DTV visa holders are currently facing challenges in opening bank accounts in Phuket. Due to the classification of the DTV visa as a tourist visa, banks have become reluctant to provide account services for these individuals, citing stricter rules and regulations for account openings.

Not many are able to open bank accounts with DTV. As the BOT sees DTV are as tourist visa. So bank accounts are a little harder to open due to the more stricter rules of account opening.

Not for many months. DTV holders are not eligible to open bank accounts as a DTV visa is a tourist class visa, and banks are no longer willing to open accounts for tourists.
