Ok, this is from my bank, but we all know things might vary between banks and even branches within the same bank.

@Victor ******

Ok, I paid 700 thb for my Be1st card in Bangkok Bank and they withdraw 15 thb every month as commission/Annual Fee.

@Victor ******

So the fact that you personally don’t pay anything for your card in your personal bank, means that other people are lying or scammed?🤔

Normally you’re allowed to get a 60 days tourist visa with an onward ticket within 90 days, but this is a bit embassy dependent. And normally no questions at the immigration, unless they start questioning you for another reason regarding your previous travel history to Thailand.

The thai immigration has decided that foreigners need 65K baht a month in a year to support themselves. For the first year extension of stay you don’t have time to prove this for a year, so you’ll need to prove the whole year at once. (65K x 12 = 780K —> 800K). For the second year you’ll have time to prove 65k a month for twelve consecutive months and the money in your bank is free to use.

But Canadians don’t have to tie up and money or show proof of income in any other ways than an affidavit letter from your embassy confirming your income.

@Henrik ****

Ha has to wait three months after the extension is issued, then he can use up to 400K, but he needs to top up again two months prior to his next extension.

Do you know anything about restrictions on border runs for Russians? As I’ve understand some of the countries with bilateral agreements also are excused from these restrictions.

@Kay *****

Yes, I guess you applied online for a e-visa. Then you just print the pdf and do a quick re-entry to activate your Non O.

@Kay *****

Do u have a bank account in Thailand? It could as mentioned be some issues to open an account without a Long Stay visa unless you use an agent.

You have to apply in Thailand where you have your TM.30, but if you just find out that you will h go back, it should be now issues to apply for a 90 days Non O in country Thailand and extension of stay. You’ll need at least 15 days and you’ll need to show proof of funds in your bank in Thailand at date when you apply.
