just their rules unfortunately. It would make it easier if it wasn't the case.

It was via the Royal Thai Embassy E Visa site. I don't think you can apply in person anymore. It might be worth trying again later or try on a different device. Best of luck.

What are the steps to open a bank account in Thailand as an expat?

Mark ********

You will need a residency certificate from immigration. You can obtain this yourself or pay an agent (cost me 1500 baht). Bangkok Bank is probably the easiest option. Always good to take a Thai friend with you if possible. You can do this on a tourist visa as well.

What are the requirements for the Special Tourist Visa in Thailand, particularly regarding accommodation proof?

Mark ********

On the accomodation front, you can book a cheap hostel for the first 3 months (pick one that has free cancellation policy) and cancel this once you get out of quarantine.

I am in Chiang Mai and so used an agent here. Nearly all agents in Bangkok should be able to take care of this for similar price I would imagine.

Just google Thai Visa Service and there should be one close to your location.
