Then do what the Embassy tell you.

But rules changes so what you was told last year or last month may have changed, and that you will find out by reading the Embassy website.

Read all the previous post where the answers all have been answered many many times.

No need to ask allready answered questions again and again.

Drop going in july.

You are not eligable for a Bank account on touristvisa’s like DTV.

Why not use the search bar before asking questions that are asked everyday.

You are earning your money outside of Thailand so that is where you should have a bankaccount.

Banks in Thailand are like everywhere in the world, interested in having good stable custormers, that have a permanent address, a steady easy traceable income, and use the account all year round.

That is why the banks are reluctant to give accounts to people on short time ( read: tourist ) visas, and who only spend part of the year in Thailand.

Don’t expect to get a residence certificat, until you have stayed at a permanent adress in at least 3 month, since that is what the residence certificat should confirm.

So don’t waste your and the banks time by applying straight after arriving in Thailand, some banks blacklist you preventing you from opening bankaccounts in the future.

Furthermore the added attention on whitewashing of money, is an added burden on the banks, so reluctant depositing large amounts isn’t a guaranteed way to open an account.

The value of a resident certificat, had gone down, since Immigration Officers are giving them to people that are not on a longterm visa, or have stayed severel months at 1 adress in Thailand, so even if it is a formal requirement, the bank make up their own assesment of the stability of the want-to-be customer.

Be aware there is a error in the start of the article ( and several other copy - paste media with the same article )

A Thai Bankaccount has never been a requirement to get DTV, on the contrary it has been one of the big advantage over other visa, that you could get DTV as long as you could show 500.000 Baht equivalent in any bank anywhere in the world.

It has never been the intention that DTV visaholders should be in need of a Thai bankaccount.

Go ask at the nearest Immigration office.

For 15.000 Baht, you can withdraw more than 2.000.000 baht in ATM’s

Think twice before digging in to deep in the 500.000.

In the past there has been big problems with foreigners, that couldn’t pay hospitalbills etc. if they got involved in a accident.

Under corona you had to show a medical insurance to overcome that problem of unpaid medical bills, but that did also stir up a lot of criticism and other problems.

But medical bills wasn’t the only finacial problem to be dealt whit, where foreigners misused the hospitality of Thailand, and to make sure those who make the problem also pay to solve the problem, Thailand now request a cash deposit, to cover those situations.

And they know that you had that kind of money, when applyed.

is the same as 110+ ATM fees or nearly 3.500.000 Baht.

Forget about a Thai bankaccount when you don't have a longterm visa, but only a tourist visa.

Read all the same posts previous days, weeks, months you are nothing special that would be treated differently than anybody else.

Go safe, make a new TM30, everytime.

It wont take longer than making this post.

Or ask at the Immigration, they are the only ones that can give you a precise answer.

Just start making the application, it can be stopped and restarted at any point, the you can see for yourself what is needed.

Read the Embassy website or search the group for that specific Embassy.
