Can I get a 90 day non-immigrant O visa, open a bank account, then return home and apply for a DVT visa?
Answer summary
Yes, you can get a 90-day non-immigrant O visa and open a bank account in Thailand. However, you may face challenges with your bank account if you leave the country to apply for a DTV visa, as the bank might update its KYC procedures based on your passport status. It's recommended to consider the implications for your bank account when planning this process.

You could, and you wouldn't even need to go home. You just need to leave Thailand to apply for the DTV. But that won't keep your bank account safe. If they decide to update your KYC or you lose your ATM card, get a new phone and run into complications with the app and need to go into the bank, or any other number of things, you might lose your bank account when they check your passport.
