Hello, I am still looking to find a branch location to open up a bank account on a DTV so far everywhere I’ve gone tells me it’s not possible unless I speak to an agent who wants so much money to do it. Has anybody had any success recently?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the difficulty of opening a bank account in Thailand as a holder of a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), which is classified as a tourist visa. Participants report that most banks are currently not allowing DTV holders to open accounts due to new regulations that hold banks accountable for fraud. Many recommend using agents to navigate the process, although this often involves high fees. There's a shared sentiment that recent legal changes have made it increasingly problematic for foreigners on tourist visas to access banking services in Thailand.
