Why won't Thai banks open accounts for DTV visa holders?

Rok ********

Banks certainly do not open a bank account on a VOA (without help of an agent just the way DTV holder can use them).

5000 baht is a reasonable market rate if you cannot provide all the documents the banks want - otherwise a DIY job at 0.00 baht.

What should I know about my 90-day visa for Thailand, and why am I confused about its dates and duration?

Rok ********

These dates are the dates you must enter Thailand otherwise the visa will lapse. Once you arrive your passport will be stamped with the date of entry, the last date the visa is still valid (+60 days… + 90 days …) and the visa type. I assume it is a non-O as you would’ve received 90 days exempt in any case.
