Previously you only were entitled to a 15 days Visa on Arrival at the airport at 2000 baht. Since July 15 last year you’re moved to the 60 days visa exemption list together with 92 other nations.

Previously you only got a 15 days visa exemption if you entered by land or sea, but that’s back to before 2016. (30 days by air, but now 60 days at any entry points).

If you only got 15 days at an airport you could be among citizen only allowed to a 15 days Visa on Arrival who now since July 15 last year are entitled to a 60 days visa exemption.

This was after the crackdown and agent couldn’t open anymore. I was denied in three branches in Pattaya (Bangkok Bank and Krungthai) with a Non O visa and allowed in this BB on Jomtien.

If you’re embassy doesn’t offer to give you a affidavit letter regarding income you’ll need a bank account to bank the required 800K baht to apply for an extension of stay.

@Osian *******

Bangkok Bank on second road Jomtien opposite Rompho marked. (Between Soi 5 and 7) accepted to open a bank account on the initial 90 days Non O visa with a driver license (national/thai) and receipt from a TM.30 registration at a hotel. This was in February.

@Albert *******

Same question and answer as above;

If your embassy doesn’t offer to give you a affidavit letter regarding income, you’ll need to prove the first year yourself by showing proof of 800K baht in a Thai bank. For the second year after showing proof of twelve months consecutive transfers of minimum 65K baht you can switch to the income method. And you’ll need to prove the requirements individually.

Maybe a bit to early to apply. A tourist visa is valid for 90 days after it’s issued from your embassy/consulate and processing time in London is normally two-three days.

Sounds familiar.😉
