Which banks in Phuket allow opening a bank account with a DTV?
Does anyone know any bank in Phuket that allows to open bank account with DTV?
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.

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

OP@Dany *******
I have dtv visa, and true money asks a paper visa snapshot from your passport to unlock the transfer feature. I was like all dtv visa since 2025 are e-visa now, where do I get a paper version on the passportDany ********

for Wise can you just send it from your local account or you need a business account to send to thai bank account

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.
