[March 16] Here's the list of documents required for opening a new account using DTV which was given by the bank(TTB). They need a printout of everything mentioned here. I'm yet to do it. Just posting it here as a reference material.
[April 10] I got all my documents ready and within 2 hours I got my bank account.
Steps:
I've seen a lot of posts in this group about how some are able to open and most cannot. Here's the exact steps i followed and the documents needed:
1) You need your remote employment contract signed by you and your employer in ENGLISH. (Mine is from the US)
2) You MUST have a rental agreement for 1 year in your name.
3) TM30 dated not less than 30 days.
4) The House registration document of the owner of your apartment/home
5) [Important] Once you have all these, apply for a Driver's license. This will require a residency certificate too. (I got both of these done through an agent. I got it in 1 day with the express queue. The total cost was 7300 = 3900 [ Residency certificate ] + 2400 [ Existing license in my country converted to Thai license for both car and motorbike] + 1000 [ Express queue ]
Now you have everything ready for the application
[Important]
I applied in TTB, True digital punnawiti. But please know that they only take 3 DTV account applications/day. Since it requires 2 hours for the whole process and they only have 1 English speaking staff
The bank opens at 10.30 AM. And I went there and stood from 9.30 AM. I got everything done by 12.
[ General guideline ]
Don't try to talk loud and be very polite with the staff. They will treat you the same as how you treat them.
I will not be replying to DM's I have already added all the information here. In case of questions, please post as comments. And if it's a valid one, I will answer it there so that there is transparency with others as well.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience and steps to open a bank account in Thailand using a Digital Nomad visa (DTV). Required documents include a signed remote employment contract in English, a one-year rental agreement, a TM30 form, and the house registration document of the apartment owner. They also suggested applying for a driver's license for additional identification. The process can be complicated, and they emphasized the importance of being polite with bank staff and the limited number of applications processed daily at the chosen branch.
