Glad to be able to share my discontent here and not have my post deleted. Also to open the eyes of others to the little discussed details of options, as you mention. As to the rules changing, well, over 10 years of my observations they do change. Unfortunately rarely in favor of the hapless immigrant.

Do whatever extortion method costs you the most money and meets all the ridiculous and unreliable rules of Thai Immigration. You'll be fine.

How does the 90-day reporting requirement in Thailand work when departing with an exit permit?

Michael ********

Thank you the clear guidance. A question more. Once you return and stamped back in with the re-entry permit, when preparing to make the 90 day report, will one need a 'fresh' TM30 or just the TM.47 is enough?
