Think you have indeed opened the wrong screen. Try these instructions: https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/Foreigner/TM30TH/Notify-Residence.html

Exactly correct. From the application search page itself: "แสดงข้อมูลวันที่เข้าพักย้อนหลัง 7 วันเท่านั้น / Data are shown within only 7 days of Check-in Date". From https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/Foreigner/TM30TH/FAQ.html Question: Found a problem, unable to search for information on notification of residence of foreigners dating back more than 7 days. Answer. According to the policy of the Immigration Bureau, the use of the system can search for accommodation notification information dating back no more than 7 days. If conditions are specified for notification of accommodation going back more than 7 days, it cannot be searched.

The newest update worked for me. Confirmed address was correct and had approved. Added Gender to information about the owner. Added an address registration report for myself as staying at my condo. Printed out a screenshot of the successful (informed status) address report, and stapled it into my passport.

If you would read the attached pdf you would see you are incorrect on both assumptions.

Not sure why this good answer seemingly goes unnoticed.

Yes

It is withheld, meaning it is withdrawn from your account. Having a valid Thai Tax ID registered with the account allows this withdrawal of tax on interest earned to be waived, meaning it is not withdrawn from your account. You may or may not be liable to report your interest earned in your Thai Income Tax return (depending on whether thresholds are exceeded), but it does not get automatically withdrawn from your account. This is the case for regular interest-bearing savings accounts. It is automatically withheld on fixed deposit accounts regardless of whether you have registered your Thai Tax ID with the account and cannot be waived.

May not be required but if provided one benefit is that you can be exempt from mandatory 15% tax withholding and the need to file a Thai Income Tax Return to reclaim it.

I think you will find that backdating by 24 hours will be sufficient to avoid the fine, and to allow you to file a 90 day report. In future, you should make a screen shot printout of the TM-30 that you filed with the new system showing that it has been accepted and staple that paper in your passport.

Don't put any search criteria except for Date of Stay (from current date until end of this month). Make sure you have check-marked your address (even if it is the only address showing it must be checked). Should return all registrations including the one you did your yourself after you click on the Search button.

One fills out "The address to receive foreigners to stay" from your profile page (click person icon in the upper-right of the page). Then click the Profile link. Then click the Add button to the right of the "The address to receive foreigners to stay" on the middle-right side of the page. Press the Save button in the lower-right of the page. Then you go back (using the browser back button) and you will see your property listed as one of the Address(es). Click the box for your property's address.

I do recommend creating an account at Thailand PostMart. It was easy to do, no issues. I didn't actually purchase anything at the site so can't confirm what payment options are available, although I suspect the usual ones: credit/debit card, bank account debit, etc. Regarding pay.gov. You actually don't need to create an account to just pay for your US passport. See Should I Create a Pay.gov Account? at https://www.pay.gov/WebHelp/HTML/create_account.html But, if you decide you want an account, see Create Your Own Account. There are two methods. I recommend the first, and don't recommend the second (id.me). I was never able to create an id.me account. The first method worked for me, don't recall any issues.

Yes, that is the way it worked back then, but that is no longer accepted and the new procedure is as explained here (see Step 8): https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/instructions-for-ds-82-processing-by-mail-and-online-fee-payment-for-u-s-citizens-residing-in-thailand/

อังกฤษ is the usual Thai word for English, though sometimes it will have ภาษา (language in English) prefixed to emphasize that it is a language, so ภาษาอังกฤษ Recommend using a computer and the Google Chrome Browser (which will do automatic Thai to English translation), rather than a phone or another browser. If you only have a phone you might try taking a screen shot and then using Google Translate on the screen shot.

If after doing the above there are still parts of the page that are in Thai, you can try moving your cursor over those areas, then right-click and select "Translate to English." You can also use the Google Lens app on your smart phone (using the phone's camera) to translate the contents of the computer screen from Thai to English.

I believe you can also obtain the required "Courier Pass Back envelope" https://www.thailandpostmart.com/product/1013460000929/ from a Thai post office in person if you don't use the online site. I haven't done that myself, but I understood that a friend has after he had problems negotiating the online site. If you would like to use the online site, suggest you view the site (linked above) from the Google Chrome browser (which can translate the page contents from Thai into English).

Standard operating procedure at Phuket Immigration for the last several years. Always get a new 90-Day Report stapled in when doing the annual retirement extension. Always need to come back the next day to pick up passport with retirement extension and 90-Day Report. On this last thing, I speculate that the senior officer who signs off on the extensions only wants to do it once per day. Initially, I didn't like this procedure as I don't like to have my passport out of my possession for any reason. However, after reflection, I've decided that it does minimize time spent at the immigration office as one is not left waiting for someone to sign off on your application. Also, as I routinely get a re-entry permit after getting a new extension I don't necessarily mind going to the immigration office the next day to pick up the passport as I use that visit to also get a new re-entry permit.

It appears that payment of the cost of the passport itself is no longer allowed by bank draft, but only online using the US government's secure site (you may be able to use your Bangkok Bank debit card to do this). You do still need to use the bank draft to pay for the return envelope and postage. https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/instructions-for-ds-82-processing-by-mail-and-online-fee-payment-for-u-s-citizens-residing-in-thailand/

Your preference is allowed and detailed directions are given as to how to obtain the required bank draft from Bangkok Bank, including a printout in Thai that explains to the cashier exactly what you need. You need to pay with your application. Online payment is also accepted. You will need two (2) bank drafts from Bangkok Bank, one for the cost of the passport itself and one for the cost of the the return envelope and postage. Again, very detailed directions are given at the US Embassy Bangkok site (unfortunately, down at this instant):| https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/

Can you send the TM-30 information to me as well?

It's not. It's never easier. You must use the passport of the country you are in to enter that country, if you have such a passport. A planned three week trip can easily need to be longer in which case the Thai will need to deal with Thai Immigration. Why would you willing subject yourself to the possibility of dealing with Thai immigration if you could avoid all that by using your (even expired) Thai passport?

General advice: Mondays and Fridays are best avoided; better to go in the middle of the week.
