TM30. You have to do it if you will need any services from Thai Immigration or you are entering a renting agreement, then the landlord have to file TM30 for you, you do nothing.

Say, your cousin or friend come to visit you in Thailand, in a condo/house you already rent or own, no action, no TM30 for them.

I was just told by a long term Thai resident (an American), after an uporoar from the tourism industry, Thais scrapped the hotel obligations to fill in your TM30, 2 years ago.

Indeed, 40 million tourists a year, many stay in hotels for a night or two, change and travel further, what Thai workforce is needed to punch in all those TM30s.

Hey Guys so being here on a DTV as a Remote Worker for an American LLC, staying for over 180 days, do I need a Thai Tax number?

Really considering moving here with my Filipina wife and son. Schools seem to be the only obstacle (and maybe the acceptance of Tricare for health insurance)

Has anybody here put their children into an ABS school? If so, what are the pros and cons (and cost)? Also, any info on Tricare would be extremely helpful as well.

Thanks in advance! PS, looking at the Chiang Mai area

Hi there. I need to complete the DTAC thing before I arrive on Wed. Could someone please provide the correct genuine link as I see many different ones online. Thanks

So Bkk bank are not issuing letter for the 65K route as well now my agent tells me 🤯

Should I go to the embassy where I applied for the DTV visa even though it doesn't have the location?

It doesn't say where, but should I go to the embassy where I applied for my DTV visa?

場所が書いてないけど、DTVビザを申請した大使館に行けばよいのでしょうか?

My experience using a Thai visa issued in Jakarta

I applied for my Thai visa while in Bali, through the Thai Embassy in Jakarta. The process there was a bit slow — they asked for extra documents before approving it, but once I submitted everything, it went through fine.

About a month later, when I arrived in Phuket earlier today,, immigration took me aside to a holding area. They said they didn’t have the documents that Jakarta had received, and asked me to send them again. I had to dig through my computer and email them to a personal Gmail address (not an official government one), which felt a bit odd.

After about 15 minutes, one of the liasons came back and said okay, then told me I could go through immigration. They also had me fill out another short form with general information.

Overall, it wasn’t a big problem, but it definitely wasn’t as smooth as other people make it sound. My impression is that Phuket immigration might not be very familiar with this particular type of visa, or they just want to put on a front of being tough.

Hey everyone, the Vienna embassy asked me for proof of accommodation for a 1 month, which is totally fine. However, I made a small mistake and sent only proof for two weeks. 🥲 I misread their requirements. Will they ask me again? Or should I try to contact them via email and send them additional 2 weeks of accommodation? Does anyone have a similar situation? Thank you

Does anyone have any experience with handling the taxes that we remotely workers are supposed pay if we stay longer that 180 days?

Hey folks, I’ve been looking into medical insurance to cover me while in Thailand on a DTV. I was hoping to get something that would cover me for years with guaranteed renewals. But, I’ve been told that the local Thai insurers can’t cover me for long term health cover, because I’m officially a tourist, they can only offer travel insurance.

Seems the only option is the big international (expensive) providers.

Has anyone had any luck with long term medical cover?
