@Scott ********
this is a forum with good advice, it's always everyone's responsibility to research and take legal advice for your own status.

I've tried to open an account on a tourist visa and was given a form to get signed by immigration. I now have a DTV and so I'm going to try again. From reading various posts a residency certificate is the solution, I believe 200tb

That's my approach, but others have reported getting a bank account opened without issue even on a tourist exemption, I guess it comes down to the bank and the manager. Yes agents can do it, but if its doable and only a bank account then it should be easy enough yourself, unless there are other reasons an agent can resolve for you.

Depending on flight times you might pass through passport control before the overstay, such as if your flight is 0200
