Has anyone managed to open a bank account with a DTV visa? Thanks

What is max amount you can take from ATM in thailand .how much do they charge you and is there a best bank ATM to go to

If you’re on a DTV visa and struggling to open a bank account, I’ve just found something that works: DEEPPOCKET.

I signed up yesterday and got approved this afternoon. You can top up at Big C, Tesco Lotus, or even bank branches by following the app instructions. I tested it out by having a friend send me 500 baht via QR scan, and so far, no issues.

It’s only been a day, but it’s already making things easier. At least I don’t have to carry so much cash around anymore. I’ll be using this until the banks decide what to do about DTV visa holders.

I will be staying at a friends house for a month or so whilst I search for a perminate address. In order to open a bank account ( I have non-o visit Thai family visa) can I just present a TM30 from my friends house, no residency certificate?

I am planning on opening the bank account at Bangkok Bank headoffice in Silom rd. Bangkok.

Hello everyone,

I’ve read that it’s difficult to open a bank account with a DTV Visa.

I have a DTV and want to open a bank account in Chiang Mai.

I have a residence certificate.

What can I do?

Did anyone open a bank account with kasikorn on dtv? Any special requirements?

Has anyone opened a bank account on a DTV visa? Which one and where? Thanks

Now this is a single report only so take it as that - a single anecdote. It is not confirmed policy and may be only a single bank manager implementing it at their branch.

In another thread about taxation in another group a guy tried to open a bank account yesterday and was told he needed a TIN (Tax Identification Number).

If this becomes standard bank policy the cat will be truly among the pigeons - especially for those on visas other than DTV.

Can you recommend any agent in Bangkok that would handle opening Bank Account on DTV visa? I got one offer, but 15k THB is insanely high. DTV = you have money = rip off?

Hello, I have a question regarding banks in Thailand. Since I only have a tourist visa, I am not able to open a bank account. Therefore, I opened an account using my girlfriend’s identity. I have a debit card that allows me to make withdrawals. However, since my girlfriend's phone number was provided to the bank, I cannot use the app on my phone, which is a bit inconvenient... So, I asked my girlfriend to allow me to access my bank account online without using the app, but with a username and password. She explains that it’s dangerous due to scammers and that only the app is secure. Honestly, I don’t see why it would be riskier with a Thai bank than with a French bank to connect without the app. Connecting through the internet just means using a username and password... What do you think?
