DTV does not make you eligable to get a Thai Bankaccount anyway, since it is a tourist visa.

Real longterm visa’s can make you eligable for Thai bankaccount, but there is no guarenty that the banks will let you open one.

You don’t need any payslips to apply for DTV.

They are “only” interested about you having at least 500.000 Baht in a bankaccount.

You can not work with thai customers on a DTV, only customers located outside of Thailand.

The money has to be readily avaiable, so you can pay a hospitalbill at once, in case of accident etc.

Get the DTV in your homecountry, and avoid the hassle with Embassies that can't recognice the supporting documents.

It will also be cheaper to stay with your family, for the duration of the visa proces, instead of sitting and wait in a 3. country.
