Looking for recommendations for retirement visa agents pls, preferably one that can do it with passport only rather than having to attend in person. I’m around Khon Kaen if that helps.
My 60-day visa exemption period will soon expire and I want to go to the Immigration Office for a 30-day extension. I have a question about the TM30 document that need to submit for the extension application. I signed a 6-month condo contract (because I planned to do one visa-run) and haven't actually lived in others places in Thailand for those 60 days than my condo. Now I'm wondering if the immigration officer will be suspicious if I give them a TM30 with a "from-to" date and he sees 6 months (I don't know if a landlord can just give me a document where he put only one month, maybe its an option) and they won't grant me an extension due to the recently tightened rules. I'm wondering if a safer solution would be to book a hotel for a few days and request a TM30 from that hotel. But then I'm wondering if the immigration officer has access to my residence registration history in the system and can see that I have no history for those 60 days except for this one hotel. Does anyone know how this registration system works in practice?
An I ask the group, is the 5 year visa x5 of 180 day periods? And would you prefer it to non-o / non-b? I need to support working remotely as a network security engineer / cybersecurity engineer
Just completed my 90 day report at Patong Immigration branch. Just took my passport and visa. No Tm30. I gave the officer my paperwork took 3 minutes and was done EASY
