Advice on chicken and egg...

As I understand it, to open a bank account I need a proof of residency. I also understand that that needs to come from immigration. However, how does one use temporary accommodation (to look for a permanent place to stay) and still get a bank account in time to season 890k for 60 days?

Suggestions?

A few questions regarding housing and the visa process:

I have applied for the ED visa and my passport is currently with immigration, awaiting the visa.

I haven’t found a long-term apartment yet because I’m waiting to get the visa first. I don’t want to commit to long term housing in case my visa is denied. Does that make sense?

As I am moving between short term housing, the owners are creating TM 30s to register me (I assume), but do I also need to update my visa application each time?

How do you normally handle this, when technically you don’t have authorization to stay in the country long-term, but the government wants to know where you going to live long-term?

On a non immigrant O-A visa application does the address in Thailand where you will stay have to be for the whole twelve months or can it be for an initial week or two in say a hotel while you look for long term accommodation?

I found a month-to-month apartment that doesn't provide internet. AIS/True only does 1 year contracts. Is there a way for me to get internet (50mbs or more) via phone hotspot (hopefully 5g) or other ways?

Reporting where you stay ? I have Non immigration O 90 day visa, first two night i stay at hotel. Rest of time i rent bungalow, do i need to go immigration to report ? Address on arrival card is same as bungalow.

I live in Chiang Mai. A friend in BKK is travelling out of the country and invited me to enjoy his appartment there for two weeks.

As he will not be in Thailand while I will arrive to his place, he will not be able to apply the TM30 for me. Is there another way for applying TM30 for this situation?

Thanks!
