ORIGINAL POSTERDoes anyone know any bank in Phuket that allows to open bank account with DTV?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the possibility of opening a bank account in Phuket with a DTV (Digital Tourist Visa). Users mention that Bangkok Bank allows account openings even with a tourist visa, although there is uncertainty about other banks accommodating this. The need for a bank account is linked to using the PromptPay system for paying utility bills.
DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
- Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

get a TrueMoney account. Can top-up 3k baht per transaction. Or probably more at a TRUE shop/terminal… for large sums you could just use Wise. put money into your wise account and then transfer it to your landlord for example

they have just released this app. I think you can go get it at Kasikorn Bank (the green one). You can use this app and pay by scanning QR code directly from the app like thai people do.Kai *********
@Sean **************
yea and top up in foreign currency all the timeLiam *******
@Kai ********
so you can download that app, and pay for baht in your home currency and then sent to your landlord?Kai *********
@Liam ******
no as this app doesn’t allow personal qr transfers. You need a bank account for that.Reply to
