Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Unlikely. Banks are now very strict and usually refuse to open accounts for tourists, DTVs, EDs visas. You may be able to open one but that's risky on the long-term.

Ask your training center to assist you. Regardless, get a residence certificate and hit the pavement.

DTV visa holders can not open a bank account.

The whole idea of the DTV visa is a long term tourist visa so that people spend using international credit cards to help boost the banking system who will earn from hefty fees and currency exchange
