Is it possible to get a non O issued in the Uk without having the 800000baht in the bank yet ? Thanks
Answer summary
It is possible to apply for a Non-O visa in the UK without having 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account. Instead, applicants can use funds available in a UK bank account, provided the latest balance is equivalent to approximately £18,000. This amount must be documented through bank statements, and while the full amount needs to be present in a Thai bank account when applying for the yearly extension, it is not required at the initial application stage.

Yes a statement from your UK bank is good.you only need the 800,000k baht in a Thai bank in your name only when your applying for the yearly extension

If you mean you don’t have the funds in any bank the answer is no

If you have the equivalent in a uk bank yes

If you have funds in Thai bank yes

to use an agent to front the financials to obtain a visa is committing Immigration fraud. You leave yourself open to arrest, deportation and blacklisting.
