How can expats with a DTV visa open a bank account in Thailand?

The conversation highlights the challenges faced by expats, particularly those with a Digital nomad Visa (DTV), when attempting to open bank accounts in Thailand. Many banks, including KrungThai and UOB, have been cited as difficult for DTV holders. Users recommend visiting banks in person instead of relying on email inquiries, as responses can vary greatly between branches. Several participants suggest using agents to facilitate the account opening process. Some banks, like Bangkok Bank and Krungsri, are noted as being more accommodating toward expats. A recent rule mentioned indicates that under certain circumstances, bank accounts may not be opened for individuals under 50 on short-term visas.
