When you write 1.500k do you mean ฿1,500,000? As in one million, five hundred thousand? And the broker account has 3.5 million?

Anonymous participant only slightly more believable from that sensationalist sh*t-stirring ‘newspaper’.

If you are in the country for 90 continuous days, you report that fact to your immigration office. If you’re not, you don’t. You weren’t.

TM30 is nothing to do with 30 days. It’s an immigration requirement to report the presence of a non Thai individual staying at a property and should be done within 24 hours of their arrival.

90 day report is a TM47

TM is an anglicisation of the Thai initials ตม. Which is an abbreviation of the name of the RTP immigration bureau.

(ตรวจคนเข้าเมือง)They are the numbers of the forms used to file those reports. They do not correspond to numbers of days.

my comment was ‘not doing it (฿2000 fine) is cheaper than flying in and out’. Do try and read things more carefully, or ask if you don’t understand them.

Go to the immigration office and get them to tell you exactly what they’ll accept. Take your documents with you and ask them. They won’t bite you. Well, maybe just a little bite 😃

Anonymous participant is it the second time you’ve reported on one entry? Your entry stamp is 180 days so it would be difficult to do two 90 day reports in that time period.

Any way you look at it, your online report was rejected so your only option is to go in person or just not do the report at all. Not doing it is cheaper than flying in and out for sure.

Anonymous participant You don’t even have to be there, anyone can do it for you.

@Paul ******

it’s a multiple entry visa. You can come and go in ten minutes if you like. There are other multiple entry Thai visas which people bounce out/in with by just walking across a border and walking back in again. There’s no ‘I need to make this look reasonable’ like it’s a genuine trip or visit. You can use the multiple entry aspect of it exactly how you want.

If I’m in Phuket, for instance, and I have any kind of multiple entry access to Thailand (examples of which are; multiple re-entry permits on an extension of stay, a multiple entry tourist visa, and the, seemingly discontinued, multiple entry one year Non-Imm O) I could decide I want to go shopping in kuala lumpur for the day, fly out in the morning and fly back the same evening. There would be no questions as to why I didn’t stay for the weekend, or what was the purpose of my visit to Malaysia. It’s a perfectly normal thing to do, it takes the same amount of time as flying to Bangkok, and if your current visa or extension allows for it, you can easily do it. People fly to Singapore for the day quite regularly, it’s under two hours.

I think you’re inventing restrictions and limitations on this visa that don’t exist.

As for the cost, there are visa run companies charging around ฿6000 for hours in a van whereas a same day return Phuket to KL on Air Asia 08:15 outward, 19:35 return flight is less than half that.
