If you’re on a DTV visa and struggling to open a bank account, I’ve just found something that works: DEEPPOCKET.

I signed up yesterday and got approved this afternoon. You can top up at Big C, Tesco Lotus, or even bank branches by following the app instructions. I tested it out by having a friend send me 500 baht via QR scan, and so far, no issues.

It’s only been a day, but it’s already making things easier. At least I don’t have to carry so much cash around anymore. I’ll be using this until the banks decide what to do about DTV visa holders.

Hi , been quoted 80k BHT by legal firm to open a Thai bank account .. it’s this a fair and reasonable price ? Any guidance would be grateful 🙏

Can someone recommend an agent to assist with opening a bank account in Bangkok. Thanks!

Visited three banks today in Chiang Mai—Bangkok Bank, KBank, and SCB. All of them politely declined to open an account with a DTV visa.

Any recommendations for an agent in Pattaya to help open a bank account ? Thanks

I believe many members in this group use and advocate for Revolut?

This is a pretty good story of how security goes wrong. Certainly the victim could have done more to protect themselves but it sounds like Revolut did next to nothing to protect it's customers.

Most certainly any financial service provider should have some security with new accounts and the number of transactions/payments within a period of time.

They save you money because they reduce expenses... Security is apparently one of those expenses

Hi can anyone tell me the easy way to open a bank account in thiland

All Thai banks refused to open a bank account with a DTV visa. It’s really hard to believe how they operate. Even though you can open a bank account with a visa on arrival, they have no policy for opening accounts with a DTV, which is a long-term visa. It is very disappointing to me. They still don’t accept me, even though I explained the DTV thoroughly to their bank manager 😭

Hello all

Hi all.
