ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among commenters is that a DTV (Digital Technology Visa) alone is not sufficient to open a bank account in Thailand. While some expats have managed to open accounts using various methods, most indicate that the process is challenging, and requirements can vary between banks. Key requirements often include a valid visa, passport, and Thai address. It's suggested that those facing difficulties might consider using an agent or visiting multiple bank branches.
