ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A user has received a Non-O visa with a start date of July 7 and an end date of October 4, but plans to arrive in Thailand on August 31. They are concerned about the timing required to open a bank account to meet the 800k THB balance requirement for a visa extension. Community responses clarify that upon entry, the user will receive a 90-day stamp starting from their arrival date, allowing sufficient time to open a bank account and fund it for the extension process. It is emphasized that the user must enter Thailand by October 4 to avoid the visa lapsing.
