Where does he stay in-between his visits to the house?

Correct. Slightly off-topic, but the Thai definition of 'lifetime permanent residency' is IMO somewhat misleading, as if you leave the Country, you still require a re-entry permit to keep your 'permanent residency' status valid. Submit annual reports to Immigration and renew every 10 years.

The 90-day report is only required if having permission of stay beyond 90 consecutive days. It's a requirement for those with an annual permit of stay (not a visa) based on Thai spouse, retirement etc. Tourists having to visit an Immigration office for 30/60 day extensions are effectively confirming their address on each visit, therefore a separate 90-day report is not required.

Usually prefixed with the number '6'. It was the issue number I referred to, which is displayed under your photo.

Vientienna require evidence of funding - a bank statement, but don't stipulate the amount of funding. https://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/en/page/non-o-visa-2?menu=63bcd84082cc9c34f4141df3

It's accessible immediately, but you lose interest for early withdrawal of the funds. The agreement is you deposit the funds for an agreed fixed term to receive a more favourable interest rate.

'Term deposit', 'time deposit', same, same, just different banks. A few banks are offering '7 month' introductory offers to entice people in, that's what 'special' about it. Perfectly acceptable by Immigration. Ideal for those who use the funds in the bank method all year round. At the end of each 'term', be it 7,10,12,14,24,36, months, you can either close with the added interest, or 'roll' it over again for another fixed term. At the end of the term, the interest reverts to that of the Savings account, unless you 'roll' it over for another term. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Save-And-Invest/Save/Deposit-Campaign Deposit Terms and Interest Rates 7-Month Fixed Deposit Interest Rate 1.80% p.a. 10-Month Fixed Deposit Interest Rate 1.65% p.a. 14-Month Fixed Deposit Interest Rate 1.65% p.a. 2% for 24 month, and 2.10% for 36-month fixed term deposit accounts.

What you would class as a 'current' account in the UK, is referred to as a 'checking' account in Thailand. This type of account comes with a cheque book and not available to foreigners, hence we use the 'Savings' type accounts. You can cancel your debit card, return it to the bank, that will only save annual fee charges. Should you wish to then withdraw cash, you'd require your passport and passbook to withdraw over the counter.

Exactly what she is trying to do, get the entry stamp date corrected.

It’s “classless and crude" to boast about money and lifestyles publicly. Just simply state you have extra wide door frames fitted at home. 🙄

I've used the Fixed term account for Immigration purposes for the last 11 years. It's the term of the deposit that's fixed, not the funds which are immediately accessible. You just lose interest if you withdraw prematurely. Perfectly acceptable to Immigration.

I'm assuming you have dual nationality and your British passport is due to expire ?

Very tired of your disparaging and aloof comments towards members as well. Yep, she stated she'd check with the owners in the morning if they'd filed a TM30, or if not, if they would. She as yet hasn't replied as to that objective. They can, as already pointed out, but not without extra inconvenience and expense for two.

The second number ends 0000000401 ? In that case, they should have been very experienced with the procedure. It's no different and exactly the same as printing a new Blue book for Thais. And/or poorly trained.

It is, why? Because Immigration make exceptions for tourists, or you can't be bothered reading the posts. My guess is Samui will change the date, given a TM30 has been filed. She entered with an SETV, but the IO only gave her a 30-day stamp, which disrupts their plans and can cause further unforeseen expenses.

That sounds as though they were inexperienced with the process, hence the initial resistance and the time taken. We visited the Amphoe with no appointment. Templates on the computer, no different from printing a Blue house book. Address details then personal details, book in the printer, flip the page and print again, took no more than 20 minutes, then down the other end of the room, photo, thumbprint, and ID card printed, another 10 minutes. Underneath the photo on your pink ID card, you'll have two numbers The first number identifies the Province and the Amphoe. The second number identifies the issue number, for example mine is 0000000004, meaning I was the 4th foreigner to be issued a pink ID card from that Amphoe. That was 11 years ago, when the bureaucratic process was much easier than now.

That is an opinion. What part of the Immigration Act do you fail to understand.

It is not solely the landlord/owner's responsibility to file a TM30, for a private residential property, which is why foreigners are sometimes fined by Immigration. The online TM30 registration site permits 'foreigners' to register and file a TM30 for a reason. Hotels and guest houses are clearly responsible for filing, not the foreigner. For private residential properties it's not entirely down to the owner/landlord or wife to file, the Act makes it clear 'if you reside there in any capacity whatsoever' you are also liable to file a Tm30.

Why not simply state it as you did, without a hyphen in between. It's still factually incorrect. All Thais must be registered in a Blue house book, but they don't necessarily reside there. The registration of all Thais in a Blue book serve as an ongoing 'population census' for the government.

Be nice if @miaclarkson03 gave us an update.

No idea what you mean by 'English household registration book'. There are Blue and Yellow house books, both with entries written in Thai.

The issue of a Yellow book is nothing to do with Immigration. An Amphoe will only issue a yellow book if you have long term residency, such as a one-year extension of temporary stay. Hotels and guest houses are not considered 'permanent' places of residence, and yellow books wouldn't be issued for such addresses.

The point being, the OP doesn't want a 30-day extension at this point. They have planned a stay of 150 days, and a 30-day extension at this point would mean extra costs.

A few years ago a friend was being given the run around by his district Amphoe, with ridiculous requests and each time he complied, they found another requirement. Eventually I took him to the Provincial Amphoe to make a complaint. The senior officer of the Provincial Amphoe stated he couldn't overrule this particular officer as he had the same level of seniority as himself. An option was to formally complain to the 'Ombudsman' who has the authority to overrule such judgements, but that could take time. He suggested that I add him to my yellow book as if he was living with me, then after 3 months return for a letter from the Provincial Amphoe to take to his district amphoe as a change of address. Already being in a yellow book, his district office would merely be issuing a new yellow book as a change of address. That's exactly what we did and 3 months later he obtained a new yellow book from his district Amphoe detailing his new address (which was actually where he always resided). There always appears to be more than one way to skin a cat in Thailand.
