Yes, a bit of a palaver đŸ˜„

But sabai sabai… patience pays off in Thailand.

And you need a lot of patience for the complete process.

You have to stay outside of Thailand, when you finalize the first approval for a non-o visa.

You do it online and prepare it in evisa in Thailand, but the last step, paying and finalize your approval have to be outside of Thailand.

The approval date has to be later then the stamp leaving Thailand and arriving for example in Laos in you passport!

Then wait for approval, they might ask you more. I had to explain why I want to stay in Thailand for example. I recommend 2 weeks, even if it usually not takes not more than 5 working days.

the transfer receipt shows, that’s an international transfer by wise Europe. And as far as I know, it has to be from outside Thailand.

But you are right, they use local partner for transferring.

yes 2 month and after extensions 3 more months.

it cant be more than 2 because the first non-o have only 3 months and you cant get a bank account with non-o.

And it has to be a international transfer, i made it by using wise, in euro and let wise change it, its more expensive but a sure transfer for immigration.
