TLDR : Answer Summary

Individuals on a DTV visa in Thailand are currently facing challenges with opening bank accounts, as many banks have begun closing accounts for DTV visa holders, viewing them as tourists. Several comments express frustration over repeated inquiries about bank accounts, emphasizing the need to use cash instead. Some users mention potential assistance from agents like Dany Nomads, although overall sentiment reflects uncertainty and reluctance regarding banking options for DTV visa holders.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

The Bangkok Bank changes have nothing to do with DTV but they are supposedly locking all accounts opened on tourist visas and DTV is a tourist visa

Exactly. That is impacting "tourists" on exemptions and DTV. You'll unfortunately always find people questioning each single obvious reality.
