there's plenty of examples on various visa FB groups. What's with the ad hominem argument? Is that your level, name calling. Well done to you...I don't tell immigration what to do... Perhaps you should take it up with them.
standard IO procedure in both Bangkok and Kanchanaburi.
They check that you are actually living there and speak with your neighbours to verify. As for aura etc... that's all in your head, best of luck with that.
If your girlfriend has all the documents, and that's where you are staying she can register on the tm30 system, and once she has a user name, she can complete your TM30.
Yes best to be correct with immigration, they will likely do a home visit while you are on the under consideration period, to check you live there and speak with your neighbours to verify etc.
You will need to do a formal change of address when you move, different from the TM30, I forget the TM number
thanks for coming back to me. Yes, my mistake, if it has already been approved, you have to enter with it. However if it hasn't been approved when you enter, say a late application, then it can be approved while you are in Thailand, and you can use on the next visit.
