Hello everyone. I see a lot of people asking about a bank account in Thailand.

If you are on a DTV visa it can be difficult to get a bank account.

I have been using an app called deep pocket and have had no issues.

You can pay rent with it. Any place that has a QR code option you can pay.

You can transfer to most Thai banks.

I think this can be useful for some people.

Edit. I forgot to mention you get a Thai card which is useful for online purchases. Thai netflix or other similar services.

Hello, I got my DTV approved yesterday and I would like to thank all of you for the information and help that is provided in this forum.

Here are the steps of my application, if it can be useful for anybody:

11/12 applied online through the Rome embassy and provided all the documents required under the workcation (remote worker) category.

13/12 request to upload additional information such as “Updated Official bank statement showing applicant's details and current available balance of not less than 500,000 THB” (I had uploaded a bank statement which dated back to October and a screenshot of my current balance) and “ticket departing”

17/12 approval

Now the next challenge will be to open a bank account, and I know it won’t be easy at all, or eventually impossible.

But this is another story 🙂

Thanks a lot again

I’m not tech savvy. But once I tried to pay US property tax online from Bali and the website wouldn’t accept my payment. The website didn’t work. I also tried once to make a Homeowners Association (HOA) payment online from Thailand and the website didn’t work or accept payment. Why don’t those websites work for me to use on my phone while I’m overseas?

Has anyone stuck outside of Thailand tried getting a replacement debit card from Kasikornbank sent overseas? If so, how did you activate it outside the country?
