ORIGINAL POSTERHi good morning, just wanna ask if my girlfriend holds a work permit in thailand and I am on DTV visa will it be possible for us to open a joint bank account? If yes, which bank is possible? Thank you in advance 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The community consensus is that it is not possible for you to open a joint bank account in Thailand while holding a DTV visa, even if your girlfriend has a work permit. Most responses indicate that without being married, or with both parties not holding relevant permits or visas, a joint account is generally not feasible for two foreigners.
DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
- Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Do 2 different accounts, with work permit it's already, and when she got hers you do it just after her

I've never heard of a Thai joint bank account with 2 foreigners.

You'll probably need to use the one of your girlfriend... DTV can't open one not share any.
