that is correct. Or get the sim at thr airport, they have tons of SIM booths after the baggage carousels. AIS has the best coverage. True is the fastest in cities.

There are huge condo/rental/apartment groups on Facebook. Join a few and start scrolling.

in my own experience transferring 40,000-50,000 from wise to Bangkok Bank takes a couple of seconds.

I've used wise for 4 years now and only about 1 out of 10 times the transfer takes longer than that.

Not sure how long it takes to transfer from bank to bank through wise though, that should take longer, I'm guessing.

Wise has the best exchange rates and does almost instant transfers most of the time.

Get a tourist visa (60 days) before you travel and then one extension (30 days) in Thailand.

1. Buy and print a refundable ticket the same day you're flying.

2. Land in Thailand.

3. Cancel ticket.

4. Success.

check. Thank you for clarifying.

the 1 year ones need to be extended every 3 months. Unless it has changed in the past 2 years, that is how it was for all ED visas when I studied Thai.

Either way, it's not relevant to this post as the OP is talking about a Non-O visa.

@Clarissa ****

that has been the rule before, but you never know with Thai immigration, rules change for no reason all the time.

The safest bet is to do it in person, but he can always try to do it online and see if it works first, if it's a long drive to the immigration office.

The wait depends on the immigration office, if it's not busy when you go it could take less than 15 minutes.

@Clarissa ****

then it should all be free. He can do the 90 day report online after he has done the first one at your local immigration office.
