Can I open a bank account in Thailand with a retirement 90 visa while staying in a hotel?

Andreas *********

@Ossie ********

you could not be more wrong. The "retirement 90 visa" he wrote about, is the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa, and it is not a tourist visa but a long term visa, and enough to get a bank account opened. He doesn't need to already be on the 1-year Extension of the Stay Permit to get a bank account opened

How can I attach new documents in PDF format for my Thai Evisa application?

Andreas *********

use your computer, not the phone. Get a free "pdf-converter" App . . . like PDF24 Launcher

Is it normal for a NON-O visa application to be pending approval just a week before travel?

@TG ********

sadly, many Thai embassies ignore it and ask the applicants for already booked tickets in and out

@Dylan *******

the 6-months multi entry Tourist Visa has been around since Thai embassies discontinued issuing the double-entry tourist visa . .some time around 2004 . . . . .It can only be applied for in your country of residence

@Lonnie *******

was it a multi entry 6-months tourist visa? Because that's what happens, the Thai embassy will wait until the last day before you fly, so you do not lose too many days of the 6-months visa validity which starts on the date of issue . .ACTUALLY they did EVERYTHING right

@Dylan *******

you are right, it is absurd. In the light when you consider that the e-visa form only asks you for your INTENDED flight dates, not for already booked tickets . . I think it being unfair and humiliating

@Graham *****

I have also never seen a post to that effect, so I assume correctly it doesn't apply

@Wayne *******

well, I think you are wrong. It can say "pending approval" and he still will receive an email with a request for more documents. The bracket where it might say "pending approval" does not contain the possibility to mention a document request

@Dylan *******

the long delay is very unusual, however the explanation might be, that the high season is approaching and the consulate has to process more applications than they do during the low season

Dylan Taylor . .did you check your spam folder? Maybe the embassy has asked you for additional documents and now is waiting for your response
