Silly question time again. I’ve got advice from this group, that I need a 90 day Non immigrant visa to help with a bank account application. What do I select as purpose of visa? As there is no O visa option just O-A

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on the correct purpose to select for applying for a 90-day Non-Immigrant visa in order to open a bank account in Thailand. They noted that there is no specific O visa option, only an O-A. Responses in the comments suggest checking with the applicable embassy and selecting 'Non-Immigrant Visa' followed by the appropriate option for the 90-day Non-Imm-O visa.
