Can DTV visa holders open bank accounts at TTB Bank?

no risk no fun 😉 Thx good luck to you too

@Markus *******

comparing jaywalking to messing with bank rules in a foreign country is wild. but sure, keep telling yourself it’s “manageable.” good luck with that.

ok miss "i never do something illegal". Never walked across a street on red traffic light? Never downloaded a movie? Never drove too fast? 😄 Again I'm aware of the risk and its manageable. And yes i hope it will get flagged too because its no big deal

@Markus *******

there’s no point explaining laws to someone who proudly doesn’t care and just hunts for loopholes. you’re in another country and don’t respect the rules here anyway. this is like talking to a door. hope the account gets flagged someday and reality catches up.

@Yhadnapa **************

yes this is theory. But in reality nobody cares and nobody will even notice. Technically when you do a transaction all the bank sees is that you are entering a code thats it. As long as the bank gets their fees nothing will happen 100%. In the worst case the account gets frozen because you did something against their TOS. WOW how terrible

@Markus *******

who cares” isn’t a legal argument, it’s just vibes. the bank doesn’t care if you’re buying pad krapao or a condo, they care whose name is on the account and who’s actually using it. if it’s in her name, it’s her account. “permission,” “POA,” or “she’s my GF” doesn’t magically change that.

and no, a “shared account” isn’t “she opens it and you use it.” a real joint account has both names verified by the bank. what you’re describing is exactly what KYC is designed to flag and freeze.

you can call it “no big deal,” but banks don’t. they don’t care what you buy, they care whose name is on the account and who’s actually using it.

@Yhadnapa **************

yes but seriously who cares. People make problems where there are none. If i buy my pad krapao with that or whatever, no one will say anything. I won't buy an apartment or car with it. It's more illegal to work without a WP then using a bank account that is owned by my GF who explicitly allowed me to use it. What if its a shared bank account and my GF also can use it? 🙂

@Yhadnapa **************

Do you have another solution?

@Markus *******

that’s not how it works. an account opened in someone else’s name is still their account, not yours. “permission” or “power of attorney” doesn’t magically turn it into your account or make it okay with the bank. when they see the mismatch, they freeze it. simple. but sure, keep calling it a “pro tip.”
