No agents needed if you follow the recommended route....firstly apply for a nonO visa(>50) in your home country....fly to thailand and get a permanent place to stay(lease agreement) ....now u can try to open a bank acct with nonO and lease agreement (kbank/SCB) try as many branch as possible......if still fails go to immigration office and get a residency certificate and a letter from immigration stating u need a bank acct for your extensions.....good luck you will definitely get a bank acct if u try hard enough Or u might be lucky and get it on first try....Cheers

Apply nonO (doesnt require insurance) fly to thailand and get local insurance

@Andy *********

how difficult is it to checkin into a hotel near immigration for 2nights against traveling out of the country and wait about 1week for the approval of nonO?

@John ********

@John ********

get copies of owner's bluebook and ID will be more convincing.....She can send u tru email have it print out and let your wife sign with blue pen Cheers

@John ********

create one.... templates easily found

@Jack *******

not even with TM87? I believe many other immigration office does that

@Andy *********

I didn't know which immigration does not do nonO (TM87) there are so many that does....shd he go to another immigration office OR fly to neighboring country?

Fly in on visa exempt apply in immigration office for the initial 90days nonO with the 800k den do the 1yr extension when less den 30days left on the initial nonO

Some banks don't really need residency cert(kbank/SCB) ..lease agreement and nonO is good enough ....bring your wife along try as many branch as possble....dont be afraid of the yellow book thing its not compulsory if they do ask ...skip to next branch
