In the end we may be better off in Saudi. Never heard of such a , to say it softly, strange idea... What a bunch of B.........T.

I had trouble understanding why as a farang we are also not to drink Alcohol on election day and prior to this... Assuming you respect all this to start with. Given it some reflection I realized that allowing this would probably be a cause for major riots among the local, somehow understandable.... But what is the point after 1 month ban to allow it for 2 days?????

 

At least in saudi I knew there was a alcohol ban, and i could prepare.

I came to Thailand to get rid of these rules, seems i made a big mistake and have to look for another country to spend my old days.

I had no idea that computers had weekends and holidays off!   PML. 

I did Bht50k at 8am this morning, in my Bkk Bank at 2pm, as usual, as a Foreign Transaction. 

Unfortunately the GBP - THB went up from 40.14 to 40.40 so I missed out on about Bht 350. Damn!

I didn't either, but thats the way it is, no transfers on weekends and public holidays (maybe only for Thailand, i not know).

If you complete the transfer before 9am Thailand time (Monday to Friday) it will usually arrive in your Thai bank account the same day. If you complete the transfer after 9am (or over the weekend) it will arrive on your Thai bank's next working day. 

I have been transfering with TW in the evening, and it still arived the same day.

Weekends or holidays will be on the next working day 

If i transfer today, i will receive it today (normal within 10 minutes).

isn't Malaysia border closed?

Pnom Phen is in cambodia

 feel sorry for you, 

Are you sure it is an approval, and not a pending one, yellow stamp in right upper corner of the form?

Yesterday was an official holiday, so immigration was closed.

They need more than your passport number to do the report. TM6 number, date of arrival, permit to stay dae and etc.

you can still go to Chaeng Wattana, it is luchtime now, but they will reopen at 13.00.

I got my Affidavit from the Belgium embassy last month, I am still registered at my home town in Belgium.

I did had to go to the embassy in person to get the paper, but they by post back to you, if you want so. I received it 2 days later with EMS (40 baht extra). 

i got my new passport at my home country, so i entered with a new TM6 also, thats the reason why it gave no problems

i am using the online since2016 (the very beginning), never had a problem, even with a new passport.

I did a Transfer yesterday, just Username and PW.

Sometimes(but not always)  I get an SMS with am additional OTP.

But nothing has actually changed.

So, actually for me as a Belgium resident, they can transfer almost immediately since Belgium banks transfer real time. i use the Borderless Transferwise account. Maybe that's also the reason why it works so quickly?

I did a Tranferwise transfer this morning at 06:00 AM, I was surprised to get a sms from my SCB bank after 5 minutes that the money was already received.

Normally it always take 4 to 8 hrs to arrive.

This was the fastest I ever received money. I transfer from Belgium from KBC bank Belgium. TW used Kasikorn bank as partner bank this time.

i do TM47 for years onlin,never failed.

Now i am doing the TM30 also online, also no problems. Had PW within 1 minute after registration.

I report to CW bangkok.                       

Yes, I know.

But if you read the article, this is a new App still not out.

1 App for everything.

Just saw this on Pattayaone News website, hopefully this will solve all the commotions about TM30 and 90 days reporting

Normally that should do it, since you have no rental agreement.

Just give it a try, you will know immediatly.

I uploaded only my Passport photo page and first page of my rental contract.

Was accepted immediatly.

I live in Bangkok, so it is at Chaeng Watana.

I had my TM30 online done last Tuesday, within 5 minutes I had my UserID and password, seems it works now (hopefully).

All my Transfers are recorded as ATS (Automatic Transfer System) and this for the last year incl. this month.

I had a flight on a Wednesday 3 weeks ago, I was the only person for an Re-entry Permit, took about 5 minutes.

Advantage is that the IO let you skip the queu at Passport control, have done it for years never had to wait.
