Just fyi, it might be very challenging to get a Thai bank account based on visa exempt or tourist visa. Even with my non OA visa many banks declined as krungthai, Krungsri,.. Only kasikorn in my case and Bangkok bank support this based on my knowledge.

Better you wait for your non o visa from Australia and book the flight a little bit later or flexible ticket to change departure date.

Health insurance Is also valid until October 30th, it’s linked together by Thai consulate. Contracting and payment before october 12th as extension 30th of Oct. plus 1 year. 🙏

@James *******

visa sticker says valid until October 30th 2023, multiple entry non OA. So if I do leave twice Thailand and return from 2nd trip October 12th -> no need any re entry permit correct: ? But visa extension after 12th asap tbdone.
