Do DTV holders need to file a 90-day report in Thailand and how does it relate to the TM30 form?

Tony ********

@David ***********

the two things you mention, tm47 & tm30 have nothing to do with visa's, they are stand alone requirements(laws), there are probably another 1000 laws you wouldn't be told about when you apply for a visa or enter the country.

Is it possible to obtain a Thai work visa and citizenship through my wife by starting a business under her name?

Tony ********

Having a work permit is only one of the routes, being married is another route, the commonality is same visa extension of stay for 3 years and tax return receipts.

Do Thai citizens need a passport to travel to Malaysia?

Tony ********

@Robert ********

before brexit, you could travel to any EU country without a passport, and europeans can still travel within EU without passport. ASEAN is akin to EU in some repects.

non immigration visa's dont have the problem. Tourist and visa exemptions dont fulfil the banking requirements.

How is the experience of getting a 30-day visa extension in Bangkok?

Tony ********

Historically it was full of people on 30 day excemptions topping up to 60. There are going to be far fewer real tourists topping up 60 days to 90.

Why was my 90-day report for my Non-O retirement visa rejected when I did it online just a day late?

Tony ********

As the e-mails are auto generated its quite common for these to be treated as spam/junk by your e-mail client and for it to file them straight away unless you have flagged the sender as a contact/not junk.

When should I update my bank passbook for my non-O retirement visa extension application in Thailand?

Tony ********

For most offices, it would be acceptable to have the bank letter, the statement from the bank and photo copies of your bank book pages dated within 7 days of your application, and on the day make a withdrawl (making sure the balance doesnt drop below the required amount), update the bank book, get a copy of the latest page.

Can my friend who is moving to Thailand get a bank account sharing my apartment and with a non-O retirement visa?

Tony ********

@Ross *********

agree, but i'm pretty sure your not aware of all the laws that actually exist in your home country. The onus with this scenario is it falls to the visitor to keep on top of it and communicate it when not staying in hotels.
