If you have informed yourself just a little then you know that the money must be in the bank long before extension. And obviously you will have to have a room the day you arrive.

And then: it’s hard to drop money before opening an account.

So there you go:

Rent

Account

Money

Extension

If you’ve prepared well, the first 3 are done on the first day and the last 90’days later. That’s what I did (although I opened the account on day 2 and the money arrived the next day 😉 )

Just make sure that the bank recognizes the money as foreign!!

I all depends on the person checking you in.

So you either by an onward ticket right away or wait and see (and maybe need to stand in line twice).

At onwardtickets dot com you can buy one for 10-15 online within seconds.

Edit:

Concerning your retirement.

You need to get a bank account asap and put your 800k in (hopefully they will show as foreign transfer!)

I have Bangkok bank and kasikorn and I recommend kasikorn as 711 doesn’t allow scanning QR codes from others and Apple doesn’t accept Bangkok bank card as payment method in an Apple ID

You’d loose a lot of money.

Wise exchange festes are 2-3% better than other banks.

@Stephen ********

Not questionened. You’d need to step out of line and do it before being accepted.

@Rick ********

They don’t need to ask. The officer can see it because it is tight to your passport

@William *****

there’s many iPads in the airport to let you fill the form

Yes

@Salma *******

when did you have to show vaccination when entering a country? Ever?

While covid, yes. And beside that?

Why should you need it now? Going to endangered countries?

@Anthony *******

Buriram is eeeeasy.

Maximum queue I’ve ever seen was 6 or 8 people. And the guys help with everything including getting a bank statement that I forgot. He did it in my banking app and sent it to their printer.

@John *****

Because they go after tourist and DTV.
