I have a quick question for those who've gotten this visa- can you set up a bank account in Thailand, on the DTV visa?

Also, can one set up a Wise account from Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can set up a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa, as confirmed by users who have successfully opened accounts with banks like Bangkok Bank and K-Bank. It's recommended to be presentable and have cash on hand when visiting the bank. Additionally, it is possible to set up a Wise account from Thailand, provided the service is available in your home country.

Had no problem with Bangkok Bank and others got one at K-Bank. You might have to try a few branches. Be presentable when you go in and have cash on hand. 😉 Sure you can set up Wise from anywhere provided it’s offered in your home country.
