If you want a quick n dirty check of the form they want you to sign, use the Translate app on your phone, it can use the camera to read the document. (Well on Android phones anyway)

The extesion starts on the day it was due to expire, not the day you receive the extension. ..

My last trip was Visa Exempt, with a 30 day extension . The extension was done at Ratchaburi Immigration, there was no mention of departing flight, and there is no where on the form (TM7) to list it. I had a previous TM30 done in January, so it wasnt needed this time just a copy of the TM30 receipt. 1900 Baht and done

I'm thinking you need a cement mix, not concrete. Concrete has a gravel aggregate mixed into cement to add structural strength. as you are only wanting to patch a crack , you need some thing that is more flexible.. Cement mix is a sand and motar mix. To make the mix a little more workable when applying, squirt a little dish washing liquid into the mix.. Its more like a thin putty then.

The TM6 is no longer handed out by Airlines, for you to fill out before arrival. This means, that you dont have one to hand to immigration, so they dont have the departure part to staple into your passport.

I recently created my own TM7 fillable document. It was filled in in bold black characters and signed with a black pen.. This was at Ratchaburi Immigration.. Make sure you print on one side only, they dont want double sided prints.. As usual, different offices have different requirements.. P.S. I printed the photos directly on the page, and that was OK..

Its not just KL, its the same requirement in Australia. I contacted the Embassy in Canberra about the same thing. My Wife and I own our own home here, but that doesnt meet the requirement. In the end we got a 60 day visa (only needed proof of place to stay) and did an extension of 30 days..

You didnt mention which extension.. My 30 day extension required no bank statements, and there is no mention of same on the form..

The need for a TM30 can depend on the Immigration Office. I recently came back to Thailand on Visa Exempt, and after 25 days or so went to Ratchaburi Immigration for a 30day exemption, For that I presented the receipt for the TM 30 for my arrival in November.. I was told when doing that TM30, that next time I came back to Thailand that a new TM30 would not be needed as my address was linked to the Wifes Tabien Bahn.. The TM30 for my Nov arrival was submitted towards the end of december, Immigration wasnt concerned about it being "Late"

Ratchaburi Immigration told me that when I return to Thailand next time, no need for TM30 as address is already registered..

There are times in Thailand, where the Soi Dog adopts you.. One day you come home and find a dog in your yard and it just stays and that becomes its territory. In return, the owner of the house may put out left over food scraps that would otherwise be dumped in the drain across the road. Thats just the way they are. Dogs all over the world know when a person is either un afraid , or likes dogs . Those people are rarely bothered by the Soi dogs, they will go for those who are scared, because they pick up on the fear and that unsettles the dog..

When I did my TM30 in Ratchaburi, it was submitted 6 weeks after landing at Swampy, along with a 30 day extension. No fee for the TM30, just 1900 for the extension.

I recently did a TM30 at the Ratchaburi Immigration office. I first went there to find out when to come in to do an extension after a 60day visa, they handed me the paper work for the extension and TM30, and said submit the TM30 when I came back for the extension. On coming back received the extension and the receipt for the TM30, where they said TM30 is on file now, no need to do again when you come to Thailand next time, We know where you live (P.S. This is in the house that Wife and I own) .. So TM30 requirements, seem to change with the area you live in..

I filled in this form recently and submitted to Ratchaburi immigration. It was 2 sheets of A4,no mention was made of a need to be on one page.

It seems to depend on the Immigration Office.. At the Ratchaburi office, I was told that we have your addres now, next time you come back to Thailand no need to do again. just keep the receipt.. Guess if I have a new passport, a new TM30 would be needed.

14 Days before expiry. I have just done it. Fill in the form TM7 (attach recent photo) have copies of passport ID page, current visa, copy of boarding pass. Also needed is the receipt for the TM30 registration. Go to your local immigration early to ( as in well before the visa expiry) to make sure of the local requirements.. Ratchaburi Immigration was very helpfull for me.. OH, you need 1900 Baht as well..

I have one of these, currently with a SIM card that is good for 12 Months. Works very well with excellent wifi coverage as well.. ASUS 4G-AC68U 802.11ac Dual-Band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit 3G/4G Modem Router

there is an app for Android, called GPS test it can show you current altitude ( according to the satellites _) above sea level. Dont be surprised if it shows a minus value, as a lot of coastal areas a pretty low. Looking at google earth will give you a really good idea , in fact if you go to street view of your location it will give you a rough indication of altitude at eye level.. For my place its 5 meters. If you are worried about data tracking, you can uninstall the app when done with it.
