If your applying in Jomtien you haven’t enough time as they require 2 months seasoning for the initial non-o so you would have to do a border bounce and even that is becoming a problem now ,Cambodian borders are closed so fly somewhere for a few days return and after your money has been in your Thai bank for two full months apply if it’s another office just go apply

@Ellen ************

Agents are having trouble opening banks

@Graham *****

there’s only a couple offices that require the money seasoned for the non-o but it’s still the way to go before you arrive in Thailand

Why would you do that just do a border bounce

@Matthew ********

they will never not refund your money unless it shady and that won’t come from the bank

Leave and apply for the non-o in another country it’s probably the only way you’ll get a bank account opened in these times then get you 800k in there 2 full months before you apply for your one year extension,you’ve done an exempt with a extension so if you just bounce prepare to be pulled aside and grilled possibly getting denied entry there getting tough now

@Francois *******

you can’t apply for a DTV in Thailand and they don’t need soft power workcation is the way to go an agent to get you all the way through could cost up to 125,000

@Chris ********

they won’t be opened,but I’m sure it’ll be straightened out for you good luck have a good holiday

@Jisel ******

try Cambodia travel Soi Buakhoa across from holiday inn

@Peter ***************

yes but to change from the OA to a non-o he’ll need to leave and either apply out of the country but he’ll need the 800k to extend it hopefully he’ll have saved enough
