After reading about 18 dozen webpages, I am surprisingly confused about the proper Thai immigration procedure for changing one's address. I'm sure I'm the first.

I'm moving from one place to another in Chiang Mai city. The majority of websites suggest I need:

TM28

TM30

Passport photocopies

Lease photocopies

However other people say the TM28 is no longer needed, others say you do it all online, etc.

Anyone had recent experience?

I do have a question about the 2/3 month seasoning before and the 3 month after on 800000 baht for a retirement extension. Is the date this measured on the date you apply/receive the extension or is it the start/end date of the extension?

Im landing in BKK on the 1-12-25, I want to stay a minimum of 90 days in TH, I’m 71 y/o I’ll have travel/health insurance,. I’ve got 3 options,1- enter visa exempt and extend it by 30 days to give me 90 days,.2-enter with a TR visa from uk giving me the same options,.3-entering with an o retirement visa giving me 90 days, what would you recommend ?. My last visit to TH was for 222 days in 2022/2023, came in on a TR visa from uk and extended and border bounced, I’m concerned this could be an issue if I arrive on 1-12-25 and imo pick up on it.

Hi. I'm from Poland and want to apply through the embassy in Warsaw. I have a question: can I use a bank statement confirming my 500,000 TBH account balance instead of a statement? I have the money in term deposits, and they don't appear on my statement.

Regarding the travel info on the dtv app. Do you put 175-180 days out for departure?

What’s up in Pattaya? At night market by central mall and almost every stall is indian run! Most of Pattaya is like that now! How can they all work, guarentee all don’t have work permits!

My steps for immigration to HuaHin

Everything is slowly falling into place. I plan to book a hotel for the first few weeks and then look for a suitable condo. Last time, I stayed at Kian Haad, near Market Village. I think there are better options. So any hotel advice would be welcome.

However, I still have a few questions.

*Is this address acceptable for returning the embassy affidavit?

*Is a hotel's TM30 sufficient for applying for a bank account and renewing my Non-O?

Thanks for your advice.

Just a quick one. The people who had their bank accounts frozen, did you all use an agent to open it or have any of you opened an account without the agent & still been frozen
