Anyone know if DTV holder can apply for work permit? Just wonder as to my understanding, without work permit, it's not possible to open the local bank account so I can use mobile to pay with QR code.
TLDR : Answer Summary
DTV (Digital Nomad) visa holders cannot apply for a work permit and are not allowed to work in Thailand. However, they can still open a local bank account using a certificate of residence obtained from the immigration office, although some banks may have varying requirements. A rental lease or TM30 (residence report from a hotel) may be needed to obtain this certificate. Some users have reported success opening bank accounts without a work permit or residence certificate, suggesting the process may depend on the bank and branch. Alternative payment methods like using a virtual visa card or mobile payment apps may be considered for those unable to secure a bank account.
