So I guess if you come on a short term visa you will not be able to open an account and have the money in place in time without locking it away for 4 months

No.

You can use Wise. Set it up to make and accept payments in any currency.

@Stuart **********
thank you. Hopefully with the lawyer involved in the transfer it goes a little smoother.

Fall back is I travel back up to BKK and do the first one at my usual government building as I still have the apartment for that month. They like the first one when you return to be in person and then online okay.

Just take your actual visa into the bank. The passport is just a verification of entry on what basis. The bank will need your long term visa, passport and proof of residency.

No shortcuts I am afraid
