Anonymous participant Who is reselling? Look or ask in other groups. People will tell you they put property up for sale and not a viewing in months. Is it agents telling you is is a lively market? Why are there 500k or more empty condo units in Bangkok. Been plenty in the press about it in just the last week.

It depends on the reason. If you have the money and intend to use it a long time then why not. If it is for capital gain or rental income there are better investments. There are 100's of thousands of empty unsold condo's in Bangkok. There is a reason for that.

Cost of a B is 1900 and a WP is 3000. If you use an agent they will obviously charge more. I did not go from DTV to a B but from O to B I had to leave country and apply outside. My O had to be cancelled before I could apply for a B. It might be different for a DTV so do not quote me.

90 day resets each time you enter. It is not cumulative.

It seems a bit extreme to travel to another country to avoid 90 days reporting. Even the nightmare of doing it in Bangkok. In Chiang Mai I do not even have to get off my scooter.

You mean new 180 day stamp - the 90 day just resets - there is no stamp.

It is easy at Jomtien. Get the TM30, fill in TM47 form there and hand over to Asmin staff in building forst right as you enter. Usuallt takes 20 minutes or so. They collect the applications in batches at that desk and take through to the Immigratin Officer in batches. They give you a number and when the passports come back they shout out the number. I always went just before 9am and never out later that 9:30

In Jomtien you need to attach the physical TM30 copy. In Chiang Mai he does not look at it and scans passport. It does need to be complete and up to date though. In Jomtien if I travelled and returned to same address no need to update. In Chiang Mai it has to be resubmitted upon return from travel.

The landlord or agent provides you with a copy.

Yes they do not issue but they still extend and do 90 day etc just as with any other Visa. Once you are inside the country it is immigration rules you are bound by not MFA. Keep carrying 2 passport and hope you never lose them.
