@Calvin *****
note that DTV is still a tourist visa. It basically means you are expected to be transient, not a resident.

@Lester ********
without an agent, you won't be able to open an account on any type of tourist visa or visa exempt.

@Nelly *****
problem only for those on tourist visa or visa exempt. Non-o or other long term (not including DTV) will be no problem.

Should be no problem. You will need a residency certificate from immigration specifically for opening a bank account. Bring copies of your passport pages, dress like you6r on business and your won't have any problem.

@Nongnuch *******
it takes one day! Go to immigration in the morning for a residence certificate, have copies of your passport info and you're in and out of the bank within the hour.

Just apply for evisa abroad for non-o. Then arrive on the non-o and you shouldn't have any difficulty opening a bank account to get your 12 month extension at the end of your initial 90 days.

@John ********
it is if you have a residency certificate and dress like a person conducting business.
