Can I open a bank account in Bangkok with a DTV visa?

Only very few, but you are not supposed to be able to opening a bankaccount.

Reconsider if a Thai bankaccount is need-to-have or nice-to-have.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable custormers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so even depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Find an agent, pay the 5k, go with the agent to the bank and sign 100 pages... finished

Dude, you've been in this group over a month. Surely you've seen this same question dozens and dozens of times. Nothing has changed

Do you realize this question has been asked 200 times in the last 3 months, the answers remain the same

Try Bangkok Bank HQ... from previous reports it seems to be the "easiest" at the moment. Otherwise you'll probably need an agent... sadly...

You can open a bank account on any visa type or even exempt. Except these days it’s not easy to find a branch manager willing to let you.

Try numerous branches of several banks and see how it goes.

Many find using an agent is about the only way possible.
