Yes, private accommodation or hotel.

Agree, it’s quite strict now. People get denied even with a Non O visa unless they do the one year extension of stay which definitely needs a bank account first.

Technically DTV is a tourist visa and therefore not easy to open a bank account even with an agent.

@Nick ******

Ok, when I applied for a Non O recently I just filled in a flight number, not e-ticket number. Flight numbers are easy to find if you make itinerary. I just gave a number to a Thai person as I stayed private. If you’re going to stay in a hotel, just give the hotel number. The system never asked for my own Thai number.

You don’t have to buy tickets for a Non O-A visa, only give a itinerary. Do you have someone you know in Thailand, just give the Thai number as a contact person.

Nothing new is posted as nothing has changed. The 60 days visa exemption initiated 15th July last year is still the only updated official information regarding this, -and you can still apply for a 30 days extension as well.

Ok, then I guess it could be a bit murky anyway as internet connection and smart phones are a bit of the main issue here.

@Dca ****

I guess these TDAC kiosks will communicate directly with the immigration then so no print or digital QR-code is needed?

You formally don’t need a thai bank account to purchase a property, but you’ll need a thai bank account to apply for a visa or do an extension of stay in Thailand. (Unless your embassy offers to provide you a affidavit letter regarding income). So best option is to apply for a visa before you come with your bank at home and open a bank account after when in Thailand for your extension.

Tore Valberg It depends on how you do the registration. If it is done electronically you will get a screenshot or receipt. If it is done manually you will get such a receipt in your passport. I don't think I have mentioned the 90-day report either.
