While i see some people saying it is acceptable at some offices, i didnt read a comment that someone actually uses that method. The requirement is 800k @ 400k baht, it doesnt mention or equivelant. Surely any bank statements would be in the foreign currency not baht, so who is expected to do the 365 daily calculations on the appropriate exchange rate for each day to ensure it didnt drop to 799k or 399k or below depending on the specific month of the year?

my understanding is different, and the lack of end date creates a permanent record, any short term hotel stays with end dates create a temporary record. Meaning the permanent record after returning from the hotel is now the active record again and the original pdf can be used without filing a new tm30. I've only filed one tm30 on the new system at my BK house, but stayed in 4 hotels that registered TM30's, and had no problems with my online 90 day reports in the last year.

unless you have one with a checkout/until date filled in, a field used by hotels etc. As it will expire on that date, long term stayers should leave it blank so it doesnt expire.

the result of that meeting was an agreement 'To investigate and Discuss further', not an agreement to actually change.

the online systems of 90 day and tm30 are now linked and the data fields are cross checked.

One question would be on the TM30 side, on how old is it? It has to be currently active, that is 'on the new system' (so probably less than 12 months old), and the 'checkout date' mustn't be in the past. (blank is best to prevent expiry).

When i apply yearly for my extension of stay, for which I have a multi-re entry permit, the re entry permit becomes void from the day i submit the application, although it has amonth still to run. If i want to leave the country while my paperwork is considered i have to purchase another Single re entry permit to cover the under consderation period. Then when the extension is approved a new Multi re entry permit with the same dates as the new extension. This obviously leads to overlapping dates on the permits, but only the most recent is recognised.

I'm not sure of the dates, but it has to be getting on for a year since IMM introduced the new TM30 system. Its the new system thats linked, not the old one, and i suspect they have now shut down the old one and not accesable to IMM online process. So you have to have a TM30 on the new system, passport no, address and name have to be same on both sytems, and on the TM30 the 'leaving date' needs to left blank so it doesnt expire and you keep a copy of the pdf so you can use it to fill in the tm47 next time.
