Can someone with a DTV visa enter Thailand under visa exemption, do an Ed visa for 3 months, open a bank account, and later return with the DTV visa?
If someone holds a DTV visa, can he enter with visa exemption, do an Ed visa for 3 months, open a bank account, then leave and come back with the still valid DTV visa?
Answer summary
No, it is not possible to hold more than one valid visa at a time in Thailand. If someone enters with a visa exemption while holding a DTV visa, they cannot then apply for an ED visa without cancelling the DTV visa first. Additionally, you cannot open a bank account under a visa exemption.

Why would you ask on social media if you can break the law? Hopefully the blacklist is in your future!

This is like asking if you can go to a bank and widraw money from someone elses account. Bravo

Dickheads like this that ruin it for everybody, stop trying to be clever

DTV has to be cancelled before you can apply for a different type of visa, so the answer is no

Forget about having a bank account. Digital ID and digital currency is around the corner. Soon there will be no bank, no cash

All that for a bank account that literally does nothing for you?
Bought houses, cars, condos, and motorbikes during the last decade - never had a bank account

No. And you can easily live without an account.

Visa linked to passport. Have to cancel DTV and apply for a new one. Seems a lot of effort and expense. It's an (8) for effort but a (1) for execution.

Why not use the bank account you showed to apply for the DTV?

You can’t open a bank account with DTV. It’s a tourist visa. Only LTR and non b visas

@Olia **********
And any Non O, and Non ED ... and if you can open one on DTV: is matter of the bank. There is no rule against it.
Dave ********
No , what a moronic question

You cannot have more that one visa at time. Applying for one, will cancels the pervious one.

Simply no, as you cannot hold more than one valid visa at a time.

At a time, only one visa is allowed. As soon as you apply another visa, they will ask you to cancel your another visa.

No

Absolutely NO 👎

No

Why does Thailand attract all the weirdos

You can not hold more than one valid visa at a time. You might be able to sneak in under visa exemption if they simply don’t notice your visa but you can’t open a bank account under visa exemption either.
Angelo ***********
UnforgettableRambutan8343 You can, if you find a bank that lets you.
Claire ********
No

No

Whatever visa you enter Thailand with is the visa you will be on. Picking from a buffet of visas and switching back and forth is not possible.
Positive********
No, and even if you could (hold multiple visas, open a bank account with a basic ED visa which are not possible), you'll lose your account pretty quickly.
Angelo ***********
PositiveLynx7934 Of course you can open a bank account with an ED visa. However his idea to have multiple visa is just silly
James ********
PositiveLynx7934 Ed Visa holders no longer can open a Thai bank account.. unless it's a university degree course of study.

You will need the
Ed plus visa
Not the
Ed visa
The Ed plus visa is a 5 year visa for university studies you also can open a bank account
Know the difference
