Hello Everyone,

Allow me to apologize if this question was previously addressed (I could not find it). Basically, with a DTV, is it possible to open a bank account?

Thanks

Pretty hard now but the new rules are asking for even more checks on opening a bank account from next month.

Hello, Is it possible to open a bank account with a DTV?

Is there still complications regarding bank account opening in Thailand following approval of DTV Visa?

Hi everyone. I have 2 questions, 1- Did the immigration rules change this Feb 1 , 2025? 2- I had pension income verified by my Canadian embassy (over the 65k/Mon) but immigration did not accept it stating that it is not a "guarantee" from the embassy. Did anyone experience this, and can you please share?

Now I have to open bank account and deposit 800k bht into the account to get me 3 + 12 month visa. So I need to transfer 30k dollars from Canada into Thailand which is not an easy task.

Thanks guys!!!

Opening bank accounts is not going to be getting easier anytime soon. This is not aimed at DTV holders but it is about all accounts. Thailand seems to be getting serious about scammers and limiting bank accounts is just one tool.

"To further deter the creation of mule accounts, the BOT will make the account opening process more stringent. Banks will be empowered to refuse account openings if the applicant's circumstances are unclear or to impose transaction limits or even deny account access from the outset."

Hi

I’m on a DTV visa

Which documents would I need to open a bank account if possible.

Thanks

I’m currently living in Phuket.

I have tm30

DTV

1 year tenancy

Is there anything else ?

Now that I've had over $10,000 in a Thailand bank for the last four months I am assuming that I will be required to file the paperwork the United States government requires in this situation. Has anybody found a reasonablely priced local agent to complete this paperwork?

As the DTV is available for a while now, has anyone been able to open up a bank account in Bangkok on a DTV visa?

Has anyone gotten any luck with opening a bank account with the DTV visa?

Went to 4 banks (3 Bangkok Bank and 1 Kasikorn) today and each said they can't open it with the DTV.

Has anyone gotten the account with the DTV?
