needs to be booked on one ticket with luggage to be collected at final destination. anythiing requiring self checkin (ie change of airline in Bangkok wont work)

@Len *****

whatever works for you go for it. I figured 400baht was worth me taking the time to go and wait at MFA considering the difficulty to park there etc and then wait around. If you are in a hurry to get the paperwork certified then going to Bangkok may work best for you. Good luck!

You can get it translated at most translation agencies. But it still needs to go to MFA for certification afterward. I had this done in Jan 2016 - 1800baht total (400 translation, 400 for the translation sending it to MFA on my behalf, 1000 for the MFA stamp) - took about 3 weeks to come back. You can probably get the translation done in Chiang Mai but it will need to go tpo MFA in Bangkok for the stamp.

I used to do that but never needed to use them often enough ....

if for some reason you need a hard copy later on, you can always print it out or perhaps send to email address of whoever is requesting it

@Pauline ******

1 copy of everything plus a digital copy of all docs as backup should be enough :)

@Garrett **********

is that because, each time he notifies immigration for the extension, that counts as his notification?

@Garrett **********

isnt a TM30 different to the 90 day notification (TM47? seems to me that he needs to notify of being in country for 90days - that is independent of the TM30 housemaster form.

some cover asmyptomatic, some dont. Need to ask your insurer.

When you say "not leave the airport" do you mean stay inside transit area, or clear immigration to collect luggage?
