I applied for a Non-O visa through the Thai Lisbon office on the 2nd of October, and I have just received my approval email. The visa is valid from 13 October (today) until 9 January. However, I won’t be flying to Thailand until 10 November, which leaves me with insufficient time to apply for a Non-Immigrant O-A visa. The money will not be in a Thai bank for the required 2 calendar months.
Any advice or suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
