'Tips' make the world go round....

@Ivan ***********

I would happily live with my conscience if it means not going to immigration every time I go and visit another province. Why do more than you need to. I am not sure about Phuket, but it is not enforced in most other places. Also you really only need to register the TM 30 if you will be going into an office for an extension or other reason. Otherwise if not visiting an office, there will be no fines or consequences.

It is only when you go out of the country.

555 You are right there Robert :) I have checked my stamp at the airport and it has been wrong a number of times and had it corrected.

Why anyone would not check the stamp that they receive in their passport is beyond me. I always check every time.

Visa will be good. New passport will not help in any way for entry into Thailand with an online immigration system.

Dan Goodwin 20k THB cash or same in other currency, proof of accommodation and flights out of Thailand. These may NOT be asked for, but any or all can be asked for at any time, especially if the IO wants to question the reason for your entry into Thailand.

It will depend on the IO on the day as there is no rule or limit to entries by air on Visa exemptions or tourist visas. Have 3 proofs as Robert recommended.

Getting a new passport to 'erase' any previous entries went out the window the moment they out everything online. 6 month visa is a good recommendation for a long stay and mutiple entries.

A Yes. B Yes. C Yes. Everything is online. New passport has zero affect on entry into Thailand. The only affect it has is for applying for visas in neighbouring countries as they do not have an online database.
