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

I need an agent to open an account on a DTV. I am in Phangan but I can go anywhere to get this done. Thanks!

Can someone explain the following?

If you need a bank account to get a retirement visa, as you have to show 800k baht in your bank account, why do the banks say you need a retirement visa to get a bank account? I’m trying to open an account and get my own visa. Is this even possible or do you have to use an agent. Is there anyone from the UK who can explain the process please

Hello, seeking advice on obtaining a non-immigrant O visa, as I want to retire here. I've been researching some myself, but only making marginal progress.

I'm American, over 50, single, currently living in Bangkok but want to relocate elsewhere in Thailand in the next few months.

Currently here on tourist visa expiring March 4th but can extend 30 days. I do have a rented condo and TM30

I have been receiving documented retirement of about $1500 for a few years, which is over 600k baht annually. If I understand correctly, I need to deposit @ 200k baht additionally to a Thai bank account to bring the total to the 800k total. I have not been able to open a bank account yet. I do have other assets in savings in an American bank.

Given my circumstances, what should I do? I don't mind parking the 200k in an account, especially since it doesn't have to be there 12 months each year.

Thanks in advance!

Any first time visa holders with DTV have success opening a bank account? If so, which bank and how did you go about it?

Hello, I want to retire in Thailand in the korat area at the end of this year, looking at the financial requirements for a retirement visa or I believe the other option is a non o visa for a year and then extend it for another year and in that time deposit 65,000 or more into a Thai bank account, would this work or do I have to stump up the 800,000 , no intention of getting married at the moment, have friends in Korat who have married and built their own houses, love the area and the friendly people

I don’t know whether to go and use an agent to simplify the process and I’m not sure if this is hundred percent legal, is there any comeback on using an agent, Thai government websites say that if you can prove from your pension provider that you have over 65,000 baht per month paid into a Thai bank account then this negate the need for the 800,000, I’m not sure what to believe because my friends are telling me that no bank or pension provider in the UK will certify this, confused

Hi everyone, I have a DTV visa and live in Phuket. Can I open a bank account in any bank in Phuket with my DTV visa? Has anyone tried it?

Hello everyone. I see a lot of people asking about a bank account in Thailand.

If you are on a DTV visa it can be difficult to get a bank account.

I have been using an app called deep pocket and have had no issues.

You can pay rent with it. Any place that has a QR code option you can pay.

You can transfer to most Thai banks.

I think this can be useful for some people.

Edit. I forgot to mention you get a Thai card which is useful for online purchases. Thai netflix or other similar services.

Hello all. Does anyone know which bank I can go to in Chiangmai to open a bank account with DTV?
