ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around obtaining a DTV visa and opening a bank account in Thailand. Many commenters suggest that while there might be agents claiming they can assist with a DTV visa, no agency can legally secure this visa from within Thailand since it is procured from outside the country. Concerns are raised regarding opening bank accounts, particularly under tourist visas or DTVs, with reports that banks are increasingly closing or freezing such accounts. Most advise against using agents due to potential complications and changes in regulations.
