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

Anonymous participant 189 of course you can, you can do everything in Thailand, that's why agents make money. I opened more than 10 accounts in Thailand at 6 different banks. But I am not a digital nomad who lives in Thailand 1 month and has no clue how to survive

Anonymous participant 189 nah, you speak of account getting closed if tourist visa... thats a false rumour, since you are not here and dont know about these things. Banks are targetting suspicious/fraud/falseinfo accounts, not tourist accounts especially

1. I didn’t say “closed”. I said BLOCKED.

2. I never said “everyone.” I said HIGH CHANCES.

3. Whether you like it or not, some accounts are being permanently closed, while others may eventually be reinstated.

4. "You speak of accounts getting closed if tourist visa". I never claimed it was tied to a specific visa type or group. The crackdown is mainly on ED, DTV, and tourist exemptions especially targeting scammers and similar cases. But you'll certainly not be able to open an account on a DTV!

5. “Since you’re not here and don’t know.” Well, I’ve actually been here for over 15 years, certainly longer than you. (Is that your best argument?!) So please, no rumors.

6. I'm answering to the OP who doesn't have an account yet.

tourist visa accounts are reportedly being CLOSED... The DTV Visa is considered a tourist visa.
