Is it normal to receive a tourist visa instead of a DTV after an interview in Vientiane?

Ben ********

No it's not normal, but I hear that it's a somewhat common alternative to be given a tourist visit if for some reason you didn't qualify for the DTV. You could question it with them, but I doubt it's a mistake

What are the options for obtaining a DTV visa and opening a bank account in Thailand?

Ben ********

There will be several agents who claim that they can do that for you, and some actually can, many for a high fee. But I wouldn't bother at this time, even if you get a bank account, it could be closed / frozen on you at any time. I'd wait until the laws change
