What bank can I use to open an account in Thailand with a DTV visa for business investment?

change to a correct visa and then open the bank account. cannot be hard. do some research…

We have a small guesthouse and our Thai partner/friend organised all that for our business, that was 3.5 years ago, we are now here on DTV visa, we don't do anything physical and it only makes enough money to pay her a wage and all the running expenses, we did it mainly because during covid our Thai friend lost her hotel job so we helped her out by starting up our guesthouse so she would have a job and be able to support her daughter, so just make sure the Thai person you use is definitely someone you can trust

I would suggest avoiding that under a DTV visa. While you can open a business under almost any visa or exemption, actually operating it and paying yourself is a different matter. The best approach would be to transfer the money to your Thai partner, have them open the company, and then transition yourself to a director position under a Non-B visa.

- This will allow you to open a personal bank account and receive a salary as a company director.

- You will gain some legal recognition by holding the position of director and may obtain the right of signature. Note that being a director with a Thai residence but without a Non-B visa is generally not possible.

- You will be able to be onsite for trainings, supervisions, etc. You can't work in Thailand on a DTV including working for your own business.

You are starting a business so you'll need a thai person to do that anyway, deposit into thier account to open the business, after opening the biz then they can open the biz bank account, don't know your biz but if you intend do anything online setting up stripe paypal etc at lot easier for the Thai national to do anyway
