Can you open a Thai bank account with a DTV tourist visa?
Can u open a thai bank account with DTV?
Answer summary
Opening a Thai bank account with a DTV is generally challenging, as many banks refuse to do so due to strict regulations associated with tourist visas. However, experiences vary; some individuals have successfully opened accounts with a DTV, especially if they deposit a large sum of money. It's advisable to consult a visa agent for assistance. Recent reports suggest a crackdown on DTVs, leading to potential account freezes, adding to the complications of banking with this visa type.

From what I heard they are cracking down on DTV freezing a lot of accounts and immigration is calling for the DTV to be reformed. Idk if it’s true but that’s what I heard 🤷🏻♀️

I think for now it’s still valid, they aren’t just going to pull that many visas. However they aren’t excepting any new ones.
