Do I need to file a TM30 again for my tenant for the 90-day report?

Biff *******

If she requires a printed copy then those are on,y available for download for 7 days after successfully filing.

If she wants a new one it may be that she’s travelled somewhere and that place also filed one.

What was the experience of entering Bangkok immigration like for a British passport holder on a DTV?

@Dana *********

Google search ‘fast track Bangkok immigration’ will give you a few results. Should cost around ฿1200

Due to the potential for long queues I always book fast track for immigration in Bangkok

Why do some foreigners complain about their experiences in Thailand, and how should they approach living there?

Biff *******

I was thinking you had some valid points, not necessarily ones I completely agreed with, but then you said The Bangkok Post was a credible news source. 🤷

What are the latest developments regarding the freezing of bank accounts in Thailand due to visa type issues?

@Greg *******

gf just told me she had to draw cash to pay at the pharmacy and small flower stall, food stall too. It may be that they’re overreacting but it’s definitely having an effect. Many Thai people also have accounts that were opened in different provinces so they’re being hit by withdrawal fees at the ATM as well.

They’re not happy!

Lots of small retailers are not accepting scan payments at the moment as they’re worried their accounts will be frozen.

Hopefully your wife is happy now that your SIM card is not in your girlfriend’s name.

Do I need to submit a hotel booking for my DTV visa application in Thailand if I'm temporarily staying in a hotel while searching for a condo?

Biff *******

It depends on which embassy you’re using. Malaysia typically wants confirmed and paid for accommodation for the entire length of your trip. Others are ok with a few days hotel booking.

You can outline your accommodation plans in your cover letter as well.

What should I put as my country of residence when returning to Thailand with a DTV visa after my border bounce?

Biff *******

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter. It’s just an arrival card. Don’t sweat it.

Do I need to do the TM30 every time I return to my long-term residency in Thailand after short travels within the country?

Biff *******

@Henrik ****

the reality is, as you should perhaps know being a ‘group expert’ that the person who has problems regarding the TM30 is not the landlord or property owner but the foreign tenant themselves.

Also, how is a landlord supposed to know that their tenant has gone away for the weekend?
