in any currency equal to 20K baht. This is rarely checked in the immigration (especially regarding western tourists), most important is onward ticket and up to a week accommodation if asked.

@Gary *******

You have one month to open a bank account and bank the required 800K baht to apply for your first year extension of stay within two months. (As it has to be seasoned for two months).

If you plan to enter on 60 days visa exemption be aware of that an onward ticket out within 60 days is required for each entry even though you plan to apply for an extension at your local immigration.

Ok, he might need to recirculate some baht each month then.😉

@James *******

I agree, but he’s sick.

You can ask for a 30 days extension on the 4th of November. (Your stay is valid to the 5th).

You’ll need minimum 800K baht for the initial Non O visa and your first year extension of stay. For your future extensions you can qualify by showing proof of twelve months consecutive transfers of min 65K baht a month.

0 baht divided by twelve gives you 65 866 baht a month which is sufficient.

Yes as

@Pete ******

states, you can quality from your second extension of stay after you’re able to show proof of twelve months consecutive transfers of 65K baht. This is an alternative way to prove sufficient required funds, but as your embassy doesn’t offer to provide you an affidavit letter to confirm your income you’ll need to prove the first year yourself.

you’ll get a visa on arrival quite fast at the border at $ 35-40 USD. Processing time for a e-visa is normally 3 working days.
