and you are right , this group is here for the vast majority of people,

To answer it easy for the vast majority

DTV = no bank account.

However this is where we differ ,

I have seen you belittle people in other post , this is a public forum, so of if I see someone like you calling out other people in other post, I will for sure pull you up on your nonsense….

See how this works ?

you literally scolded someone for calling it a tourist visa , in fact you laughed in there face.

Yeah I know exactly what you meant.

The Thai elite visa is a tourist visa but it self identifying as a “ somewhat of an LTR” visa.

Don’t be a f*ck wit online mate especially when you are wrong.

Infact if someone calls you out on it , take a minute to go look it up 🙏🏽.before you double down on your nonsense

awwww is someone upset because they are wrong ?

Next time before you shoot your mouth of maybe get your ducks in a row.

As for your last comment about tourist visas not having bank accounts that’s not even the case.

The rules are you must have a long term qualifying visa.

It’s just so happens they group the standard tourist exemption etc and DTV into the same basket.

Simple as this old man, if your visa gives you a 1 year or longer stamp you can open a bank account.

Same deal with

Drivers licenses now, any renewals ( to a 5 year license ) will be determined on what entry stamp you have, if your stamp is greater than a year you will

Renew for a 5 year license , less then 1 year you will

Get a 2 year license

Digital nomads etc. call it what you want they are still tourist visas

The elite visa doesn’t give you residency it just allows you to stay in Thailand as and exclusive tourist 👌

the bank thing , the rules around it are that you can’t open an account unless your are on a valid long term visa ( meaning you get a 1 year stamp) when they say tourist visa they basically say or group tourists / tourist visa into one basket because of the 60

Day exempt etc.

The elite visa isn’t a non o visa,

It’s a tourist visa exact the same as a the DTV only

Difference is you get 1 year stamps, you can stay in Thailand for 5 years straight( up

To 20 years if you want and being as it is a valid long

Term visa for opening a bank you can obviously open a bank.

So I would suggest before you go out making your self look bad for world to see , save your self some embarrassment and educate your self.
