How can I open a bank account in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV)?

from what I have seen with bank accounts is solely dependant on visa you hold your assets can assist you in getting visa as I mentioned. Marriage visa seems to be the quickest way to get a bank account my understanding it comes with an income requirement like retirement

nope none that I know of owning property has no affect on bank accounts or visa you can own land on visa exempt however owning land does count to a few visas for example the LTR 10 year visa the account for ownership or investment into thai economy but that is for high end earners like in the millions - in thai baht
