E-visa and opening bank account
DrJack54 replied to The Great Tortoise's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As I mentioned earlier...you may have success with Kasikorn without bank requiring a certificate of residence. If banks insist upon COR that can be obtained at local immigration office. -

Is this a wind up. When the non O-A is issued it has a period of validity. Every enter to Thailand prior to visa expiry you will be given a 12 month permission of stay stamp. Hence if you exit and reenter just prior to expiry you will be stamped for 12 months POS. One rider is that you need to provide another 12 month health insurance. What don't you understand! -

The non O-A was not the best choice. Since she has the non O-A she will require ongoing useless insurance for every extension. This forum has zillion threads of folk exiting Thailand to "kill off" their non O-A. Then renter having obtained a non O based on retirement from outside of Thailand or by entering visa exempt or tourist visa and obtaining a non O at local immigration office. That enables ongoing extensions without the need for health insurance. -

I repeat....is your mother's plan to "retire" in Thailand and remain here? Simple question. -

It's not clear your mother's Long term plans. If she plans ongoing living in Thailand then the non O-A was perhaps not the best option. If it's for 2 years then fine. If longer, then extensions to a non O based on retirement is perhaps better option as no insurance requirements. -

Read @Liquorice post where he states the following..... "You are aware you can stay in Thailand for up to 2 years with the 0-A visa, before the need to visit an Immigration office to extend her permission of stay"... Yes currently she has a 12 month permission of stay. Non O-A is a multi entry visa. Every time she exits and reenters Thailand she will be stamped in for 12 months for the validity of the visa. If she exits and reenters just prior to expiry she will receive another 12 months. Her need for extension will be in a couple of years if she wants. -

OP, with a non O-A visa (show eVisa printout) I'm sure you with find Kasikorn will open an account. Which immigration office.
