accounts in Thailand. While some users report mixed experiences, a comment mentions that DTV is considered a tourist visa, limiting eligibility for bank accounts. One user confirmed their banking issues connected to their DTV status despite owning two condos in Pattaya.

DTV sucks. I own 2 condos in Pattaya and my bank account which I used to buy these condos just got closed by the bank.

Reason given : I’m on DTV , which is legally considered as a tourist visa as they told me !!

Have a search through previous posts. The results are mixed. Usually people already owning a condo kept their account but not all cases.

You’re not eligible to open a Thai bank account on a DTV as it’s a tourist visa not a resident visa.
