ORIGINAL POSTERHello :) can you get with a DTV visa a Thai bank account? thank you in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
Opening a Thai bank account with a DTV (Tourist visa) is generally not possible without assistance. Recent regulations have tightened laws surrounding bank accounts for tourists. While some agents may have helped in the past, current rules make it difficult, and even agents might not be able to assist due to new anti-money laundering regulations. It is recommended to check directly with banks for the latest information.
DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
- Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

The DTV is a tourist visa, so you likely won't be able to open account by yourself. You might be able to find an agent to assist you, for a price.
