great pointer to have home-country bank records in hand too. I know my bkk bank prints the international transfer notation, so good with that too. Thanks

Thanks - it just seemed unclear since it is on me to determine the new report date. But that works for me - thanks

How do I know if I needed to do a TM30 the day after I arrived? This is the first I have heard of that. Do you a reference? I know i was asked for a tm30 when I did the 90 day report- and my building management can include the date I 'booked' back in I suppose

@Roberto ********

Thanks - that's all I could understand so far. As I understand it in the first year you have to do BOTH the 880k plus the 65k /month in order that the following year(s) you can just do the 65k/month only... I just hope to hear them say that and perhaps something in writing...

@Roberto ********

yes! I aim to do that when applying for the 2nd extension. I will be able to show the 12 months of deposits, and I am guessing it will be during the application process that I request to use the 65k monthly method for the 2nd year, as I have not seen any forms for it, etc. Any basic advice on that? Thanks

yes, not worry would be great, but as noted, I did drop below during the allowable time period, which for me made things a little easier.
