Can you open a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa without a permanent address?

Nowadays almost impossible, i got mine last year on DTV. But main reason they agreed was that I used “pay medical bills” as reason. Bangkok Bank have/had(?) a clause for this.

And without condo lease or other, its even more difficult

Many are having their accounts closed now apparently. I’ve received no letter myself

No, no, and no you are on the wrong kind of visa to get a Thai bankaccount, which countless posts in the group already shows.

Search the group to avoid posting ridiculous questions again and again.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable customers, 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.

Be aware there is a error in the start of the article ( and several other copy - paste media with the same article )

A Thai Bankaccount has never been a requirement to get DTV, on the contrary it has been one of the big advantage over other visa, that you could get DTV as long as you could show 500.000 Baht equivalent in any bank anywhere in the world.

It has never been the intention that DTV visaholders should be in need of a Thai bankaccount.

Ask an agent, not Facebook.

As the previous comment stated with scams and stuff going around right now I wouldn't recommend the Philippines either definitely a ton of romance scams now that the internet and more recent years have become more and more and more accessible also Thailand is starting to become more arbitrary with its immigration laws I think personally we need to start making our way over to Cambodia it's basically Thailand and the Philippines mixed in a way if you take time living in the atmosphere and there's almost just as much to explore there

Right now NO but it could change in the future a lot of money laundering and scams going down

My bank account is available for deposits, lolol.

사고치는 나라때문에 피해를 본다 dtv는 돈 쓰고 너희 나라로가 이런 비자이자

Or rent bank account if it's acceptable

U can use agents account if it's ok for you

It’s almost impossible but occasionally a Bangkok bank may allow

With all the recent events that have happened nobody really knows

You could find that Agent that can but it will cost extra, plus who knows how long it will be open if the bank does an audit and your acct is flagged

Good luck

Yes, if you find the right branch but that will not be easy

As DTV only is considered as a tourist visa it’s almost impossible to open a bank account at date.
