What documents are required for opening a bank account at TTB in Thailand for DTV holders?

Question

I recently saw posts here and TikToks of people opening accounts at TTB. So, I went to the TTB branch at Big C Extra On Nut in Bangkok and opened an account. I also got myself an ATM card, and it cost me literally nothing—not even a deposit. The staff were quite helpful and assisted me throughout the entire process, including the bank application and setting up the ATM card password.

The bank has a list of required documents for DTV holders opening an account. Here is the list: 
* Passport
* Visa
* A document issued by the Thai government or the applicant’s country of origin, such as an ID card or driver's license     
* Lease agreement
* TM30
* Residential house registration

**Additional documents:**
* Job statement
* Job contract
* Proof of soft power-related activities (e.g., Muay Thai, Thai culinary training, medical treatment), such as an invitation letter, etc.

Bring all of these documents along with copies.

In my case, I provided all of them since I had them.

According to the agent who assisted me, getting the residential house registration (“Yellow Tabien Baan”) is very difficult. You have to apply to get it after working in Thailand for 10 years.

Now you can pay taxes on that money because it’s remitted to Thailand after 180 days …

When you say ‘residential house registration’ do you mean the blue house book? So that would be a copy of that, signed by the registered person on the book, do you also need a copy of their ID card?

Or do you mean a residence certificate from immigration?
