TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus among community members is that it is not possible to open a Thai bank account using a DTV visa. Many commenters noted tightened regulations and a lack of eligibility for this type of visa as reasons for being unable to open an account.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

No. You are not eligible for opening a bank account on the DTV visa. Agents can no longer help with this.
