Has anyone been able to open a thai bank account from Chiang Mai with a DTV? Bangkok Bank just told me they dont open accounts for DTV holders, SCB just told me they require at least a 1 year stamp which is impossible with DTV, got a few other banks I could try but pretty sure SCB and BKbank were my best chances.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Opening a Thai bank account with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) can be challenging as many banks, such as Bangkok Bank and SCB, have specific requirements that may not be met by DTV holders. However, some users suggest that success may depend on the individual branch and the personnel working there. It may be helpful to try different branches, particularly the main branch in Silom, or use an agent to facilitate the process. Providing additional context, such as intentions to purchase a property, may also aid in acceptance.
