Can anyone recommend an agent who can help me open a Thai bank account with a DTV. I've asked at a dozen branches so far been turned down unless I was interested in buying a condo or getting a married. Any agent suggestions for an agent that charges a reasonable price? I generally live in Bangkok, but am fine traveling to another city if an agent can help there (even though my usual address is Bangkok).

Nice! So they didn't require any additional documents? What kind of address did you give them?

If anyone knows a good agent who can help open a bank account for DTV holders in Bangkok, please message me. I was quoted 21k thb by one agent, which seems steep.

Every bank I've asked said it's not possible without seeing a work permit or a non-immigrant visa. But the bank employees didn't seem familiar with the DTV, so maybe it will be easier in the future after banks update their guidelines.

Has anyone gotten a Certificate of Residence in Bangkok with just a DTV? Is it necessary to wait 90 days after entry?

I guess the agent can write whatever he wants. My remarks section only mentions the passport expiry and says "Digital Nomad", which I don't think is an official term used anywhere else.

I noticed on my DTV e-visa, it says under "Remarks": "Passport valid until 15April2028" (which is correct). I should still be able to enter with this e-visa at that point as long as I bring the old passport along with the new one, right? Nothing needs to be done to update the e-visa?

Has anyone been rejected yet for a remote working DTV? (Not just asked for more documentation that you couldn't provide, but flat out rejected with no recourse.) I'm going a on 2 weeks of "Pending Approval" status and starting to wonder what's up.

@toums did you end up getting the DTV approved or need any further docs? I'm in a similar situation and wondering how long the "Pending Approval" stage takes.
