Well the last time I switched US passports I was asked for the old one at Thai immigration. The OP is living in Thailand on annual extensions from Non O. After he attends immigration for transfer of visa information and any relevant stamps ...eg a reentry permit then for future travel he does not need to travel with both passports.

It's common to date the termination letter to date in future for reason you outline.

Why

Good. BTW: most likely not required at KK however have bank book with you. At CW recently they wanting to check financial compliance when doing stamp transfer. Yes I know just made up rubbish, however forewarned

Personally I would collect cancelled pp if possible.

Here is link to form some immigration offices use. CW being one example . Here is link. At bottom of form you will find list of docs to provide. There is no charge for transfer of visa info and any Stamps. Remember to update new pp # with your bank https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=995063&key=4ad28e64c063398b61d0a726240743c6 Here is very old thread specific to KK. One person mentioned service fee. https://aseannow.com/topic/1057309-new-passport/ Here is more recent thread. Not KK specific however mentions few recent changes such as no embassy letter etc https://aseannow.com/topic/1318879-new-passport-…having-information-transferred/

Your example is very different to the OP. He is not living in the condo. He is asking about a tenant having a guest stay few nights. "What if the tenant decides to accommodate a foreigner friend for a few nights ?"

Explained somewhat in this thread by ubonjoe. If the husband (you) has a Non O retirement. (which is not the case)

Keep an eye on what the OP is asking. First up currently there is no TM6. Also not interested in future "cross check" From the OP....."What if the tenant decides to accommodate a foreigner friend for a few nights ?" Answer: do nothing. Or if OP wants to do a TM30 then go for it. Up to him.

Hopefully someone who has used agent for DTV in Cambodia will post. Prior to Laos going to e-Visa I enquired about "complete package" to Savannakhet with agent. That was the whole 9 yards accom etc etc however approx 100k

The Google search is positive. Where would you be applying for the DTV. Soft option category?

It's still job done. As yet no confirmation on change of visa exempt from 60 back to 30. Even if a night or two required in Laos surely that's not a deal breaker. Where would you be located in Thailand. A bounce to Cambodia with agent minivan run most likely same day bounce. Alternatively obtain a Non O retirement since you have the 800k in bank. Non O-A don't even think a out it. Yes a SETV would work.. Passport country? The Non O e-Visa is sweet in that it would be bullet proof. 90 stamp on arrival. No visit immigration for extension and the border bounce to complete the 5 month plan.

Provide an address to who. TM6 was ended couple of years ago. OP is asking if a TM30 is required after trip abroad returning to ongoing address. Unfortunately it can be inconsistent even at same immigration office. Best off to do a TM30 upon return.

@mankindmatt5 excellent report and of great assistance to others. So to be clear your spose obtained a Non O as your dependent. You mentioned needs to be obtained outside of Thailand. Some folk are incorrect in thinking this can be obtained from visa exempt or tourist visa entry.

Just to be clear.... The link to form I posted is for transfer of information from old pp to new pp. At bottom of the form there is a list of docs required. No on that list is photocopies of bank book pages back to last extension. This is a New requirement at CW. The io also made me go down to level 1 to update bank book. I did that by making a deposit. This is not to be confused with "bank letter". That letter provided by bank (100b) is required for annual extension. It was not required for the transfer of stamps.

Seems as though you actually believe that.

I don't follow your thread. How many times previously has "...immigration officer comes knocking at the door.... " By way of example... My partner has few rentals. One eg is a farang teacher. He has various family members on holiday stay with him. Same tenant recently had his gf staying there. She needed a TM30 regarding immigration so my partner did one. In the other example of friends visiting him as tourists and had no need to attend immigration to obtain example an extension, my partner (the owner) did nothing. If you are so concerned then do a TM30 for the tenants guest.

Topic covered extensively in this current thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1356064-thailand-digital-arrival-card-tdac-system-is-online-but-not-announced-as-starting-yet/ Thread closed.

CW uses a form to fill in for transfer. Bottom of form lists required docs. Of course bank book photocopies was not on the list. When I protested (calmly) to senior io rear of L34 she sent me gonna to lower level to do update. My bankbook was not sufficient. For anyone interested in form some offices use for transfer. Here is link https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=995063&key=4ad28e64c063398b61d0a726240743c6

Small Piece of duct tape. Stick and forget.

The fact is there are alternatives now with eg the DTV. New passport does not erase record of history in Thailand. Seems like back to back bounce Mukdahan.

OP, what are you actually asking. Is this some hypothetical question. The only reason someone needs to have a TM30 is if they plan to attend immigration for some reason. Example obtain an extension. "What if the tenant decides to accommodate a foreigner friend for a few nights ?" Ans: do nothing.

Have you been doing border runs previously. In particular this same crossing? Haven't read any very recent reports re Mukdahan. Perhaps it's matter of hope for best plan for worst. 1-2 nights in Laos.

@Nayet you have good advice earlier. Thread moved off topic. Thread closed

Sorta guessed as much. In any event...the OP has been given simple instructions to proceed Namely go to immigration office when suits to do visa info and stamp transfer. Just general information for any Oz folk wishing to renew pp while in Thailand the online/mail process works a treat. You don't even send your current pp with application. 20 day turn around for me in 2024.
