Thanks Tod! We applied earlier today and guessed that was the one to apply for. Glad we guessed correctly 🙂 I didn't know that we couldn't do it inside Thailand, I just thought it would same time and hassle by doing it ahead of time. We should be able to extend it and change it to multiple entry once we get there right?
I have seen that suggestion before to get the non o in my home country before coming to Thailand, and that's what I would like to do. But looking at the Thai embassy website it lists the bank account as a requirement. It that correct?
I do have a Schwab account. I use their ATM card a lot while travelling internationally. That's free but has a $1k daily limit. Looking through the website it looks like they do charge wire fees. Maybe I misread that?
