If you hold a DVT visa but are now legally married to a Thai national, can you now open a bank account with the Marriage Certificate? If yes, which banks will open an account?

Hello, I have a Non O visa. If I enter Thailand, get the bank account set up and transfer the funds into it to season, would I be able to leave the country and re-enter in time to apply for the extension?

Would I just need a re-entry permit?

Thank you 🙏

So a DTV holder cannot open a bank account. I tried all of them. Can I issue a Thai drivers license?

RETIREMENT VISA! Can the monthly income requirement be coming into a foreign bank account? Or does it need to be a Thai bank account? Also, can I get the visa when already in Thailand? Thank you 😊

Hello Just get the approvement for the Thai Elite Visa...IS IT still easy to Open Bank account with this...

And can i get an Thai Driving license with this ..of course i have driving license in my Home country

Can I open a bank account in Thailand on the DTV? I was told that some banks will not allow it.

Is there any agency that can do DTV visa and open bank account?

Is it possible to enter Thailand from the US as a tourist with passport but no visa, get married right away, apply for the non-o visa, open a bank account and deposit the 400k thb, wait 60 days, then get a marriage extension before I'd need to leave the country? Hope this makes sense!

For those wishing to open bank accounts on a tourist visa the process may be scrutinised a little more and become more challenging.

For your reference - I was able to open account at ttb Bank.

Following documents were requested:

- Passport

- Thai Driving License

- E-Visa

- Translated Working Contract from Homecountry

- Lease Agreement

- Certificate of Residence

- Tabien Baan Copy with signature from my landlord

I think these are the general requirements of the bank, which should apply to any branch. So you can just walk in any branch, in case they haven’t heard about DTV just tell them to call their headquarter for more information.
