Personally I'd do the Non-O so no need to visit Immigration and no requirement for proof of onward travel

Usually you will need a residence certificate from Immigration to open a bank account (hotel address is fine)

Land borders are still closed but there were to interuptions to flights

@Dca ****

Always a good idea to do a small deposit or withdrawal and update the bank book on the way to Immigration

What does the RTE London website require regarding the type of DTV you are applying for?

@Todd *********

2000B for visas,1900B for extensions. Closest geographically is not correct, you go where your TM30 is filed.

@Anthony *******

Yes if he qualifies as I do

Does your Immigration Office accept the monthly international transfers for an Extension of Stay based on marriage as many don't which could explain your bank's response?

@Tracey *******

what?

All Visas are now online and all UK Consulates are closed. You can get the Non-O marriage visa which gives you 90 days on entry then the visit Thai Family 60 day extension to give you up to 5 months each stay or go for the full 12 month extension of stay each year (no visa then needed for subsequent year if the extension is still valid and a re-entry permit purchased).
