ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Opening a bank account in Thailand on a DTV visa is challenging, and it's commonly advised that you may need to use an agent to facilitate the process, which can cost around 5,000 baht or more. Most banks are currently reluctant to open accounts for DTV visa holders without agent assistance. Experiences shared by users suggest that it's generally more manageable to have an agent handle this, whereas direct applications at banks have become increasingly difficult, especially for younger individuals.
