Hi All-I have a couple of questions that I am hoping I can get some help on. I entered Thailand this week on a Non-O 90 day visa with the intention to extend by marriage. First question, I was told that I need to report to local immigration office upon arrival at my new residence (Ubon Ratchathani). I went to the local immigration office and they had no idea that I need to do this. I called the main immigration office in Bangkok and was told only need to report 60 days into my 90 days. Any idea what is correct or if I need to report at all?
Second question, I need to set up a bank account for the THB400,000 but the bank told me I need a certificate of residence from immigration to do so. I called immigration office and told me I can only get that from my American embassy. Is this true and does anyone have any experience with this? Anxious to get the bank account set up as needs to be in 60 days before I apply for marriage extension.
Any help would be much appreciated!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on whether they need to report to local immigration upon arrival on a Non-O 90-day visa, as they received conflicting information about the reporting timeline. Additionally, they inquire about the necessity of a certificate of residence for opening a bank account to meet financial requirements for a marriage extension. Comments indicate that reporting only needs to occur at the 60-day mark, and obtaining a bank account may be possible with just a passport, though some banks may request additional documents.
