well, because chiang mai immigration wants an update of tm30 even if you go to stay in a hotel for just 1 night but then you return to the same address ( my friend's house in this case)

in the worst case scenario can he just visit the immigration office to re-update the current tm30 just showing the lease agreement, copy and tabien baan of the owner's house?

I am asking for a friend of mine. So, he is on under consideration and he has to visit the local immigration again around the end of march to get the final stamp. He is staying in a house and he has a 1 year lease agreement and he has the tm30 already registered to the immigration system, but he likes to go to hotels for 1 night sometimes. It's not a problem? Can he do that without having to risk issues to get the final stamp after the under consideration period? He just wants to avoid that hotels might update his tm30, he wants to keep the current tm30 that he registered with the lease agreement of the house he is staying right now

Well, I only bring my new passport and after a few weeks they even let me increase the daily transaction limit to 2 million THB, probably because I have Thai bank account since almost 9 years. No stress at all

why bring also the old passport? The banks already have the old passport number in their system. I just bring my new passport with the new visa stamp and the bank book. It took them 5 minutes

That's great thanks!

Does thai immigration still give free visa exemption 60 days?

I've entered Thailand only 2 times on 2025. The first time with a tourist e-visa and the second time with a border run 60 days exemption stamp. I don't think I've a long history of staying. There are people that are even doing more than 3 border bounce. Me only one on 2025. I don't see what's the reason to have issues to return to Thailand with another tourist e-visa after I've been out of the country since 2/3 months

However, I have never had a problem when I entered Thailand with a tourist e-visa. And I've never been asked to show 20000 bath cash. I think there is no need to use the safe entry if you are coming back to Thailand with a tourist visa granted from the embassy

Yes, I'm also considering the 6 month METV It's recommended to use the safe entry service if you come back with a tourist e-visa? Does it make sense or not really? Just to avoid possible issues

With these endless new rules, if you come back to Thailand by air with a tourist e-visa, should you be able to do 2 land border crossing in a calendar year to get 60 days exemption stamps?🤔 - it's recommended to bring 20k bath cash at this time if you are coming with a tourist e-visa or is still rarely ask if you come with a visa?

Like this I'm losing the feeling to come to Thailand again. It's too stressful everywhere! It's only about money now, I don't like it anymore

I left Thailand one month ago and I'm planning to come back around January 2026. I wanted to apply for another tourist e-visa online but they ask for a bank statement for at least 3 months and I just don't want to wait all this time as I didn't think to leave some money inside my Thai bank account before. So I will probably just fly to Thailand without a visa and get a 60 days exemption stamp at the airport. To avoid the risk of being denied, it would be safer if I use a safe entry service before landing? Should my plan work? I have had one tourist visa on 2025 +30 days extension and one border run with 60 days exemption stamp + 30 days extension

by air. Should it be fine if i show a ticket out of thailand within 60 days, 20,000 thb cash and hotel address details? I want to apply for an ED visa or DTV after 60 days exemption + 30 days extension. That's my plan

2026 everything will be reset and no need to apply for a tourist e-visa, that's great haha. I'm waiting for the countdown then
