All foreigners. Think of it as "back to the future" Same as paper TM6.

I guess some folk have done a mock run at the fill in "form" I just did (up to a point) Some minor issues: When it came to nationality I typed AU. Easy except it then auto filed +61 start of phone #. Could not change to Thai #. So put made up Oz cell # For address I put fictitious one and accepted. Asks for entry date, flight details etc. No problem however asks for departure information. (flight out) I'm one way as I live in Thailand. Nightmare on elm st #5 Edit: thread running on this in News forum

Personally find this "registration" a joke. As stated earlier....most entries to Thailand are tourists. Even if a tourist was to enter and provide correct address on the TDAC what next. They move onto next place of short stay. The addresses, phone # etc can (and most likely will be) Fictitious. To make it even more laughable is that for the expats living ongoing in Thailand their addresses, phone # etc already in the system via extension records, TM47 and TM30 records etc.

Keep in mind that most folk entering Thailand are tourists. They can write whatever they want. In my early days with the TM6 card.. For address in Thailand I write... NANA PLAZA Soi 4. Along with fictional phone # When in doubt make it up.

When I finally got the online report to work (after doing one in person...) I posted about the experience and the fact I was in complete shock with online approval. Online reporting for me at CW has rarely been successful. Also previously they took up to couple of weeks or more.

Just a suggestion. When I renewed pp (2024) ...I waited till my 90 day report window opened and did the "stamp transfer" then went to 90 report desk. The subsequent next report I did online with no issue.

How will this work for border bounce. ".....aiming to provide convenience for all foreigners entering Thailand by air, land, or sea"

This topic has been covered often. Now thread off topic. Thread closed.

Click on link in the OP. Watch the short video. Mentions you will have QR code to present immigration. My guess is a watching a slow motion train wreck.

Bit disappointing that all foreigners entering Thailand require this. As stated here..... "All passengers must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card" So those living here in Thailand with extensions of permission of stay and reentry permit still need all this nonsense. On top of TM30, TM47 etc

Welcome to the club.

My Bad. Yes I live in apartment. I don't like to trouble them however have adopted this M.O in recent years. What you outline re condos is correct. My Thai partner owns condos and yes currently has one farang school teacher and does a TM30 for him when asked. He requests it when exits Thailand and returns and when does new contract with school. It's a pain

It's just what I have opted to do. Previously I had never done a TM30. So it's a Me thing. I personally opt to have my condo office provide me one days prior to attending for annual extension. Kitchen sink syndrome.

I just contacted another agent in Pattaya. Me: Any issues currently for 12 month extension. Agent: No problem. You must have BBL a/c. As stated earlier if anyone has concerns contact agent rather than guessing games.

Currently visa exempt is 60 days that can be extended by 30. One plan for 6 month stay is ... Enter Thailand via air with e-Visa (tourist) do one extension. Next border bounce with minivan agent to eg Cambodia. Then obtain an extension. 60+30+60+30 = 6 months. Not rocket science.

This issue was discussed in this thread earlier this year. https://aseannow.com/topic/1351851-visa-services-limited-now/ This thread has one report of an issue with one agent. Previously it was Tik Tok and Mots. As I stated early on. Take chill pill and look for follow up reports. Anyone concerned best advice is to contact agent.

Prior to e-Visa when the visas were obtained in person at the various consulates/embassies some places would issue only certain number. eg No more that 2 from that particular consulate. Apart from that, entry to Thailand via air always has the risk of refusal if pp shows basically continuous stay in Thailand. People can be refused entry with a tourist visa. Unmarried (to Thai) and under 50yr old now have visa options such as DTV. Why keep starting threads that you are aware of the answer/options.

Understand completely. You will have zero issues and peace of mind. Have a good stay in Thailand. Please post report.

Finally a sensible post. That's exactly what folk should do.

Bit off topic but yep I was impressed. Here is link to his experiences in Thailand https://backpackbob.com/

I thought you decided against "safe entry service" In any event yes please update with report. Would be helpful. Guessing cost approx 4500b There are two different meet and greet. Some have agent airside. Some have io meet and greet by io prior to immigration lines

I contacted Maneerat today re BBL. Reply: No issue..
