TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa has recently been introduced in Thailand, and experiences vary when trying to open a bank account with it. Many have reported difficulties, as some bank staff are unfamiliar with the DTV visa. Factors such as not having a long-term lease or Residence Certificate may also affect the ability to open an account. Some users suggest visiting multiple bank branches or using an agent to help with the process.
I have a long term lease just wondering if I should go none O or try the dtv

Sadly the DTV doesn't seem to cut any ice with any bank branch as far as ability to open a bank account.
Could be because the visa is so new (just under 6 weeks old) that they don't know about it.
It's down to a numbers game, hit enough bank branches and you'll find one that will let you open an account or you find an agent that will help you open one for a fee

Some have saying they could not but all I asked did not have a long term lease or Residence Cetificate. The DTV is not that well known so many Bank Staff do not have a clue what it is. To be 100% an agent can get it down. They can get accounts opened on Visa Exempt stamps.
