How can I use my foreign currency account for an O Visa from the UK as they do not￼ do online banking for this account￼￼ So I cannot get a up to date statement from the bank￼

Answer summary

You can use your UK bank account for your visa application as your foreign currency account can provide the necessary financial documentation for the O Visa. Note that you do not need a Thai bank account for the initial visa application but will require one for subsequent Extensions of Stay. However, if you opt for the Special Tourist Visa (STV), be aware that you cannot change your visa type while in Thailand.

If you get STV you cannot change to any other visa in Thailand.

If you enter on a Tourist Visa you can convert to a Non O. Easy through an agent but still possible if you do it yourself. It’s not possible to change a STV to a Non O in Thailand.

You use your U.K. bank account for a visa application. You only need a Thai account for subsequent Extensions of Stay.
