The current situation is that you will not be required to prove ongoing access to the 500,000 baht if you leave and return at least once every 180 days. The situation could change in the future if they decide to check upon entry to Thailand, but it is not likely to cause a problem in the short-term.

To do a 90 day report by mail in Bangkok you need to postmark the envelope 14 days before the due date, and include a stamped self addressed envelope to get the receipt mailed back

Include the following in the packet:

data page of your passport

(They used to require TM6, but might be good to include a copy of your TDAC if you have it)

TM30 receipt

Mail it here;

Online is no considered in person, so yes, that one needs an in-person report first. That means physically going there, or reporting by mail, the first time.

reporting by mail is considered an in-person report and can be done for the first report.

It's far more about how long you've spent in Thailand than it is about how many times. The thing immigration doesn't like is people trying to live in Thailand without a long-term visa. You've just made a couple of short visits exactly as a tourist would.

Also, they will normally give you a warning before denying entry.

Many countries are suspending regular postal mail to the US until the de minimus rule fallout is all figured out. I believe Fedex, UPS and DHL are still functioning though.

The US has not indicated to partner postal services how they will be handling 4 million packages per day that will now be required to go through customs and have taxes collected. Until that information is clarified, most countries are ceasing it.

tourist entry is tourist entry. There have been reports of people warned they will not be allowed in again even with a multiple entry tourist visa.

@Ian ********
then your application next year will be denied for failing to meet the requirements of your previous extension. And technically your extension is invalid the moment you stop meeting the requirements so you would technically be on overstay as of that moment. I've never heard of an immigration office actually arresting someone for that overstay but I've definitely seen people report being threatened about it by immigration when told to leave Thailand and get a new visa.

@Pierre ********
the only requirement for marriage is 400,000 in the account 2 months before you apply. Once you have the extension there is no further requirement until next year where you need 400,000 again in your account 2 months before you apply.

Your question cannot be answered as you have not provided what type of visa and which embassy is processing it. Both of those make a difference as each embassy is different and even different visas at each embassy are processes differently.
