It is my understanding that I can get a 90 Non-o visa without bank account .. I will have to open bank account once I have visa and let money sit for 2 months before getting extension to 1 year

I have all required paperwork less bank account in Thailand. I am bringing copies of my USA bank to show funds are available to transfer

thank you , I believe I can start the process to convert my tourist visa into a non-o retirement from within Thailand. I’ll have to start with immigration again in Nonthaburi.

@David *********

it appears agents are having a hard time also.

I cannot understand how having a bank account is required to acquire a long term visa with these new banking regulations in place.

Very frustrating
