Hi have just booked my flight to Thailand arriving 19th October, when would be best time for me to apply for non o visa from London, have most paperwork ready thanks
I applied for my Non-Immigrant O [90-day] visa in Belgium 10 days ago. I received my approval by email today. I have a few questions, and I hope someone can help me. Do I need to book a return ticket, or can I use a one-way ticket to Thailand, since I'll be applying for a one-year extension there? Is it still possible to open a bank account with this 90-day visa and a TM30 without going through a visa office? Thanks in advance for your help.
I spent 40 days in Thailand in Nov/Dec and 59 days in March/April. I plan to go to Thailand on 1st July after spending almost 2 months in Vietnam and I have a flight booked to Malaysia on 21st July (real one, not a temporary PNR reservation)
My worries stem from being questioned by the IO last time after she saw my flight to Vietnam was after 59 days.
Is it likely that I will get denied entry or am I overthinking it? The IO didn't explicitly say to get a visa next time but she did ask if I planned to come back to Thailand.

I applied for the tourist visa on Friday evening, and my flight is on 21st. In case I don't get it on time, can I get the visa on arrival instead, stay for 2 weeks and then exit and re-enter with the tourist one I'm yet to receive?
Thank you in advance and have a lovely day ahead! 🌸
I meant to post this earlier, but I’ve been traveling by bus and things got hectic—sorry for the delay!
Application submitted: Late night on March 11
I submitted documents including a Vietnamese investment account (not a stock trading account but a foreign investment account) with approx. 700,000 THB.
I included a bank balance certificate and 6 months of transaction history, showing an average of 350,000 –400,000 BHT and topped up to 700,000 THB a week before applying.
I also submitted Airbnb booking documents in Vietnam and my passport stamp showing entry into Vietnam.
March 13 (morning): I was asked to submit additional documents
They wanted to know about my income or how I plan to sustain myself in Thailand, and requested a full copy of my passport.
I responded within 3 hours with another bank account holding over 500,000 THB (balance certificate only),
and mentioned my YouTube channel with around 2,000 subscribers to show how I could sustain myself.
I also had a lot of travel stamps in my passport from a bus trip across Southeast Asia last year, so I explained each one just in case they got suspicious.
March 18: Visa approved!
April 1: I entered Thailand via Mukdahan from Savannakhet and received a 180-day stamp without any questions.
I applied with Muay Thai Fever in Chiang Mai under the "soft power" category.
I actually visited them in person back in February, checked out their facilities, and talked with the manager. They were super helpful and quick with paperwork. I highly recommend them!
Bonus tip:
If you fail in hcmc, don’t go to Hanoi.
Instead, take a 3,4-hour bus to Can Tho—weirdly, it's still under Hanoi’s jurisdiction, but many people have better luck there.
