Can anyone provide the contact information for a reliable agent in Bangkok to open a bank account in my name? I’ve seen people comment earlier that it can be done for around 4-6k baht, but can’t find those comments now.

Anybody managed to get a bank account with DTV in Bangkok?

Visiting 10 branches, it sounds like they don't know what it is so got denied.

If you did, please share bank/branch. If you used an agent, please share contact details and fees involved.

Can anyone tell me how long the process takes to get your multiple entry retirement visas if done thru an agent please? This is for a married couple.

DTV visa bank account opening update October 2024

I have the following documents:

- Thai driving license

- Residency certificate

- passport ofcoz

- My foreign bank account reference letter and bank statement

- my home country ID card

- My foreign bank credit cards

- Thai speaking friend with me

- My US company incorporation certificate - I own the company

Unbelievable, with all these documents, they all rejected me for no reason. The staffs were all rude to me. I went to all the banks in Bangkok, HQs. You name it, all the banks.

Some people at the front of the bank laughed at me. It's annoying me. I will go through with agent soon.

Does anyone being treated like this or anyone able to open bank account with DTV visa successfully?

Hello everyone !

Any Chinese in Jakarta successfully?

Is there anything special I need to pay attention on it?

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 😭

I am on tourist visa been here 3 months need so e help law has changed and i cant open bank accoumt on that visa . Has to be a long term visa so all the banks have told me .

So i want to retire here. I have well over 65000 a month but not the 800.000 to prove.

Only options i can see possibly education visa. Prove 12 months if i can open bank account on that.

Get a job get permit and visa not easy.

Or get an agent to do the bank account and the 800.000 not keen on that as the next year id want to extend myself. Ive hurd there could be issues . Any decent advice be good. Those usual idiots need not reply . Its genuine advice i need i am from uk . Live samrong bkk. If you need any other answeres ask me

Hi Thailand lovers, Malcolm from Mooloolaba Australia, I am 73 but pension is only 58k bht a month and gave my property to my kids so don't have 880000bht in the bank so I think I would have trouble getting a retirement visa. Can I get a 180 day visa,I have been doing 30/60/90 days for about 2 years and fly back to Melbourne to my daughter s 22th September and will apply then, which Visa do you recommend, thanks 🙏 Mal

Anyone know of a good agent in the Patong area to help with a visa extension thanks

So i am curious, if an agent is used, and they supply the funds required how are they able to access your bank account to deposit and withdraw funds? Are they a signitory to your account, is your iwn money safe? Also what address is used for the bank account? Can you use your own address or is it the agents address? Still a while off for me and i will depomy own funds but curious how it works???
