just a recap:

-before flying to Thailandia i need to fill online the tdac

-when i rent my condo I need the t30 receipt from the landlord

- before 90 days staying I need to go to the immigration office to fill the t90 (after the first time it's possible to fill it online).

anything else bureaucratic to do?

thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
Before flying to Thailand, ensure you complete the TDAC online within three days of your arrival. When renting a condo, obtain the TM30 receipt from your landlord. For your 90-day stay, you must submit the TM47 form in-person at the immigration office; this can be done within two weeks before or one week after your 90th day in Thailand. This covers the crucial bureaucratic steps an expat must take.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

There will never be a second 90 day report on DTV, since you need to have left at day 180, or started from 1 in a new 180 day period.

1) yes, submit TDAC online up to 3 days prior to your arrival in Thailand.

2) yes, get TM30 receipt from property

3) the 90-day report form is called TM47 but it must be done in person at the immigration office the first time. The window of time that this must be done is up to 2 weeks prior to your 90th day continuously in Thailand or up to a 1 week after the 90th day.
