[March 16] Here's the list of documents required for opening a new account using DTV which was given by the bank(TTB). They need a printout of everything mentioned here. I'm yet to do it. Just posting it here as a reference material.

[April 10] I got all my documents ready and within 2 hours I got my bank account.

Steps:

I've seen a lot of posts in this group about how some are able to open and most cannot. Here's the exact steps i followed and the documents needed:

1) You need your remote employment contract signed by you and your employer in ENGLISH. (Mine is from the US)

2) You MUST have a rental agreement for 1 year in your name.

3) TM30 dated not less than 30 days.

4) The House registration document of the owner of your apartment/home

5) [Important] Once you have all these, apply for a Driver's license. This will require a residency certificate too. (I got both of these done through an agent. I got it in 1 day with the express queue. The total cost was 7300 = 3900 [ Residency certificate ] + 2400 [ Existing license in my country converted to Thai license for both car and motorbike] + 1000 [ Express queue ]

Now you have everything ready for the application

[Important]

I applied in TTB, True digital punnawiti. But please know that they only take 3 DTV account applications/day. Since it requires 2 hours for the whole process and they only have 1 English speaking staff

The bank opens at 10.30 AM. And I went there and stood from 9.30 AM. I got everything done by 12.

[ General guideline ]

Don't try to talk loud and be very polite with the staff. They will treat you the same as how you treat them.

I will not be replying to DM's I have already added all the information here. In case of questions, please post as comments. And if it's a valid one, I will answer it there so that there is transparency with others as well.

My husband went to three banks today in Chiang Mai trying to open a bank account with his DTV. All saying they couldn’t do it. Anyone have success opening a bank account recently?

So as a thought seeing the bank account problems. Would opening an account with a Thai bank in my own country with the 800,000 baht equivalent be accepted by immigration. Second thought if now would it make it easier to get an account in Thailand by transferring said account to a branch in Thailand?

Hello all. Does anyone know which bank I can go to in Chiangmai to open a bank account with DTV?

Has anyone created a USD account (with Bangkok bank or any Thai bank) in addition to your main baht account so that you can receive and withdeaw USD without having to exchange to baht? Would you recommend doing that and any caveat?

I have the 800k but I don't think i want to tie it up in a Thai bank account. Is it worth getting an agent to sort things out?

Can you open Bank Account with DTV?

What documents do we need?

Thanks.

Good morning everyone.This is a follow up question to some of my previous correspondence.

I am travelling to Thailand at the end of April on a 60 day e-visa which I plan to extend by 30 days. In the mean time I will apply for a Non O visa based on marriage.

I understand that I will need to open a Thai Bank account in my name only and deposit 400,000 Thai Baht.

I've been reading advice on how to go about opening a new bank account in Thailand.

I note that it is suggested that I provide a letter from my bank in my home country requesting that the Bangkok Bank open a bank account for me.

However when I contacted my bank and requested that they provide me with a letter of request they informed me that they do not provide this service.

My question is such is :

In order to open a new bank account with the Bangkok Bank quickly and easily what should I do?

Thanks in advance.🙏

When putting 800000 bht into bank for retirement visa can anyone put it in from back home or does it have to come from your own bank account.

Is it really still no coins deposit machines in Thailand !! not even at banks!
