These are the current Bangkok bank requirements. It was a lot easier before a year ago when they tightened up on requirements

They can go ask. As most have discovered, "This is Thailand" and not everything they do or write is logical. Though this is the general list. Theres no harm in asking.

Here are the documents required for opening account at the Bangkok Bank. See the section on buying condo. It shouldn’t be difficult for your situation compared to a regular tourist coming off the street.

So in a nutshell, if she has a degree and a job it’s not that difficult. I have Thai friends who got work visas in Australia and all had a degree. Might make it complicated and need your sponsorship. Research the Australian immigration website for full details on what is required. I’ve been going through a process to bring my gf to NZ on a work visa. In my case I’ve had to get an METV and live here with her with a condo lease and collecting all the proofs of living together at same address. Having that documentation would help you greatly if she can’t obtain a visa on her own merits.

you can book it from the moon if you have wifi signal there 😂. It’s always much cheaper to book about 2 or more months out

book your 2nd ticket from Thailand to the next country you want to go to. It’s better that you book it early as the prices are cheaper. The only snag is it needs to be at 30 days, but you can always change that later. I see that Scoot airline have good prices and a change ticket pricing option if you think you might change the date. Airasia is bad for being expensive with flight changes. You should be more specific on when you are planning for that next country visit though if you want the best advice

To find a border bounce company just google "Bangkok border run" (replace city with where you are).
