Can I open a Thai bank account with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) and what documents are needed?

Where do you live? I opened my bank account in ttb bank hangdong one week ago, I think all ttb bank accept dtv

Why do you want one if your income isn’t coming from Thailand?

When you transfer your money from your country to a Thai bank you will pay fees and depending on the bank may lose money from the exchange rate.

Just pay the 220 baht ATM fee on max withdrawal amount.

Up me

In general DTV is not eligable for a Thai bankaccount.

Most banks would only open Bankaccounts to people on long term visa's ( DTV is Tourist ).

Even when depositing 400.000 - 800.000 Baht for visapurposes, it is almost impossibel to open a Thai Bankaccount.

Banks only want customers, that have had a permanent Thai adress for several months, have a long lease on room / apartment, have a steady income to come to the account regulary, and most important have a proper long term visa ( Which DTV isn’t )

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable custormers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so reluctant depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Try TTB Bank

That's not a valid reason for a bank. Try moretapay.com or plebqr.com

Thai Bank accounts Now many restrictions due to recent changes, try wise account the exchange rates are that good and the ATM fee isn't big, transfer to Thai baht and withdraw from ATM, no tax charges either

try TMB

Which part you are please?

Not possible anymore

I saw a video once on instagram , but I personally have not tried it yet, the video was about how to pull money out of your Card without having to pay the ATM fee, which was saying go to the bank with your bank card and passport and ask them to pull money out of your account, that way someone could avoid the 220 ATM fee( bank card I mean debit or credit card Visa or MasterCard )

It was difficult to open an account on a DTV previously and most often needed an agent. New Bank of Thailand rules mean it might well be impossible now and agents posting they cannot open new accounts.

Simple, bring your lease and owners ID and house registration or if it's a friend or your Thai wife hosting you, instead of a lease a letter indicating this but again, their signed ID card copy and house registration.

Will be impossible now.
