although I highly doubt you’ll be able to switch visas in country. They may be able to help you.

In Bangkok you can apply for the RC and pay 200 baht. They post it to the address on your TM30 in around 7 days

Many that can afford to do so indeed have separate accounts. One for immigration where they leave the amount untouched and use another account for spending. No issue with that other than the pretty much lack of interest on the 800k. Lucky if you get 1%

@James *******

Love to see that stamp. If you are able to enter visa exempt they’ll give you a 60 day stamp. No one gets a 30 day stamp these days.

@Arianna ********

Hard copies of everything would be best.

Also to avoid confusion at the airport you are not getting a Visa on Arrival so don’t follow those signs.

You’ll get a free 60 day visa exempt stamp from any of the “foreign passports” desks.

OX is an incredibly rare visa to get. Probably because of the 3m baht stipulation. Prior to all embassies going online you almost only ever seen it from the Sydney consulate as they were the only ones that would sell it with funds in a local bank account.

Since switching to online there are almost no posts about it, which suggests it’s incredibly rare to get

You can certainly use a Non O once a year. It’s up to the embassy that issues it as to whether they’d do it multiple times but no real reason why the shouldn’t.

Visa exempt entries back to back or after an extension will certainly raise red flags.

All visa applications are online. You need to be in the country you are applying at.

You don’t go to an embassy anymore (apart from Laos and Cambodia to pay) unless asked for an interview.
