visited a couple of banks and it seems that it’s impossible to get a bank account with a holding DTV now. the staff mentioned they are much stricter and only with a letter of employment / retirement visa are you allowed to open an account

not sure if anyone had any success?

DTV approved, anyone have any tips to open a thai bank account, if it's not possible with DTV is it possible with an agent in Bangkok? Unable to find any solid on this so far.

Since getting a Thai bank account on a DTV seems to be an issue, what are Americans doing? Favorite fee-free credit or debit card? Other workarounds? Please share what's working for you. Are you handing over 15-30k for rent in cash every month?

Hi, I wonder if a traveller holding TR visa can open a bank account in Thailand? If so, which bank? (I've asked multiple banks but no luck).

Today, I received approval for DTV from the US Thai Consulate. I want to open a Thai bank account preferably with Kasikorn. Has anyone successfully opened a Thai bank account with the DTV?
