Hi I'm just seeking advice so I get things in the right order. I arrived on a Non-Immigrant O Visa for 90days. I entered on 8th December and have accommodation for a month.

I have a TM30 but I understand I need a Residency certificate to open a bank account.

Will I be able to get a Residency Certificate with 30 days accommodation booked? If not, what is the criteria?

My intention is to apply for a further 90 day visa then the year extension.

Is this the right way of doing things?
Answer summary
The user is on a Non-Immigrant O Visa for 90 days and is seeking advice on obtaining a Residency Certificate to open a bank account, given that they only have accommodation booked for a month. Comments indicate that most immigration offices require only a TM30 for the Residency Certificate. The user is advised that they cannot apply for another 90-day visa since they already hold one, and their next step should be applying for a 1-year extension. They are also informed of the financial requirements for the extension, including the necessity of maintaining a balance of 800,000 baht in their account for two months prior to application.

Go to the bank and ask for requirements to open. I was not asked for a certificate of residence and was able to open two accounts - I like keeping the 800K+ separate.

Most immigration offices only need the TM30 to get the certificate of residency.

And you're not going to be applying for any further 90 day visa. You ALREADY HAVE the 90 day visa. The only option you have now is applying for the 1-year extension. Unless you're married to a Thai or have a half-thai Child, the 1-year extension is the only option for you.

You need to get a bank account opened and get the 800,000 baht transferred into the account in the next couple of weeks. If you're not able to do that, you won't have enough time to meet the seasoning requirement for the extension. The financial requirement for the 1-year extension is that the money must be in your account for 2 full months already at the time you apply for the extension.
