I went to multiple branches of Bangkok bank today, but they all refused to open a bank account with my DTV visa, does anyone know any branch where I can open an account?
Also on my entry stamp with  they put a date for six months only, I thought this visa was for five years. I got it directly from the consulate without using an agent so I’m completely unaware. How long can I stay in the country and I how often do I have to leave the country and is it mandatory to purchase health insurance? I’m sorry it’s a lot of questions, but any assistant will be greatly appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is struggling to open a bank account with a DTV visa and seeks clarification on the visa's validity and stay terms. Commenters explain that the DTV is a 5-year visa allowing 180-day stays per entry, after which users must leave or apply for an extension. Banks are generally reluctant to open accounts for holders of a DTV. Recommendations include seeking smaller banks in less urban areas and emphasizing the need for immigration documentation. Health insurance is not mandatory, but travel insurance is advised. Users can manage their stay by either obtaining a visa extension or opting for border runs.
