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

Has anyone tried with HSBC Thailand?.

Difficult these days without work permit. If no joy try an agent.

I have TM30 so can I open one yes?

Selam dostum hangi konsolosluktan dtv yi cozdun ?

Work with an agent. It’s easy for them. It costs between 4,000- 6,500 THB, but they can handle everything for you without any issues.

if you need to open bank account you can pay to open one if you need to there’s a lot of agencies that will do this for you.

I believe the law service Siam Legal can help people open bank accounts

contact them and see;

Thanks for opening the thread. I was looking for opening a bank account too and kasikorn bank doesn’t know about DTV yet and they ask for work permit.

Hope it’ll open in the future

If you want to do it, I have a service in Bangkok.

Go get a residency cert 300 b and the bkk bank on soi bukho they will ask you to pay for insurance just say no no no.

I would like to get bank account too on DTV in Bangkok.

I learnt the following

Issue 1 - some banks require certificate of residence from immigration. This seems easy to get in Pattaya but difficult to get in Bangkok - even with 12 month Bangkok lease and TM30.

Issue 2 - even if you manage to find a bank to allow you to be a customer, they may force you to buy expensive health insurance

I’m told that using an agent in Pattaya solves both these issues, the account they get u, isn’t required to get the expensive insurance - so once you pay the agent costs it ends up around the same cost as if you did it yourself

Happy to hear from people that had different experiences, especially from Bangkok

I opened a bank account with a 3-month tourist visa. I am sure you can open a bank account with a DTV visa. I can recommend Bangkok bank as a bank. If you have a local friend, it will be useful to take it with you.

No.

In the last 2 days, I have tried 2 KBanks and 2 Bangkok Banks, so far they all said no, seems like the DTV is so new they are not sure yet.

Will keep trying.

Try in Kbank or Bangkok Bank, in Bangkok only. Go there being well dressed.

If it doesn't work in some branch, try another one.

not enough DTV have been issued and feedback received to give a considered response, let us all know how you get on.
