At most immigration offices you can apply when you have 30 days or less left.

At some like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, you can apply when you have 45 days or less left.

There's no difference in chance of approval. You either qualify or you don't.

If you go to Laos you'll need to physically go to the embassy in the morning after you submit your visa application online in order to pay with cash.

Laos is the only place like that. If you go elsewhere you both apply and pay online and never have to leave your hotel room if you don't want to.

Special considerations are to make note of holidays, both Thai holidays and holidays of the country you go to.

No Thai health insurance required. Just insurance that meets the requirements, can be from anywhere. Or proof of $100,000 in the bank.

But this post is not about specific requirements. They haven't even started applying yet, so it's not relevant to the post.

I've never needed anything more than a TM30 to get a residence certificate in 3 different provinces.

Each province is different, but have you actually been to your office to find out the requirements?

A non-OA visa is only available from your home country Thai embassy. Are you sure you're correctly talking about a non-OA visa? This is a visa that requires mandatory health insurance every year, a criminal records check, a medical certificate, and other things.

The non-O visa does not require any of these things and is available from almost any Thai embassy and from inside of Thailand if you already have a Thai bank account.

I'm sure there are agents that are open. But they can't do anything with immigration today, because immigration is closed.

Depends on what the problem is on whether they ask for more or just reject it

I'm not sure what you are asking. There are multiple sections to upload information. If you need to upload more than one document for a section, use an online tool to combine documents into one file.
