Hi everyone

I’m recommending Tik toc services in Pattaya if you are after a bank account or drivers licences on the dtv. They were very professional and managed to get both the licence and bank account sorted in one day.

Morning. Would be great some informations because I’m not really sure.

I’m currently in Thailand and I have the DTV. I read that it was possible, to open a Thai bank account with this visa type. So I went to Bangkok bank here in krabi and they said that is not longer possible with the DTV.

The only reason to have a Thai bank account for now is only because then I could pay with promptpay and don’t need so much cash. It’s only a comfortable thing.

My setup: I’m German. I have a German bank account and a Revolut account. With Revolut I can do transfers to Thailand using swift. Costs a little fee, but this is ok.

And now the question: Is there any way to use digital payment in Thailand without Thai bank account? Or is there a way to get one?

How do others do? Thanks for all answers:)

Im in bangkok . And need a agent to do a retirement visa and open a bank account for please as i am on a tourist visa. I qualify for the 65k a month but dont have the 800.000baht . So will need an agent to help me please.

No bank will open an account anymore on a tourist visa.

Let me know with price details please .

Can you open a bank account and buy a car on the DTV? Thanks

Can you recommend any agent in Bangkok that would handle opening Bank Account on DTV visa? I got one offer, but 15k THB is insanely high. DTV = you have money = rip off?

What banks in Phuket will open a bank account given I am on a DTV?

Would you please recommend a agent that can help me open a bank account in Bangkok? I have read about a couple of popular agents but they are based in Pattaya so I'm not sure if they can open accounts in BKK.

Hi There

I've read many posts on this page about opening a bank account. I wrote to the Bangkok Bank seeking advice on opening an account on a tourist visa when arrive in Bangkok this Saturday.

Below is their response, which includes my original question. I will test this next Monday. I will be using my passport, birth certificate, drivers license, and a TM30.

I will report the outcome.

Cheers
