So were you able to obtain the 90 day non-o visa from a visa exempt status? We all know now that the 800k Thai bank account is required. I think.

I've certainly received both answers in here when I asked the question. Yes I can change, no I can't change. Either people are guessing or it can be done. I think the trick is getting the Thai bank account with a visa exempt. Maybe. Probably. 🤷‍♂️

- certainly everything will fall into place if we are able to get a bank account open. That's the trick. Does it make any difference coming in visa exempt with regards to opening an account?
