There are two apps.

Yeah makes no sense.

Try the other version and it will work, just did it recently.

what's your point? You don't qualify without an account so you have to get it outside and then get an account. That's a banking issue NOT an immigration.

you absolutely can change. As long as you qualify on all counts.If you do not have a bank account, you don't qualify. If you do not have enough time left on your stamp usually around 15 -21 days. There are reasons that they tell you to leave and do it out of country. But your experience, possibly lost in translation, or too much info at once.

Anonymous participant purchasing a course does not mean you have to attend as it is a leisure activities.Like a gym membership you never use.There is no attendance or accountability to it. Other visas like an education ED, REQUIRE attendance and even then are only loosely monitored.

Depending on where you are and the entire situation, which is unknown, it's possibly realistic.

Phuket for example it is getting quite expensive.

Questions would be, whats really included:

Bank account?

Money "fix"?

90 day visa?

1 year extension?

Multi reentry permit?

Visa/entry history, will you be denied entry if you leave again?

Are they fixing some other issues, rental contracts/TM30?

There are variables that will drive the price up and simply some agents are more expensive than others.

Bottom line if you can't because you don't qualify or won't because you don't want too, then you have to pay someone.

We see prices anywhere from 14K and up depending where and level of assistance needed.

I personally prefer my 1900b/yr and a little running around.

Maybe another 500b in fuel, copies and bank docs.

Choose another visa, if you want ease and have the money Thai Privilege/Elite

Otherwise non OA doesn't require any money in Thailand (unless you want to extend(

Simplest, cheap, easiest, NON-O 90 DAY.
