Nothing new is posted as nothing has changed. The 60 days visa exemption initiated 15th July last year is still the only updated official information regarding this, -and you can still apply for a 30 days extension as well.

Ok, then I guess it could be a bit murky anyway as internet connection and smart phones are a bit of the main issue here.

I guess these TDAC kiosks will communicate directly with the immigration then so no print or digital QR-code is needed?

You formally don’t need a thai bank account to purchase a property, but you’ll need a thai bank account to apply for a visa or do an extension of stay in Thailand. (Unless your embassy offers to provide you a affidavit letter regarding income). So best option is to apply for a visa before you come with your bank at home and open a bank account after when in Thailand for your extension.

Tore Valberg It depends on how you do the registration. If it is done electronically you will get a screenshot or receipt. If it is done manually you will get such a receipt in your passport. I don't think I have mentioned the 90-day report either.

I think it varies between immigrations whether they require a new updated TM.30 for the same address when you apply for an extension. But it is this TM.30 receipt you get in your passport that they are looking for.

Yes, that’s the required TM.30 receipt. In general there’s no known new requirement for extension this year, but the requirements varies slightly between immigrations and for any local changes you’ll need to check with your specific immigration.

Easiest option is probably to apply for a six months multiple entries tourist visa, so-called METV. Gives you a 60 days stay upon entry each time within 180 days which can be extended with additional 30 days at your local immigration. This means you’ll need to do one border bounce if you want to stay for more than 3 months.

The Non O-A visa is valid for one year after it’s issued and gives you a one year stay each time you enter within one year. This means it could possibly give you up to two years in Thailand if you update your health insurance also for the second year.

@Eric ********

Why worry. Even if it’s changed back to 30 days you still can apply for an additional 60 days extension on a visa exemption visiting family as married to a Thai.
