We're now seeing a lot of people with DTV cannot open bank accounts. But many people don't know what's happening with thai banks.

Thailand banking has already joined CRS in 2023. CRS means common reporting system. That means banks here will need to report individuals to other countries banks and tax authorities. It's a thing which HNWIs don't like because of their privacy concerns.

A Thai elite visa is also a kind of glorified tourist visa. DTV visa is also a tourist visa (banks here always say that). However, our DTV holders cannot open. But from the banks side, they have to do a lot of paperwork. That's why they don't like us, dtv holders.

Although they already joined the CRS, they didn't clean up the mess first which is agents. Yes tourists can still open any bank accounts with the help of agents. So, think about yourself, money laundering cases etc. i won't explain further here.

I went to kasikorn bank today with my DTV visa to open an account the clerk said cannot open because its a short term/ tourist visa how am i suppose to live in thailand for 5 years without a bank account lol always carrying 500k baht in the backpack?

What banks in Phuket will open a bank account given I am on a DTV?

Can tourist visa apply for Thai credit card?

Whick bank will give you an account so you can transfer

Money from abroad for O visa? SCB no. Kasakorn. No.

Any suggestions for opening bank account in Thailand? Which banks are popular among foreigners?

Anyone here on LTR visa and was able to sign up for TrueMoney account? Their app sign up SUCKS! 😡🤦🏻‍♂️. I can't for the life of me figure out how to sign up for this. It's like they don't want my money or something 🤦🏻‍♂️ I have LTR visa but none of these options makes sense. I just want to sign up so I can order 7 Eleven delivery and be lazy 🥹 can anyone help 🥹😅

Hello! Has anyone successfully opened a bank account with the DTV Visa? And if so what bank and what branch?

Thanks!

Has anyone had any success transferring money from Kasikorn Bank to Wise? I’m looking online and it looks like you can do it, but the instructions are confusing.

Hi everybody

As the DTV from the UK is sent via email as a PDF to be printed out does anybody know if this is acceptable to open a bank account in Thailand
