The hotel will give you a screenshot of the TM30 however you need to ask them for it. When checking in at hotel make sure to confirm that they do make TM30 reports. If they do not then find another hotel. The TM7 form is the actual form for the extension. It requires a photo. Cost 1900 baht for extension.

Whoops wrong song.

Get over it. Luggage carts? Try Melbourne airport. They don't even have them after security.

I'm Oz (western passport) I require a visa for Cambodia, Laos , Vietnam.......just few examples. Currently Vietnam has taken 3 month multi entry off the table. All I can get now is a 30 day single entry Visa. Cannot do border bounce etc. Unlike the many that do that in Thailand.

THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD. Sums up war.

CM never ceases to amaze.

This thread mentions several options. Maneerat comes highly recommend.

I was not referring to "eventually" but rather the planned trip that you are posting about.

Why don't neighbouring countries such as Laos, Cambodia , Vietnam etc have 45 day visa exempt entries with all the attached border run options. Thailand has many sweet options such as 30 day visa exempt entry with the option of 30 day extension

Then you (imo) will receive 30 day visa exempt stamp. You could consider a tourist visa entry 60 days How long do you plan to stay in Thailand?

Applying for non O retirement using money in the bank requires 800k on day of application. If using income method without income letter from embassy you would need to show 12 month of 65k transfers

Personally can't see reason to extend the 45 day, temporary visa exempt entry. Enter on or prior march 31 and you will be stamped in for 45 days. Sweet deal.

Your application for 30 day extension will NOT be rejected. You do not need to worry about that. Even it was rejected (won't happen) then you could do a border bounce and obtain visa exempt entry. Be aware that since you plan to obtain extension in Bangkok and entered visa exempt, you will attend Laksi IT Mall and not CW.

You can use any account or even two accounts to meet the financials. The requirements are 800k pre and post day of application and minimum 400k at other times. Depending on your immigration office you may require 12 month bank statements or for some offices copies of your bank book pages is sufficient. You need to obtain bank letter (100baht). Best obtained on day of application. Some offices want to see "activity" on day of application. Small deposit/withdrawal is good idea.

Of your list the only thing that requires a "in person" trip to immigration is annual extension. 90 day report can be done online (2 minutes or less autofill) Via mail slightly longer. Both online and mail can be lodged from anywhere in Thailand.

Still don't follow So you enter visa exempt 45 days. Subsequently obtain a 30 day extension. The flight out will not be required to obtain the extension. The extension has nothing to do with flight out of Thailand. An onward flight may be required by airline at departure when you fly to Thailand. So again , why do you want the 30 day extension done straight away. Some want to do that if staying somewhere remote. Eg Obtain in Bangkok then travel to an island

No the report will be due 90 days from your reentry. That report may need to be done in person or via mail as it will be your first report. Do not think it can be done online. UJ will advise.

It would be up to the immigration office. Is there a reason to obtain it so early. Example travel plans etc

Which immigration office? Why did you leave it so late. You can report online 15 prior to due date. I would be heading to immigration. The fine is 2000baht for late reporting

Stated with such pride of achievement. All somewhat irrelevant. Many live not close to an immigration office. CW for example would be a half day + exercise.

https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login There is a pinned topic in this forum. Covers various questions such as change of password etc.

You can depart on the "until date"

No. Your history is available to the io.

Lucky you. Guessing trip to immigration not easy? Still you have the mail and online option.

If you enter with a visa or reentry permit you would not have an issue. For visa exempt entry in the main also no issue, however if your history indicates that you have spent lot of time in Thailand recently then you can be questioned and even possibly refused entry. Think you mentioned couple of years in Thailand and now wanting to return after a month out on visa exempt entry. BTW new passport doesn't help. Your history is on io screen.
