I just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandon and all the others who give so much of their time to help people in this forum. I joined about a year ago having decided to make the move to Thailand and have closely followed the replies to the many questions from people on various topics. I found the advice and information invaluable. I applied for my non-O in Madrid 4 weeks ago, arrived in Thailand on Friday, went to Immigration this morning and opened a bank account this afternoon. Everything was straightforward but only because of the support offered on this forum. Thanks guys, keep up the good work! PS Any idea where I can get hold of 800, 000 baht? (Only kidding😅)

I am trying to fulfill the new financial requirements for my 1 year extension on my Non-O Visa based on marriage. I have a question regarding the bank account. I am having a very hard time finding a bank that will open a bank account for me as I do not have a work permit and do not work in Thailand. Only one bank would open an account for me but only if it were a joint account with both my name and my wife's name on it. Would that be acceptable or not? Any information about this would be appreciated. Cheers.

What about investment VISA? does it work? do they ask you for a huge amount to be invested? Cheers
