Follow up on 800k question: I have a 30 days tourist visa with a USA passport. Do I go to the immigration, ask for the 3 months extension to apply for the non-o visa. After I get the 3 months extension, open a bank account, THEN deposit the 800k and let it sit there for two months. Or do I have to have the 800k in the bank BEFORE I can even ask for the first 3 months extension??
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on the process of applying for a Non-O visa in Thailand while currently holding a 30-day tourist visa. They inquire whether they need to have the required 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account before asking for an extension or if they can first obtain a 3-month extension and then deposit the funds. Comments indicate that there is no 3-month extension on a tourist visa; instead, the user must convert their visa to a Non-O visa. It is also noted that certain immigration offices require the 800,000 baht to already be in the bank for at least 2 months before applying for the Non-O visa.
