What documents do I need to open a bank account in Thailand on a DTV visa?

Do not expect to get a Thai Bankaccount on a touristvisa like DTV.

At least you need to be on a proper long term visa, have stayed several months at a permanent adress with a long lease.

Even for long term visa’s that acquire a Thai Bankaccount with a deposit of 400.000 - 800.000 Baht, will be difficult.

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.

DTV is a tourist visa.

Most banks will not allow unless you use an agent.

I do not know of 1 DTV that has been successful without.
