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?
TLDR : 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.
