If you already have the visa, it doesn't really matter anymore. If you don't, then you better figure out a way to qualify quickly.

You can get a re-entry permit for any entry stamp if you want to. But it doesn't do anything except prevent your permission to stay in Thailand from being cancelled when you leave Thailand. It won't add any extra time or anything.

If you're asking if the 1 year multiple-entry non-O visa based on marriage is still available, the answer to that is no. The only non-O visa currently is the 90 day single entry non-O visa.

It's likely the instructions from the embassy say to print the visa and hand it over with your passport. For Thailand, you always want everything printed. You probably could get in without it printed, but you would need to make sure the passport control officers understands you have it because there's a risk of you being stamped in incorrectly without it. You'll still need it printed later anyways for your extension and possibly for your bank.

@Glenn ******
your search showed wrong. It's been multiple years already for evisa. Thai embassies do not even allow foreigners inside anymore

@David *******
Generally Kasikorn or SCB due to the increased transfer limits from Wise to those banks. Bangkok Bank also has an increased transfer limit but that bank is best to be avoided for now.

In the end though, it's whatever bank will actually let you open an account that is the best one.

First of all, Dallas has nothing to do with anything. There is no such thing as going to a Thai embassy anymore. Everything is done online.

Second, you're mixing up visa types. 65,000 has nothing to do with DTV, that's number related to retirement visas.

The financial requirements for a DTV are showing proof of 500,000 baht or equivalent in your local currency to qualify.

No other bank freezes the money for any amount of time. Bangkok Bank are the only ones doing that.

@Jim ******
then you try a different branch. The manager of each branch sets the requirements. Some don't want anything to do with foreigners while others do.

@Jim ******
then you don't do much reading. It's might take trying a few branches, but still plenty possible with the right visa and documents.

You note which flight is your ARRIVAL flight. Which fight are you landing in Thailand with?
