DTV approved!

For initial entry, is it mandatory to live more than a month?

Or is it okay to stay a week?

I have a retirement visa and rent a villa. My friend from the US was in a scooter accident in Vietnam and broke his leg. He just flew in to stay with me for a few weeks until he has better mobility. Do I need to take him to immigration to report he is temporarily living at my rental house, and what are the documents needed? Does the house owner need to be involved?

Can you have a thai driving license with a DTV?

I'm irish im coming over in September for long holiday.i know I can get 2 months no visa is it hard getting one over there?

Question around the TM30 for any experts out there.

I’ve been mostly staying in hotels since I arrived and am moving around a bit e.g. Pattaya, Bangkok, Hua hin, Phuket etc.

Question is, when the time comes to go and file my first ever TM30 at immigration on day 85 of my stay, do I just ask my current hotel for my current TM30 print out or do I need to be collecting TM30 records from each hotel along the way to present some kind of record to them?

The website / information is ambiguous to say the least.

Cheers

TM30 question. Searched but it wasn't clear.

I recently moved to Bangkok (condo owner did a Bangkok TM30 online).

Last weekend

did a quick trip to Pattaya. Marriott probably did a Pattaya TM30.

Is the TM30 currently required if you take a weekend trip within Thailand (and return to same Bangkok condo)?

Pattaya Jomtien IO no longer require TM30s for short trips inside Thailand. I am hoping the same policy is now in place in Bangkok.

Doing one year (non-imm. O) extension at CW Bangkok next week.

Hi guys

Can someone please tell me the Thailand tourist,Visa entry options for Australian passport and Indian passport as I have seen that both of them don’t need a Visa for 90 days but there’s something else they needed like a E-Visa or it’s not very clear in the website. Can someone please help me for 1 week visa only?

Thanks in advance 

Let me warn everybody the Bluport immigration office in Hua Hin now requires a TM 30 for 30 day extension, everything has changed 

Can an non-immigrant - O Visa 90 days, for Swedish pensioners, be extended 30 days by the immigration authority in Thailand? (Rayong). What are the requirements if so.??
