just report at immagration it's easy or do it online you don't have to leave the country.

@Dumitrescu *****************

says who l always come in on a one way ticket. Immagration never check it's not a requirement of entry. Maybe you are getting ripped off by the airline you fly with it's a onsell thing. If that's the case why can you buy a one way ticket?

@Dick ********

yes also explain that you live here and you need the account to transfer money from your country. Also add that you want the app to pay bills here.bank will set up the app for you. It's amazing if you are nice to Thais how much they will help you. But if you are gruff and look down on them they close up

@Michael *********

1 or 2 years is permanent as far as Visa's and Thai immigration are concerned.you don't fit the tourist category.

@Carlos ******

correct that's why you need the Non B 90 days that gives them time to process the work permit and extrnsion. But if you are working on a tourist visa it's illegal. They need to give you a contract and approval from education dept. Can't remember all of it. But you need the non B first

@Jan *****************

l have always done visa on arrival as a tourist always one way ticket and did my extension. I was the same watch for promo flights or packages. Maybe l was lucky 🤞

I would check with your school. Tourist visa is not the way to go if you are requiring a Non B as a teacher. The usual route is the school needs to give you the paperwork you go out of Thailand and get a Non B 90 days and return then the school gets your work permit and extends you non B. Check with the school. They should be arranging all your paperwork

@Jan *****************

but how does that work if he has no ticket ?? He wants to wait until the prices are better

What visa do you have? Get you paperwork together and try to apply yourself . It doesn't matter where your account is. The bank will set up the app on your phone so you can do everything you need with the app and it's free. A card is 400 bht a year and you get hit with fees if you use it away from your local branch. It's not that hard if language is a barrier take a Thai friend better still go to her bank. In bkk there should be staff with good English. Don't forget it's Thailand they have the power 555 l always start with can you help me

You don't need a visa from you country Thai embassy waste of time and money if you are coming as a tourist. Just arrive in Thailand and you get a 60 day stamp if you want to stay another 30 days just apply at immigration where your stay and cost is 1900 bht. So just keep looking for your cheap flight and get yourself over here.
