Yes. It's ridiculous. We don't have Monty python anymore however Thai immigration. Personally I don't do the TM30 after return from abroad. I do one just prior to annual extensions (CW) and so far has not resulted in fine.

Best way to check requirements is to start an application... https://thaievisa.go.th/

Off topic post and reply removed

The guy you quoted was referring to reporting in person. That can be done up to 7 days after due date without fine. BTW the 2000k fine does not accumulate. It's 2k if you miss a few

That statement should read "Airlines will ask for the details....." They will check the e-Visa print out carefully. Also immigration when you arrive. Make sure you present the e-Visa along with boarding pass to immigration

For anyone interested as to advice re onward tickets etc may find this guy's blog a good read. https://backpackbob.com/thailand-return-ticket/

When have you read/heard of onward flight demanded by airline from anyone with a visa or reentry permit.

Airline will not require proof of onward flight traveling with a visa. Obviously have print out of your e-Visa Non O

You should have know that as it's common knowledge. To be fair at one point some advice was 15 days prior up to due date. As for the rest of your post ....Yes you apply as soon as your window opens is best policy. So that means at the 75 day mark. The report starts clock for next report. You would end up doing one extra report doing it online vs in person per year. If you do report via mail you can also do it at the 75 day mark however immigration with give you a due date for next report 90 days from previous due date. Not from when you mail it. As for your extension.... people moan about that for what. Best to provide what immigration demand.

Most reports indicate that the online application after travel abroad will be rejected. As I understand it they wanted to sync TM30 with online reporting. Obviously you could try and do it online.

I'm aware that some immigration offices do the 90 report when you attend immigration for annual extension. Almost as a service. Places such as CW actually have 90 report desks. Separate from extensions. My most recent extension was Nov 5 and my report window was open. After doing the extension (with appointment) I then went to report section where I also had made an appointment to do my 90 report in person.

90 day reporting is not related to extension. The OP is dealing with CW. The clock for report will be (due date) will be on previous receipt. Of course if someone exits Thailand and reenters that resets count.

The guy you quoted was referring to online reporting. Up to 7 days after is grace period of reporting in person

I would have thought that was obvious advice especially given unique question from OP. Unfortunately the only contribution from OP @Visa-question has been to start thread.

No. What is pp country.

Your last border run would have given you a visa exempt stamp. 60 days. It's NOT a Visa. You will have zero issues obtaining a 30 day extension at local immigration office. With 2.5yrs in Thailand surprised with your question.

The changes that were made in June 2020 of no TM30 required after travel abroad if returning to your same residence went out the window in recent times.

There will not be exit stamp through e gates. Zero consequence.

The TM47 is the actual 90 day report notification form. That's 100% needed. The TM30 reports your address. Currently you do a new one after travel abroad upon reentry. I last did a 90 day report in person at CW and did not provide a TM30. If you do the report online best to do it 15 days early. Have you previously done reports online? The magnifying glass symbol can autofill after you enter pp # Here is link for online reporting https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login Here is link to download form. https://www.doe.go.th/prd/download/download_by_pool_file/112248

Not Khon Kaen however here is form some offices use and at bottom of form lists required docs. Note that some offices eg CW are now requiring bank book + photocopies of pages back till current extension issue + update. Meaning checking for financial compliance. https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=995063&key=4ad28e64c063398b61d0a726240743c6

Here is immigration link outlining required docs etc .... https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=1648 In reality some/many offices would just require passport and filled in TM47. I generally take along the kitchen sink that includes either previous TM47 receipt or lease. You mention blue book? Staying with wife? I listed all possible required docs for CW in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1297166-90-day-report/

Funds can be in your UK bank.

Not sure what you are referring to. If doing 90 report online then TM47 is not required. Nor is TM30. In person just TM47 required + they may require something to show address. Most would just provide previous receipt of report. Alternatively a TM30 or lease should be enough. Via mail just the TM47. No TM30 required.

Where are you located. So you attended VFS in person?
