What did you not understand? It is only applicable to people who already got an extension granted. It is not a further grace period, it is not another amnesty. Who does not have an extension is on overstay from today on. Simple. Like it or not.

Try Bangkok HQ not Phuket.

????

The horse that told us was Phuket News ????

Meaning no further amnesty, just people that got an extension already can stay till end of October.

Phuket likes to run their own stunts.

No update from Royal Gazette, so this is still not in effect. Hold your horses.

Where are all these Tourists going? Pattaya and Patong and Koh Samui, are like ghost towns!

Into quarantine and then a hotel with deep pockets that got the connections. After the mandatory 30 day waste of money they will be happy to leave the disaster zone.

You go to immigration and get an extension of stay! 

You can't get an extension before your visa expires, you also can't get an extension if you don't have the required funds for 2 months minimum.

Never fix problems at the root. Party on. This country gets better every single day ????. Not.

Really? There are 2(!) Wuhan cases now incountry.

It's of course up to you how you burn your money. Chaeng Wattana just charged 800B, Chiang Mai 1600B for missing TM30. Good luck ????

I confirm 

You are wrong 

1) I did extend my visa a week ago at the immigration where I had to give the TM 30. I did ask the question and I was told that, now, the original TM 30 is valid

 

2) As I have previously written: I enquired with the due authorities when you challenged my comment.

The answer is the same: the first TM30 stands as long as you are staying in Thailand, whether you stay at a hotel or another place, for a short period of time ( can’t be bothered to look for the exact date now but it is official since June )

 

That is my last message regarding the matter as their content are the same. 
 

have a great day 

Yeah well, congrats on that. What immi was it? I have seen many people paying up in CW because they did not have the correct TM30. But as everything in this country, tomorrow all may be different again ????

Hey 

you must have missed my reply.

kindly check it 

The answer is “no” 

One does not have to fill again a TM 30 in case they leave their residence for a short period of time and where they stay ( hotels or not ) during that “break” is irrelevant 

see my post 

 

You do not understand what happens when anyone fills a TM30 for you. Your previous one will be rendered invalid and you are automatically registered at the new address.

This has nothing to do with short trips away where you never needed to fill one in the first place (24h rule). If you fill one or get one done for you elsewhere, you need to file back another one to reset your address to your home.

Don't believe? Ask the friendly immigration officer in your neigborhood ????

My non-o should normally last me until April next year.

But because of the unusual circumstances, I can't use it.

Yeah, well, that is the one (not so) special case they avoid to address for reasons unknown. Nobody really is affected by some work permit / B issue as in the original posting. Many people on the other hand still waiing for some resolution for the 90 days visarun. However that has nothing to do with the 400/800k Extension discussion.

Even with a Thai wife, I was told I needed to have 1.6 million in our joint a/c

 

So I just moved 800K to my own a/c

I'm surprised they looked at a joint account at all. You should have know before that an account in your name only is required. Can't blame the Immi and no, it does not mean you need 1.6m. It's just that you did not do your homework. But some are slow learners, even here ????

I must admit that I am a bit confused by your post as, even if I stayed at some friends’, they would still have to register me (although the 24 hour rule has been relaxed)

In theory they must, practically they wont. If they do, same applies, you have to file a new TM30 when back home.

Wow! TAT says they’ll give expats 500 baht to boost tourism

just was reading this in THE THAIGER, looks like expats are really important to the Thai Tourism Industry if the receive such generous discount... LOL. 500THB... what a joke.

That makes exactly one National Park visit. Well thought out! ????

Why would they change anything with the existing 400/800k requirement. These rules are in place for years and everybody had to follow them. Now make an exeption because a few don't have the funds and still don't want to go home? Ridiculous.

The borders were closed in April, so everybody is here now for at least 5 months or more. That is more than sufficient time to deposit the required collateral. For a first time application of an extension of stay only 2 months in advance are required, subsequently 3 months. So if you did not make it till now, or alternatively don't have a monthly income of 40/65k then you do not qualify.

Suggest you book a flight home early as they are limited and will get more expensive towards end of September. Overstay will not make it any cheaper.

« Please be advised that if you relocate to another province or another part of your province for a short-time period, you are not required to register a TM30 again. 

That is only the case if you travel for yourself and stay with family or friends. Again, if a hotel or guesthouse re-registers you this automatically renders the previous TM30 invalid. You are from then on registered at the hotel, which most certainly will not be the same province and address your immigration requires when you want something from them next time. But you can always quote your text ????
