Ok. You cannot "renew" a visa. If you mean you are applying for a 12-month extension, if your landlord has filed the TM30, you don't need to present anything to immigration. Just ensure you have your last 90-day report notification if you have been in the country for more than 90 days

Most visas are now eVisas. You need to specify WHICH visa

During the two years I was on OA I never submitted one 90-day report. They don't care at the airport, and as you don't have to attend an immigration office during those two years, it'll never be picked up. In the zillion to one chance it is, it's a 2000 baht fine. But it won't be picked up

You're probably best advised to get the ME Tourist Visa - this can give you up to nine months with two border bounces

A tourist visa or a free entry stamp?

It's a Immigration Office specific thing. I have a buddy who does two transfers a month,

baht each, for retirement visa, and this is accepted at Bangkok. The problem is it creates a bit of extra work for the IO, and I prefer to keep it as simple as possible to make them happy. He gets away with it, with 2x per month, but it's really down to your immigration office

If you're using an agent to bypass the financial criteria, it's hardly "legit" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Exactly. And a business that nets me 20,000 baht tax free for two hours sitting in an air-conditioned office reading a book is a pretty good one. 95% of my income is from managed super funds, stockmarket returns and investment properties, which is all "passive" - I don't have to lift a solitary finger!

I couldn't justify spending 20,000+ baht for something I can do myself in a couple of hours. If I pay myself to do simple visa extensions it's 10,000 baht per hour tax free I'm getting. That works for me! 👍😆
