Is 30 days enough to apply for a Non-O visa in Thailand, and what are the requirements?

Question about Non O:

I am planning to apply for the Non O once I arrive in Thailand, my question is I only have 30 days once I arrive, is that enough time to apply ?

Any advantage/difference if I apply from the Non O here in the US and arrive with that visa already?

and lastly:

For the first 90 days (I am planning to get the year extension) I don't need health insurance or 800 k baht in a Thai bank, but after the 90 days I do need both of these , am I correct? Thank you in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about applying for a Non-O visa in Thailand and the time available to do so upon arrival, as well as the advantages of applying from the US. Responses highlight that the 30-day timeframe may suffice, depending on circumstances like the required bank balance. It's mentioned that health insurance is not necessary for the initial 90-day stay, but there are specific requirements such as having 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account.

If you need more time you can apply for a 30 day extension though so in 60 days you should be able to do it

Either get it in your country before you come here (which might require you carry insurance, READ the requirements at the consulate you'd be using)

BUT

You DO need to have the 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only to apply for the initial 90 day Non-O visa. Some offices require you prove it was transferred in from abroad AND at least one office Jomtien requires it is in your account for 2 months before you apply for the 90 day Non-O as well.
