Just bought 70 paper bags for bread 🍞. Take them with me when I come back in November.

I got tired of seeing every croissant disappearing in a small plastic bag.

With some good balanced organisation in using them, and some recycling. It must be enough for 6 months of 'plastic bag free croissants'.

My wife, two small children and I moved to Thailand two weeks ago. I want to apply for the DTV visa. I meet all the requirements. I read that every family member needs to apply but do I need to travel to Laos/Cambodia with my entire family or is it possible to go alone and provide their passports along with all the necessary documents?

Hello all.

I'm planning for a retirement visa when I reach 50 in a few years time. And I'm planning to find a place that I can stay without headache when come to the 90 days reporting and tone for renewal.

1) need to have ฿800k in bank

2) TM30 address to be submitted for the application

3) application before arriving in Thailand or apply when reach Thailand.

4) place to stay and easy to report for 90 days and or apply for renewal is ( any recommendations beside this few place)

1) Pattaya

2) Hua Hin

3) Bangkok?

4) hatyai

5) nongkhal

6) udon thain

To my understanding that if my landlord can summit the TM30 it can be any type of place to stay right

I'm from Singapore been in and out of Thailand under 30 days tourist stamp and use hatyai to exit and reentry for other 30 days tourist stamp. I'm a bit tired moving in and out every 30 days

Admin please delete if this is against the rules

Thank you.

Please advise.

Hello group. I'm getting ready to move out of my rental house after 2 years and I would like some advice on dealing with my landlord with regards to getting my deposit back. Specifically, there is a sofa with cheap plastic lining that started falling apart after only 6 months of normal use. My worst fear is that she's going to blame me for the damage and keep the 30k baht deposit claiming that she needs it for a brand new sofa. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. 😀

Hi I would like to know if anyone had ever tried to get a business visa through an EOR ( Employer of Record ) ?

If you do or no someone who has is it still a viable solution and which eor are you recommending I’ve seen so far one called shelter global.

It seems that Immigration is now rejecting online 90 Day reports when your last TM30 registration was not in the place where you are living/applying.

My last TM30 at the place where I live dates from January 2020, before Covid. Since then I've only traveled within Thailand and this was never a problem with 90 day notifications, also not for my most recent one 3 months ago.

But today the system gave me a 'rejection' because it found that my most recent TM30 registration was close to two years ago in Bangkok. This is interesting because I stayed in a whole lot more places since then all over Thailand, but I guess none of those did a TM30 report. 😉

So... People may want to think twice about checking into hotels with their passport because that means having to do another TM30. Which for some people is a hassle when they have to ask a landlord to visit the immigration office, etc.

(Of course if you have a login to the online TM30 site or app then it takes just 2 minutes to do another TM30 when you return after a holiday, so it's just a minor hoop to jump through. )

My wife and I are looking to go to Thailand for 3-4 months this winter. I'm wonder if anyone can give advice on long term car rentals or even looking to purchase a cheaper vehicle for this time. We will be staying in Suan Phueng.

If we like living there we'll be looking to make the move the following winter.

Thanks for the input.

Hey quick question...

For the last two years i had an ED visa(Hand To Hand Combat CM). I wanted to do another year but the school told me that i have to get out of Thailand for minimum 3 months and only then i can apply for another year with an ED visa.

My question is how many months you reckon i need to wait before i can come to Thailand "Safely" ? Is 3 months enough or should i wait more ?

I'm planning to come back with a SETV visa and after that reapply for an ED visa..

Thanks!

Hello friends, I'm currently living in Samui on SETVs (+extension) and am renting a condo from a friend (Thai citizen). For insurance purposes back home I now need a certificate of residence. I read in earlier posts that it's quite easy to get one valid for one month, but I prefer to have one valid until the the end of our rental agreement.

What documents are currently required at Samui immigration to get such a certificate?

In researching this, I learned that the owner of the condo did not yet register me with immigration. What would be the penalties for that and is this registration even required to obtain the certificate of residence?

In case the registration is required, how would that process work?

Thanks so much in advance!
