How do I obtain a TM30 form for my retirement visa renewal if it's been over 7 days since submission?

John **********

Yes. Not available after 7 days although immigration may be able to see it. If they want you to provide a receipt you'll have to get your landlord to resubmit and provide you with a copy of the receipt

Why was my Bangkok Bank account frozen, and how can I unfreeze it as a DTV visa holder?

John **********

so many things getting mixed up here. Do you have a Thai SIM registered in your name associated with your bank account? If not that is likely your issue. Go and visit your mobile service provider and get the number in your name then go and speak to your bank

Is the ED visa considered a long-term visa for opening a bank account in Thailand?

John **********

I think that most people with genuine accounts have nothing to worry about. If you had an agent open an account for you that's different, in which case I'd recommend you take your passport and go visit your bank branch and talk to them

Should I apply for a 30-day extension or do a border run in Thailand?

John **********

Take the extension and get 30 days. Then if you need to border bounce use a border run company to do so. Highly unusual for 30 day extension to be refused
