I know there are a few threads on this but has anyone had any luck opening a bank account in Bangkok on a DTV visa? I’ve tried every chain in different locations but no luck as yet. Have heard some places do accept it though. Thanks!

Hi all

I have come back to the UK for a few months but still use my Thai bank account to pay bills.

I hear that there is a new check that your bank account and phone connected to the account matches to the same ID. Bank account in my name and passport but phone was originally set up by my GF ID and have never changed it.

Is there an impact on using the bank app with my phone in another’s name?

Can’t change it until I return

Just a bit of advice.

My bank card expires soon went to K Bank to renew today.

No she said you have a new passport. She needed my old passport as numbers are different to what you opened the account with. Go job I kept old passport. The banks aren't up to date with new uk passport. After further hour she finally clicked on UK passport she was trying to enter GBR ,in the end got it done ,keep your old passport for this.
