ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the financial requirements for applying for a 90-day Non-O visa while already in Thailand. The user entered Thailand on a visa-exempt status and wishes to transition to a Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national. The primary concerns include whether a bank statement from their home country is sufficient or if a Thai bank account is necessary for the application process. Commenters clarify that for an initial Non-O visa based on marriage, applicants must either have 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account or obtain a financial affidavit from their embassy in Thailand. Additionally, they emphasize the challenges of opening a Thai bank account while on a visa-exempt entry and the possibility of needing to visit the immigration office multiple times for document verification.
