Can you tell me about non b visas as in when applying for one outside the country do you have to show bank account and if so is there a minimum amount required and do the funds have to have been in there for a length of time ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Non-B visa from outside Thailand, there are no specific minimum bank account requirements or necessary funds to be shown. However, a signed contract with an employer in Thailand is required. There are two main types of Non-B visas: the single entry Non-B, which requires a 90-day reporting, and the multiple entry Non-B, suitable for frequent travelers, with each stay limited to 89 days.

For a Non-B visa, there is no minimum bank account that you need. A person does *NOT* need money in a bank account. A person does need a contract signed with an employer though.

 Yes, there are two types of Non-B visas:

1. A single entry Non-B visa with a one year extension of stay (very common). This is what most people use to enter Thailand when they are employed. However, a 90 day report is required (can be done online)

2. A multiple entry Non-B visa. This is used for people who travel frequently to Thailand to attend meetings. On each entry, they can stay no more then 89 days.

Are you now outside Thailand?

Is this for you or a family member?

i.e ...Your daughter ?

As you stated in October 2020 you and your daughter were on a retirement extension of stay trailing on your husbands retirement extension.

 I am still here in Thailand but my daughter had to go back to uk because she was too old to be a dependent and so got a METV but and was here in Thailand for about 9 months with that. Right now she is in uk but has got the opportunity of a job back here so will get a non b visa .

 that is what I assumed...it is for your daughter due to her age.

What kind of Non B is she getting?

Not easy to obtain at this time unless a teacher.

You need to look at the website of the thai consulate in the country where you're applying and read the requirements.

Are you IN thailand now or are you outside?

I ask because what you're not gonna do is "bounce out and back" easily to get a Non-B from any consulate in the immediate area like people could before this covid shit show started :(
