I have a METV & my fiancee & I rent a condo, Do I need a TM30 everytime I visit her(29 days & under)?

Does anyone have recommendations for renting condos in Bangkok? I have been looking into renting a condo using facebook groups however i am running into issues.

Hello, I am trying to find a long stay condo, I see agents here ask for a booking fee which is first month rent without getting any contract signed or other paper. Also, two different agents, one asked that this booking fee to be transferred to the owner directly and the other asked to send it to the agency bank account.

It is very strange to me to transfer money without any confirmation, anyone some advice here? 🙏

Hi all, I’ll be coming to Thailand end of November beginning of December on a non o based on retirement (UK), my question is can I open a bank account while staying in a hotel ? My plan is first couple of weeks in hotel while looking for a condo. Is it possible to open a bank account while staying at a hotel and what documents would I need to do this ?

Also does anyone recommend any agencies for rental and sale of condos in Pattaya/Jomtien area ?

Thanks for any advice and recommendations

Hi,

is it easy/possible to rent a condo for 12 months on a DTV (on the basis you have to leave the country ever 6 months and may not return) now that its virtually impossible to hold a Thai Bank Account?

thanks

Do I need a special type of visa to rent a condo in Bangkok and travel between the US and Bangkok? Plan would be to rent a place there and stay in BKK for 2-3 weeks every other month or so and when not there be back in the US.

Possible? Will a standard tourist visa work? Can I rent a yearly condo with this type of set up?

Thanks!

Hi all, I just arrived in thailand on a DTV. Does anyone have any useful tips / tricks to share that you’ve picked up from your own journeys?

Please note I’ve been to Thailand many times as a holiday maker but this will be my first time working here.

Hey all - how much of a problem is it if my host will not fill out a TM30 for short stay condo?

I arrived I Thailand 2 days ago and had rented a condo on booking.com for my first 9 nights while I search for something long term.

I hadn’t met the host and only thought to text about my TM30 yesterday - asking to make sure they filled it out.

They asked what visa I was on and said that TM30 was only for over 30 days.

I replied and said even 1 night should have a TM30 and they replied they would “ask the owner”.

Haven’t heard back from them and doubting they will do it now - will this be a problem when I do my 90 day report?

As a DTV holder, how feasible is it to rent a apartment/condo in bangkok for long term? Like minimum 2 years at least.

Assuming you return home every 180 days to avoid the hassle of extension, is it safe to leave your belongings in your rented place while you are away? Any dtv holders here who can chime in please?

I’m arriving Sept 10 on my DTV. I plan on staying 6 months and will be looking for a condo to rent. I have 2 Airbnb’s set up for my first week while I look for permanent condo. My question is I know I have to do a 90 day report and I keep hearing about a Tm30 do I need to get this from the 2 Airbnb’s or do I wait until I get my permanent place?
