I want to know if I find an agent to open a bank account with DTV, how much would they charge? Thanks🙏

Has anyone been able to open a thai bank account from Chiang Mai with a DTV? Bangkok Bank just told me they dont open accounts for DTV holders, SCB just told me they require at least a 1 year stamp which is impossible with DTV, got a few other banks I could try but pretty sure SCB and BKbank were my best chances.

What Happen with the 800000 bht deposit in your Thai Bank account in Case you die? I Hope the Thai government wont keep IT🤔

Can you open a Thai Bank account if you have DTV?

When pulling trigger on 800,000 tbt equivalent from your US Bank to Thai Bank account — does the US BANK do the conversion to Thai Baht or is that done once it lands in Thai Bank? Or do both banks equally share in the cost of conversion ?

I’m in Bangkok, went to BangkokBank with US Passport in hand, to set up account using Non-O stamp, TM30 + lease. The lady then asked me to get a Letter from US Embassy Certifying the that my Passport was really mine. No clue why. I guess I could have also brought my California drivers license and my Canadian passport as proof of my ID. What’s my move? Bother with a bureaucratic embassy OR learn my lesson and bring the supplemental IDs to the next branch I attempt to setup an account (do Thais understand the principle of dual citizenship or will using the Canadian passport as ID confirmation confuse them?)

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

Looking for trusted agencies who can help me setup the DTV visa including a bank account in Bangkok Bank.

Drop a comment and ill send you a message.

Price of the service does not matter.

Folks on a DTV - are you able to open a Bank account? Also has anyone got a Thai tax ID or Pink card. Some of the banks are refusing to open an account on the DTV.

hi - I am curious as to which documents Thai banks now want from foreigners. I have not yet myself received such a mail. Anyone care to tell me the headlines of those documents? Thank you

ps comments closed - I got my answer 😊 Thank you very much Mr. von Holdt 👍
