I've been talking to a lot of people about this, but looking for other thoughts or knowledge. How does entering visa exempt differ from TR with respect to converting (I know, nothing to convert exactly) to another visa? Insurance is still a requirement, as is showing a flight in and out. It can all be done online. The checklist I have from the Thai embassy in Malaysia does indicate you must show paid accommodations for a TR visa. Not sure if it's a requirement of the COE as well or just the TR visa. Very wordy I know. Thanks

- so you can get it extended every 60 days currently?

@Bobby *******

- how are the covid extensions being done in Thailand now? We are all being kicked out of Malaysia this week.

@Bobby *******

- 800k baht should be good incentive for a bank, but maybe not.

@Bobby *******

- but a bank account may be obtained without a visa?

@Bobby *******

- OK, but there is no visa.

@Bobby *******

- a visa free entry is not a tourist visa. Are you using it as the same?

@Bobby *******

- I didn't think we could open an account on a visa free entry.

@Tod ********

- I think we can at the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur. That however is why I posted as I did, I wanted to know what we can do on a visa free entry.

- possibly years waiting for the world to open up.
