So as of February its basically impossible to get a bank account on DTV? I've spoken to a few agents now.

I just opened a bank account with kasikorn bank.

It's easy to deposit money from my wise account or cash..

ABER

Es ist sehr trickreich und/oder teuer, das Geld wieder aus Thailand herauszubekommen... 🤔🤔🤔

I may have a mental block???

Can someone help me ????

Ich habe gerade ein Bankkonto bei der Kasikorn Bank eröffnet.

Es ist einfach, Geld von meinem Wise-Konto oder Bargeld einzuzahlen...

Vielleicht habe ich eine Denkblockade???

Hi I’m going to Pattaya in 20 days I have a dtv visa and I’d like to open an account

Any advice or any agency that can help me?

Anyone successfully opened a bank account with DTV before in Bangkok?

If yes could you kindly share which bank and branch?

Thank you!

For those that don't have a Thai bank account and want to use the QR code for payments, you can now use tagthai that uses KBANK. For info go to

Oh, has anyone actually managed to secure a bank account under DTV yet, or are we still stuck in the delightful era of cash-only transactions? Just checking, you know, for any signs of progress.

Opening Bank account experience

I have visited multiple banks here in Chiang Mai in the last two months for opening a bank account on DTV. Tried Kasikorn, Siam Commercial, Bangkok Bank and Krungsri.

Somebody recommended TTB and I tried that also but all of them rejected saying it’s a tourist visa or it’s not a work permit. Even when I said its a long term visa, five year visa and I will be spending money: it did not work. Some said they have now strict regulation from the central bank.

Truemoney wallet option: tried this also but it’s not very helpful. If you have to withdraw cash using your foreign card anyway to top up on this app via cash only, then it’s not of any use. Its the same hassle.

Curious how others have navigated this situation? I am aware of agents charging exorbitant amounts.

Hey all,

Does anyone know a place where i can still open a bank account on visa exemption? Preferably Nonthaburi, Bangkok or Pattaya. Agent is also cool

Thanks!

Hi lovely group I have a question:

If I applied 90 days retirement visa in the UK, can I open bank account in Thailand from the UK?

If yes how to do it?

If not can I do it straight away when I arrive to Thailand?

Anyone knows how to open a bank account in Chiang Mai on DTV visa?
