Don't forget TM30 if staying with friends etc. It seems this should be completed within 24 hrs of arrival. Never heard of it before and my partner was 'fined' or surcharged 1600 baht for not completing it when I arrived.

Of course it is never a problem until you apply for an extension.

I got my letter a couple of days ago and a nice apology for the delay. You can email the FCO and they respond very quickly indeed, a link is on the Embassy website. Now have my visa extension.

I was advised to open the account in a branch in your own country first. My friend from USA opened his in New York branch of Bangkok Bank. Hope that helps.

That's encouraging, I was worried at the absence of any form of acknowledgement.

I have sent my request to the email address given via Consular Replies. That was 3 days ago and heard nothing back. I'm told there is a hotline but don't know the number. I've just posted that question here.
