For those in Phuket with a DTV looking to open a bank account, I successfully opened one at TTB, Robinson Lifestyle Thalang in just two days.
Documents I provided:
1. Passport
2. DTV
3. Driving license (from my home country) with the exact same name as in my passport
4. Cover letter from my Muay Thai gym (the same one used for my DTV application)
5. Lease agreement for my accommodation (signed by both my landlord and me)
6. A signed copy of my landlord’s ID
7. Certificate of residence from the immigration office (I got mine from Blue Tree)
Be prepared for them to keep some or all original copies of the documents. I specifically requested my original Certificate of Residence back since it may be needed for other purposes.
The process took two days. The bank wasn’t busy, but the account opening counter was slow. Their system didn’t allow DTV holders to open an account, so they had to send my application to the Bangkok main office for approval. The next morning, I got a call from the bank, went back to sign a few more forms, and walked out with my passbook, debit card, and mobile banking set up—now I can use PromptPay.
P.S. I visited every bank in Central, and all of them said no.
Regarding Bank Accounts (as well as other non-DTV) items TikTok has just posted this. I am posting this in DTV about the new banking regulatory requirements only.
They are very well connected and have been around a long time.
Does anyone know which bank, other than Bangkok Bank, can open an account with the dtv visa? Or does anyone know an agency that can do it? If possible, a bank in Bangkok
Hi all, I have just filed my taxes and it looks like I'm getting a small amount back. They require promptpay for this, but I can't link that to my Thai ID because I'm not Thai. How does this work?
Unfortunately Thai Visas and related issues can become a complex issue.
I just read a question regarding agent who should support application for a non-O retirement visa in Thailand.
It‘s said that the Bank Account is funded already and I wonder how one can get a bank account in TH without a longstay visa, thoughtvit doesn’t work with tourist visa..
