If I rent a condo for a year.

1) I enter Thailand with my DTV multiples times over the year does my landlord have to submit a new TM30 every time I leave & come back ?

2) I travel around in Thailand and stay at various Hotel. They will submit a new TM30 at every stay does it invalidate the one my landlord made on my arrival ? Do I need to request a new one when my travel is done ?

Thanks for the help.

Hi everyone, I have had some help before in the group, so I’ll try again. It’s a tricky situation, a female friend of mines has a years lease on a condo through an agent. Although she has been generally happy with the condo location she has had issues with repairs needing done etc, in short her agent is a bit awkward I think but my friend seems to give benefit of doubt. She has put up with continuous noise from people renovating rooms to which she gets no support from agent or judicial office despite them saying no building work in high season from November to march. Anyway her dilemma is her sister is going into hospital in England in December, she is going home to look after her, she was going to keep condo on and just pay rent until she could return, however it now looks like it could be 6 months or more . She told agent she will travel home, agent not interested just said make provision to pay water and electric. So other friends told her to pack her stuff , store some with friend and take rest home, after she gets home email agent and put In notice, she paid two months deposit and has paid internet up front for year. Now she has been told if she does this the agent will take her to court and tell immigration and she will not be allowed to return to Thailand. She is only 3/ 4 months into lease everything paid up to date. She is now terrified to say anything to agent before leaving in case she has trouble with immigration and cannot get home for sisters operation.. I’m not sure if the information she is getting is corrected. Does agent really have so much authority to do this, we hear others who just leave condo owing rent etc . My friend would not want anything said against her. Should she just rent for rest of contract or leave and let agent get time to relet? Any advice ? She doesn’t have time to see a lawyer and is doing long arm support with hospital, carers and social work in UK so a bit stressed

Hey, I sent an application for the DTV and by mistake chose Ho Chi Minh instead of Hanoi (currently in Hanoi), does anybody know if they will reject my application solely because of this?

Folks on a DTV - are you able to open a Bank account? Also has anyone got a Thai tax ID or Pink card. Some of the banks are refusing to open an account on the DTV.

I’m curious. If you apply for a “ retirement O visa over 50” in Thailand you get a 90 day “visa”? That you then apply for a 1year extension, yes? But do you have to have the 800k in a Thai bank for the beginning 90 day “visa” or only for the 1year extension?
