I’m using a Visa agent. There’s no way I ever would’ve figured it out on my own. Last week I had to go to Laos  for a week. The visa agent had an office there they were able to get my Non O visa.  in four days so I only had to be  there for five days.
 I had to show three months of bank statements with my balance over $1000.
 now I’m back in Thailand and tomorrow I go to the visa agent to fill out a residency document. It’ll take a week to get my residency document back from the government after that I can open a Thai bank account.
I just went through this last week.  to get the Non 0 visa  I had to leave Thailand and go to Laos.  I had to show three months of bank statements with my account balance over $1000. There was a couple days where it dropped below 1000, but they were still able to make it work.
 I also had to show that I had the ฿400,000 for my marriage visa in my US bank account
yes since I was already in Thailand, I had to go to Laos  to get my typo visa. Actually I’m at the airport. Getting ready to fly back to Thailand right now. It took four days once I was in Laos  to get my non 0 visa.
On a sidenote, it was crazy how much food and things in Luang Prabang cost.  in the tourist area was five times higher cost than the  tourist area of Chiang Mai
wow thank you so much.  they make it so confusing. But yes, I know that  my agent pays the government. It was worth it at the Department to get married because we went past a lot of people that were in line.
after I get the typo visa in Laos, I can open a Thai bank account and transfer the money. Yes that surprise me that they wanna see the balance for the last three months and my other bank account.
