Hi group!
I’m a UK citizen. Have a Bangkok Bank account with more than 800k seasoned for over 3 years and meet all visa requirements.
Question: I plan to arrive on 30 day visa exempt - is it then possible to apply for the 90 day Non-O and the 1 year extension at the same time?
Thanks for constructive answers 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK citizen with an established Bangkok Bank account seeks to understand if they can apply for a 90-day Non-O visa and a 1-year extension simultaneously upon arriving in Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption. Responses indicate that it's not possible to apply for both together; first, the 90-day Non-O visa must be obtained, after which the extension can be applied for when the visa is approaching expiration. Moreover, it is crucial to provide proof that the required funds originated from abroad, and additional requirements may vary depending on immigration office policies.
