My DTV approval, Bangkok which bank can allow DTV visa open bank account? What document need to bring down when open bank account? Kindly advise ..
Summary so far
The conversation reveals that opening a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa is considered nearly impossible. Multiple comments indicate that banks are currently hesitant to accept this visa for account openings, with some stating that you can only open one if you have a Thai spouse, child, or own property. Suggestions for alternatives include using online banking services for transfers instead.

None and useless to have a bank account. Just have an online bank that is easy for money transfer like wise n26 or revolut and that’s it.

Anonieme deelnemer 926 or even better Wise and N26 and Revolut, never bet on a single horse and they all have free accounts, so no need at all for a Thai bank account.

hm maybe. But without, you can still do instant money transfer, use promptpay with Moreta, and pay anything anywhere with a foreign credit card without any fees if it’s a neobank.

It's obviously very convenient to have a local bank account if you plan to stay the bulk of the next 5 years in a country. Only people who never had and can't get one says it's useless.

With DTV you can only open a bank account if you have thai spouse (maybe kid) or own a condo

Near impossible with dtv and even if you somehow do with an agent or other means, you can be frozen at any time

DTV​ is not the right visa to open a bank account at the moment unfortunately.

You will find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to open a bank account on any tourist visa including a DTV

I used to be able to do this, but now no bank can.

And they've started blocking accounts of anyone without a visa.
