Can you open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa?
Can you open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa.
Answer summary
It is generally difficult to open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa, as many banks treat it similarly to a tourist visa and require proof of income or residency. Some commenters suggest trying specific banks or agents that might facilitate the process, particularly if you are married to a Thai national or own property in Thailand. There are also alternative services like Wise for handling international transactions.

You will be lucky if you can find an agent that knows a branch that will accept the DTV. If you own a condo, you're married to a thai on the DTV you can for sure.

OP@Cole ********
Again Thanks for your reply Cole. It looks a lot easier if you go the privilege bronze visa expensive way to go though.Cole *********
@Brian ********
I watched integrity legal the other day and he said even on the privileged visa people were having problems. I also read on here about a guy having problems with opening an account on the LTR visa. He was saying banks didn't even know what that visa was. In general getting a bank account seems to be a nightmare. I was lucky I got an account on a visitors visa before I even got my DTV last year. My account was frozen then when I showed all my paperwork for my DTV visa they unlocked my account. This is definitely something that's difficult to navigate at this time.

These days no. An agent might be able to help.

OP@Stuart ********
Thanks Stuart

@Brian ********
the DEFINITE answer is NO, you can't. You can't even get it opened through agents. As a "digital nomad"or being on the DTV "soft power", Thai government expects you to retrieve the funds for your living expensesin Thailand on the ATM using your foreign credit card. Saythank you to me and share my reply to others who are in the same meleeJo **********
