absolutely! It doesn't even matter what type of visa it is and what type of visa the bank accepts because the banks do have the final decision about who they want to give a bank account to or not. So it's completely pointless for us to argue with what makes sense or what doesn't make sense. You just have to accept what the bank is telling you. Any business has the option to refuse a customer if they want to.

I thought so too. But someone here posted a link to the official website, that I cannot find right now, and it says it's the tourist visa. 👍

Just to clarify for others who might not know:

The part where you say that "banks here always say that" the DTV is a tourist visa:

That is because it officially is a tourist visa. That's important to keep in mind.

Other than that, I'd agree with others here: just get an agent and you'll be fine. :)

Awesome, thank you! 🙂

Did you have bank statements from the past or just the current state of your bank account?

Which documents did you need to present?

Self-employed or your own company or something else?

Anonymous participant It's just to give you an idea of how much that is. Ignore USD and make sure it's today's rate for 500k THB.

Why would they use a foreign currency? 🙃

Of course it's THB.
