What are my options if I encounter difficulties with my Thai bank account upon returning to Thailand on a visa-exempt basis?

Okay.. a couple of things to chew over here.. do you have to upload a booking confirmation or just input a flight number.. if the latter you could use an 'intended' flight.. meaning one you haven't booked yet but is highly probable if everything comes together.. if you need a booking slip then there are organisations that specialise in solving your problem.. eg. the likes of on ward travel spring to mind.. but there are others.. another alternative is to buy a ticket with an airline that allows you the flexibility to change your travel date without incurring a huge admin fee or other charges.. as regards dates you need to remember that once you are granted a 60-day multi-entry tourist visa in the Uk.. it must be activated within 3 months of the issue date.. so if you are still in the Uk after 90-days you can't use that visa and would need to re-apply.. so you should only apply for it once you know you will be able to travel within that 90-day window.. bear in mind there will usually be a significant delay from the time you find a committed buyer to the completion date of the transaction.. which will vary depending upon the depth of the chain.. if the chain is 3, 4, or 5 parties deep it could take up to 3 months to finalise.. whereas if you sell to a first time buyer that could be reduced to 5-6 weeks.. and since your visa application could be turned around in a couple of weeks say.. you would be wise to wait until you have a buyer and can evaluate the situation better.. so if leaving the Uk is wholly dependent on your house sale being completed.. there's little point in putting your visa application in to the Thai embassy until you have exchanged contracts on the sale.. just my tuppence worth my friend 😉

If you check it out.. you'll see it's a 6-month visa with a maximum stay of 60-days on each entry.. so if you exit Thailand after the first 60-days you have the right to re-enter and get another 60-days.. and it doesn't look like it stipulates a minimum period you need to leave between visits.. eg. you don't have to stay out for say 3 or 5 days before coming back in again on that visa.. but please check this out yourself to be sure.. there have been increasing instances of people having a hard time at the border.. when they try to bounce out and back in again once their 60-day visa exempt stamp has expired.. people are being questioned about their intent and being told they won't be allowed back in again without the proper visa.. because immigration can see that in many cases people are trying to live in Thailand without applying for the correct long term visa.. and there's no way of knowing if this policy will get stricter as the months unfold.. but having the multi-entry tourist visa from outset removes this risk for you.. in the event that 60-days plus a 30-day extension is not sufficient time to get your preliminaries sorted for your non-o visa application.. bear in mind if you enter as a tourist with an exempt stamp and then go to a neighbouring country to apply for a preliminary non-o visa.. you will have to spend a period of time in said country to finalise that visa.. with all the added expenses that that trip would entail.. so unless I've overlooked something obvious this appears to be the best solution.. I'd invite others in the community to pick holes in this strategy.. should they think this won't work for some reason.. happy to be corrected if my interpretation is flawed 👍
