Can you open a bank account in Thailand with a DTV visa?

Michael **********

my bank accounts are in countries that don't allow those cards u mentioned. That's why I rather get here with cash and put it in my true money account. Since we can't have a bank accont here is way better than using my foreign card and pay 1.5% to my foreign bank every time I use it

it seems you didn't send all the documents requested. That's not a deny, they say your application is incomplete or not clear (make sure to take the whole page and do not crop the pic

Can I apply for a visa in Hanoi if I'm currently in Ho Chi Minh City?

Michael **********

well, at first it doesn't seem a bit issue but recently there are a lot of cases of people being asked for proof of location and that could lead you to some potential issues. The website clearly states that if you are in ho chi minh you must apply at the embassy there

I doubt you spend 25k per day. Anyways, you can top up 30times a month for free, not a very big issue then

@Peter **********

cash is surely the king but it's damn helpful when you can deal with online stuff by yourself, not everyone accepts cash on delivery and not everyone likes to wait the carrier to come to your place. It's also a great thing to go around without bringing anything but your phone.

when u apply for full access it'll ask you to show your NON IMMIGRANT visa, at that point I sent a picture of my DTV visa + picture of the entry stamp in thailand and that was enough. I'm not sure if having also a phone number with true or the US password helped but I'm happy with it
