Hello, I am looking to open a bank account on a DTV visa - can anyone recommend a good agent that's not charging something like 25k for their services? 🙏

Is it possible to open a joint bank account in Thailand, my gf is Thai. I’m on dtv and not that critical I get a bank account but would be useful to have!

Have tried on my own but no success

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but the more I read the more confused I get. Is having your Social security direct deposited into a Thai account better or should I keep it in my US bank and do monthly transfers? Thanks in advance

Got my DTV two weeks ago.

Tried my luck opening a bank account with a few banks. No success. Can I apply for a student guardian visa at this stage, get it for three months (will not plan to renew it), just for the sake of opening a bank account? Will let that guardian visa expire and remain with my 5 year DTV?

What do you think about Pay&Tour tourist bank card from Kasikornbank?

Hello, did someone manage to open a bank account in Thailand with dtv?

Has anyone had any luck opening ANY kind of bank account in the last two weeks, specifically in Bangkok? If so list bank and branch or your reply isn't worth much. I've been to about 25 branches in two days.

Hi everyone! I just recently moved to Bangkok under the DTV visa (Muay Thai) and starting the, what sounds like, the complicated process of opening a bank account. I know my gym will help with that (as long as you purchase a couple insurance plans and pay a processing fee), but I'm looking for other options for comparison. I've heard about going to Pattaya to open an account with an agent. Has anyone used this company to help? [members only]

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

If you want to open a bank account it is very straight forward. Got to an immigration office and apply for a certificate of residence, after providing the relevant documents they will then ask you which bank you want to open an account with and they will provide a letter.

Don’t use an agent, don’t listen to everyone saying it’s impossible, it’s easy you just need the correct paperwork.

Banks are very happy to accommodate you when you provide the required documents.

Hi im looking for some information on opening a bank account. I have my DTV visa already. Ive had 1 quote for 19k baht just to open a bank account. Does anyone know where i can open an account cheaper?
