ORIGINAL POSTERHi, can I open a bank account and obtain a tax residency certificate in Thailand with a DTV visa?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Individuals on a DTV visa cannot open a bank account in Thailand, while obtaining a tax residency certificate seems possible, albeit easier if one has a bank account. The consensus from community comments suggests that while opening a bank account is not permitted, acquiring a tax ID might not be as difficult.

Bank account, no. Tax certificate? Despite all the armchair attorneys in here using scare tactics, people have been turned away from tax authorities for not having a bank account.
