Bonjour j’ai une dernière question svp. Est ce que je peux faire une demande sur place à Bangkok ou chiang mai d’un visa O. J’arriverai avec un visa touriste de 30 jour et je pense que j’aimerais m’installer à chiang mai. Je connais les pré requis pour le visa 0 je voudrais simplement savoir si je peux faire la démarche sur place. Merci à tous. Je suis canadien. J’arrive le 2 octobre à Bangkok

Answer summary

The ability to apply for a Non-O visa on the spot in Thailand, specifically in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, depends on various factors including the immigration office's policies and your financial preparation. Travelers should be aware that they will enter Thailand with a 30-day visa exempt entry stamp, not a tourist visa. It is advisable to apply for a 30-day extension upon arrival to give more time for visa processing. Key requirements include having a Thai bank account and providing financial evidence, although Canadian citizens may be eligible to use an income affidavit from their embassy instead. Using a visa agent or applying immediately for the Non-O visa can also be beneficial for ease of process.

As a Canadian I believe you can get an income affidavit from your embassy so you don't need to transfer 800k to a Thai bank to obtain the in country Non-O visa. One less thing to worry about. Getting the extension is good advice as if you are applying in Chiang Mai I think you need 21 days left on your stamp to apply.

This is the advice I got from an agent on Chiang Mai. Canadian embassy will certify my pension income.

use an agent, come on a stamp at the airport, apply immediately for non 0 and 12 month extension of stay with 800k in the bank!

If you look to open a bank account ASAP and deposit your required finances, you can go to Immigration and apply for a 30 day extension then at the same time apply for your visa, they may want you to season your funds, have them in your Thai bank account longer, if so at the end of your 39 day extension of stay do a boarder bounce to receive another 30 days

Just some info if needed

You can do 2 boarder bounces per year, entering by land

Flying out and back in unlimited however it is at immigration officer’s discretion on how many times

Also when arriving it is not a 30 days visa unless you are applying for one, it is 30 days visa exempt

You won't have a tourist visa, you'll have a free 30 day entry stamp. You can obtain non-O visa in-country, but my advice immediately you get here, apply for 30-day extension, this will give you 60 days to go through the process. 30 days should be enough, but take the time pressure off and get the 60

exactly, take a little bit less 3 weeks.

but the visa start immediately when it's accepted

so no need to take a 30 days extension

There's an "under consideration" period which varies between offices. There may be some discrepancies in documents etc. Some offices want TM30, some want verification from landlord. There's a lot of bureaucratic bs to go through. That's just my advice. The OP is free to take your advice.

Yes I agree. But many embassies want insurance for the initial 90 day visa, and for some reason, many people are frightened of this!

the documents are sent to Bangkok for validation.

your immigration office checks the documents provided. Easier to do the O visa 3 months in your country

It depends on the policy of the immigration office you'll be using and how quickly you get a bank account setup and your financial evidence in order.
