@Dominic ******
you won't get anything back. You have 7 days from the day that you submit a TM30 to go back into the system and search for the submission you made. Once you find it you can click on the export button to generate a pdf. That is your proof of TM30. If 7 days passes you can no longer search for it and get proof so if you forgot or didn't save it, you would need to submit a new one and then search for it to print it.

As you can see there are many reasons people would be submitting TM30s all the time, even if they just need proof but can no longer access it.

TDAC would have nothing to do with it. The immigration system would know, unrelated to TDAC completely

Each immigration office sets their own requirements. So two offices will not be the same. I know in Chiang Mai they are requiring a Thai bank account. From what many reports from multiple offices have said, the immigration officers basically do not want to grant DTV extensions and are suggesting people leave and return to get a new 180 day stamp. Here are the published requirements for Bangkok.

Whether you need a paper copy or not will vary by immigration office. But the ones that don't require a paper copy will absolutely require that one has been filed for you and is in the system.

@AllSabaai *****
Where did I say you were wrong? What I have a problem with is the fact that you specifically stated, even if you WERE wrong, you refuse to be corrected and will not listen to anyone trying to give you correct information. That you would rather just continue on giving incorrect information. That's a very ignorant statement to make.

You have no idea what you are talking about. They applied for a DTV and the embassy gave them an METV instead. They didn't have any METV before that.

No one has been prosecuted. IF they are going to ever start enforcing this, they're going to wait until the DTV people have been here for a few years already, and then get them for multiple years of back taxes. No good to spring the trap early

@AllSabaai *****
What kind of comment is that at the end? "Let me stay stupid and keep giving incorrect information?"

There are certainly things you can and are supposed to declare. But just use 2 luggage carts, one for you and one for your wife, and walk out like you own the place. Most of the time the customs people don't even look up from their phone, but if you don't look like you're trying to sneak anything in, they normally won't bother you even if they see you.
