That’s what I thought so too. Cannot find such an option at the Thai Embassy.

Hi Chris, good sharing thanks. For the accommodation address, can I use the hotel I’m staying or must it be a long term rental apartment?

I should get an agent for the bank account opening ASAP once I land in Bangkok? I’m considering the timeline and which to do first…

What steps should we take upon arrival in Thailand to extend our Non-O immigrant visas to one year?

Chris *****

good info thanks. Correct me if I’m wrong, so 1st is to apply for non-O 90 days visa at the Thai embassy in my home country. 2nd when come to Thailand then go to Immigration office to apply for 1year extension non-O visa. Once I get the extension then I apply dependent visa for my wife (below 50yrs old). Correct?

At which point to open the Thai bank account and deposit the B$800k?

Fully agree. This is an FB group only which offers advice, suggestions and information only, it is NOT Thailand Customs & Immigration 😅 In the end, it’s your choice, your own actions. ✌🏻
