ah, yes, the Department of Consular Affairs in the Chaeng Watthana Road is a subsidy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They might be able to help, establish a direct contact to the HCMC Consulate and get them to re-issue the DTV .Good Luck !

@Ryan ******

"I was granted a tourist visa on arrival" . . . . . . no, you, as U.S. citizen, weren't granted any visa. You got stamped in for a 60-days stay permit on a visa-exempt entry

ah, thank you for clarifying. There was so much misinterpretation, also from my side, I am sorry for this. And normally only the HCMC Royal Thai General Consulate can fix this issue. There is no Thai embassy inside Thailand, so did you schedule an appointment with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok? The MfA in Bangkok normally does not get involved in embassy & consulate matters, although you could give it a try in case you are staying in Bangkok anyways

@David *********

well it is the bank's rules. If they don't open accounts based on a tourist visa type, which the DTV is, there is nothing you can do

@David *********

and yet this still would be no justification or need for a Thai bank account. You can withdraw cash Thai Baht inside any bank or at any ATM with your credit card(s)

@Graham *****

in detail it says: the personal report can be done up from 15 days before due date until 7 days after due date . . . . . . However, the online report can only be made between 15 days before until 7 days before due date. If it is his first 90-days report, he has to do it in person

@Ralph ******

read my reply, again. It's exactly what I said

@Ozan ******

you said "she stays in the country for 3 months, most people know this as a visa." . . . . I am not "most people". I am a Thai visa expert. This is WRONG. These three months are a stay permit, they are not a visa

the DTV is a tourist visa, and you can't get a bank account opened on a tourist visa. As you are supposed to earn your money as a digital nomad with customers from abroad, Thailand expects you to withdraw the costs for a living in Thailand with your foreign credit card on a Thai ATM
