visited a couple of banks and it seems that it’s impossible to get a bank account with a holding DTV now. the staff mentioned they are much stricter and only with a letter of employment / retirement visa are you allowed to open an account

not sure if anyone had any success?

Yeah... I used to work for a company in Thailand so I have a bank account, luckily. Never thought it'd help me. It seems Truemoney is a solution tho.

Yes that's correct but isn't anything new. You struggled to get an account on a DTV even from the outset, back in July 2024...
