Can anyone recommend an agent that I can open a Thai bank account with my new DTV visa? I’m based in hua hin, but can go to BKK or pattaya to get this done
Answer summary
The user is seeking recommendations for an agent to help open a Thai bank account with a DTV visa while located in Hua Hin. Many commenters shared various suggestions, with one recommending Anna Visa in Hua Hin, while others warned about new regulations making it nearly impossible to open a bank account on a tourist visa. Advice included trying directly at banks and getting the necessary documents, like a residence certificate, although it seems challenging post-regulation changes.

Next time search the group, before asking a question, that is asked every day.

You are supposed to be on a long term visa to be eligable for a Thai Bank account, DTV is tourist.

Have stayed several months on a permanent adress with a long lease.

Be able to deposit a significant sum every month, from a easy tracable source.

So DTV and a bankaccount isn’t compatible.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable custormers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so reluctant depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Not gonna happen new regulations the 17th even agents will not try to do it for you

The government has cracked down

Look at agents Facebook pages they say not happening

Anyone saying they can is probably just gonna rob you and say whoops we tried

I recommend you try it yourself where you are first. Go to immigration and get a residence certificate (you will probably also need a TM30 for this) then visit a few banks and ask them.

from your answer
@David *******
I can tell you ain't tried to open a bank account on a DTV 😛

it's like pushing a rope, and hundreds (maybe thousands) of people on DTV's can't get accounts open
David ********

@Jack *******
l understand the question but it's about opening a bank account. Why go straight to an agent try yourself first. I never had an issue opening a bank account just gave them the correct paperwork took about an hour. I wouldn't pay an agent when it ain't that hard
