Can someone with a DTV open a bank account in Thailand?

I got a certificate of residence and went to the bank. Simple as that. No need for agency.

Go to Krung Thai bank , Singha complex branch in BKK

Go to Bangkok bank head quarter near saladaeng bts. They will open for you.

This is like the 25th post about this. Use the search function dude.

Wait a couple of months, then much easier, than straight after arriving in Thailand.

Reconsider if a Thai bankaccount is need-to-have or nice-to-have.

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 even 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.

If you don't have one already, make sure you also have/open a Wise account and card!

it can be tricky no matter what visa you have.

This is one thing that agents are very useful for.

Just have an agent do it for you .

Some say No and some say yes, better check with banks. My opinion is probably yes.
