You clearly show that you believe you’re entitled to a bank account while holding a tourist visa with 180-day entries. Nowhere was it ever stated that a DTV entitles you to a bank account. AML rules and “personal safety” what are you even talking about?! You’re trying to victimize yourself while the clever ones simply bypass the banks through other means. If you can’t afford paying a small ATM fee on large withdrawals or find alternative solutions like many others did, then you’re the one putting yourself in "serious danger". 😅
