Probably not, same happened to me with only one savings account in the same bank as my debit konto still was active. They demanded a long stay visa for reopening this konto again.

You can as an example get a ticket from Don Muang - KL at 35 USD. A tourist visa is normally 35-40 USD and it’s formally not excused from onward ticket requirements.

You can alternatively call your airline and ask for their policy regarding this. There’s also websites offering only bookings at 15-16 USD. Google onward ticket.

Then you don’t need to apply for any visa, you can just enter on a 60 days visa exemption. Formally you’ll need a ticket out of Thailand within 60 days. Rarely checked at the immigration, but I know some airlines in Vietnam has been quite strict regarding this as it’s their responsibility to check if the passengers fulfils formal requirements. I know people only have purchased a cheap bus ticket out, but some airlines might require a flight ticket. If you go to a website it should be quite easy to purchase a cheap flight ticket as an example to Phnom Penh. It would be cheaper than to apply for a tourist visa anyway and you’ll be fine with all formal requirements.

Depends on your passport nation. If you’re not entitled to a 60 days visa exemption, you’ll need to apply for a new 60 days e-visa through the embassy/consulate in Vietnam. Formally you’ll need a ticket out of Thailand after the initial 60 days even though you plan to apply for a local extension. If you apply for a tourist visa, the embassy might require it for the prosess or if you enter on visa exemption your airline might require it during check in.

@Ken ******

Yes, thank you for your update regarding Hua Hin👍

@Ken ******

No, this varies as said. Previously they demanded one 90 days report in Bangkok to get a RC, but now it’s not formally required. I’ve got several RC’s myself only on the previous 30 days visa exemption, a couple of times with help of an agent.

Then it should be quite straightforward.

You’ll need to prove your residence in some way. The requirements can vary. Long term lease is sufficient. Visit your immigration and ask for their requirements for issuing a residence certificate if you don’t have substantial documentation. An agent can assist you if you have problems getting one yourself.

For most immigrations it’s sufficient that the funds are in your account at date when you apply for the initial 90 days Non O visa. A couple of immigrations as an example Jomtien demands two months seasoning also for the visa.

When you apply for the first year extension and stay (and later extensions) the 800K baht needs to be seasoned for two months prior to your application and three months after the extension is issued and it can nevner drop below 400K baht.
