  1. Just my two cents, but I believe you'll find you need to file this next report in person, in order to reset the online 90-day clock. The entry system and 90 day reporting aren't linked, so the fact the 90-day system was expecting you to submit a report on 23rd Nov but didn't, it will reject the next online report. It's not aware you left and re-entered the Country and needs to be manually reset by your Immigration office.
  2. Incorrect. The validity of a visa for the UK is also the same as the period of stay.
  3. Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension skills. He isn't travelling, his daughter is visiting him.
  4. They want a copy of your last entry stamp. That's the date and port of arrival you should put on your TM7.
  5. Applying for the Non O-A visa from a Thai Embassy is based purely on 'retirement' The Non O in contrast can be applied for on the basis of retirement, Thai spouse, voluntary work etc. If you're extending your permission of stay at an Immigration office based from an O-A, retirement, then the Insurance is still applicable. If you're extending your stay based on Thai spouse, it's not a requirement. Why is because if applying based on retirement, the assumption is you're single and should you require medical care, then you need a carer, privately or hospital care. Applying based on Thai spouse if you require medical care, your wife will care for you.
  6. I stated 'temporary' staying at a different address, meaning if returning to your registered address there is now no requirement to file a further TM30. The requirements changed in Dec 2020. TM30 Reporting Regulation.pdf
  7. False, it's a myth it's a Thais responsibility. It's just as much the foreign tourists' responsibility to file a TM30 if staying at a private residence. Hence, Immigration will often fine the foreigner.
  8. You miss the whole purpose of an alien's address being registered with Immigration. You're required to notify your place of residence when visiting most other Countries. The tsunami which impacted communities around the Indian Ocean rim on the morning of 26th December 2004 wreaked particular havoc with the tourism industry in Phuket and southern Thailand. This became global news, with families of relatives staying in Thailand advised to contact their Embassies. The Embassies are then able to track foreigners, using the details held by Thai Immigration to contact them, ensuring they are safe and reporting back to families overseas. If they haven't registered their address or contact details with Immigration, in the event of an emergency they may not be immediately traceable, which would be distressing for worried families back home.
  9. Whilst you advise ignoring the law, with your personal opinions. Here's some research for you, Jack. Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979) ENG.pdf TM30 Reporting Regulation.pdf
  10. Then they are in violation of section 38 of the Immigration Act and subject to a fine if caught. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. You've misunderstood Joe's statements. Correct, assuming a TM30 was initially filed, there is now no requirement to refile if staying temporary at other locations. What he clearly meant was if staying in a different Province to where a TM30 was previously filed, you must file a new TM30 to formally change your address before applying for an extension, for example. You can't change an address, if you never had one in the first instance.
  11. I didn't miss any part of your post, you jump to conclusion and make assumptions too fast. A TM30 should be filed regardless of whether it's his intention or not to visit Immigration - that's the Immigration law, need I quote it?
  12. He may have stayed at a hotel on arrival, or intend applying for a 30-day extension. Is that what the law states?
  13. According to Immigration Bureau orders, 327-2557 (2014) - Criteria for extension ENG.pdf 35-2561 (2019 (changed clause 2.22 of 327-2557 ENG.pdf Amend 138-2557 (2014 ) clause 2.18-2.22 for Thai bank income ENG.pdf 548-2562 (2019) change clause 2.22 327-2557 O-A Ins ENG-THAi.pdf section 2.22 (retirement), all stipulate the criteria using the monthly income method as 'Must have an evidence of having monthly income of no less than 65,000 baht' Order 138-2557 (2014) Docs for extensions - ENG.pdf section 2.22, documents for extension states 'Evidence of income such as a retirement pension, interest or dividends'. If they request proof of pension, I'd state your income is from 'interest' on your property investments. If you have a problem with the IO request to see the senior IO to discuss your case. Additionally, you're leaving it rather late to submit your extension application. I assume you have the 3M mandatory Health Insurance in place for the extension from a Non O-A.
  14. Depends on which IO issued your extension stamp and what address was used, unless of course you filed a new TM30 with the IO in your Province.
  15. If the OP is returning to his existing reported address, there is no requirement to file a new TM30.
  16. I was informed by my IO a few weeks ago, that orders from above dictated that applications for a change of status VE/TV to Non O are now subject to a home visit, regardless of whether based on Thai spouse or retirement. I know of 2 (retirement) who had such visits in the last month, before the Non O application could be approved. Reports elsewhere as well.
  17. As an Irish national, you'll be entering Visa exempt (without a visa), not a VOA. You'll be granted permission of stay for 45 days, each entry prior to March 31st - 30 days thereafter.
  18. 15 days prior to the due date, is NOT the same as within 15 days of the due date (as specified) Within 15 days includes the due date, so it's 14 days prior to the due date. The OP applied within the window, the 8th being the first day he could submit online, if his report was due 22nd.
  19. Looks like she was denied entry for too many visa exempt entries within a period of time. I'm sure Immigration would have advised her to get the 'correct' visa for the purpose of her stay, meaning a 'Tourist Visa'. If she intends visiting friends in Malaysia or elsewhere, then she should purchase a re-entry permit, which will cover her duration of stay granted by the TV.
  20. You basically request the bank to allow her access via a PoT. (Not a joint account). The bank completes the PoT, you both sign. I answered early, in your case, you're not officially married, therefore in the event of your demise, your partner would still require a Court Order to release the funds. Simply draft a Will making your intention clear that you wish to leave your assets to your partner, which will aid her obtaining a Court Order.
  21. Not according to the Embassy. You need to supply an Insurance policy covering $100,000 for the Non O application. It doesn't have to be a TGIA policy, any travel policy will suffice.
