I have been to a couple of banks in Bangkok and they won't let me open a bank account. They say I have to have a long term Visa. But I can't apply for a long term Visa without a bank account with 800k Baht in it. I feel like I'm caught in a Catch-22.

@Frank *********

sort of but I am asking for clarification on if I already have to have a bank account with 800k in a Thai bank Before I even ask for a 3 months extension. No bank I've been to in Bangkok is willing to open a bank account for me without some proof from immigration that I am going to be getting a non o visa.

I can apply for non o visa before I have a bank account? That's good news, the banks won't let you open an account on a 30 days tourist visa.
