no, that’s not correct...there are minimum attendance hours each DAY and WEEK, it’s not averaged out over 180 days or when you want...this is set by MOE (Ministry)...failing to comply with attendance requirements can see you loose your stay. Some schools fudge your attendance records to cover for any non-attendance but immigration do catch people out through compliance checks (on site visits etc)

Robert Lagas that’s what I’m saying he needs to ensure MOE has approved the non-attendance or he could lose his visa extension. Not wise to guess!

Jools Gray it’s not the study part that is compulsory which is implied anyway, it’s the attendance...so many hours a day/so many days EVERY week...you can’t attend if your outside the country...that’s why I posed the question above whether the school has any legal role to allow your non-attendance for a month when It’s the Ministery (MOE) that enforces it...maybe they can...like to hear who knows?

I thought there was a minimum amount of hours for ATTENDANCE every week - how can he meet this attendance requirement and still be eligible for ED visa/extension, when he fails to attend for a month, and how can the school approve non/attendance for a month, when the minimum requirements are set and enforced by MOE...I realise the school can lie about attendance as some do...but if immigration do a compliance check it would be discovered...just curious?

Joshua Sasiprapa well according to Tod and others it’s not enforced in BKK, but...as I said I always did it anyway... if you search TM30 on here you will see the majority of people say it’s not... so many different opinions lol...that’s why I always play it safe and lodge

Bangkok doesn’t enforce TM30 lodgement, so need to lodge if you don’t want...

Personally I always do in case things change...and some foreigners have been caught out in Bangkok when immigration visit condos etc...meant to be the owner who pays the fine but often ends up being the foreigner who pays as immigration refuse to process extensions, 90’day reports etc without the fine being paid.

Good luck

Income method has to be MONTHLY otherwise they would say quarterly lol

Jodi Hammond you’re welcome, yeah I’ve always used my lease which covers the entire period anyway and good to know KL specifically requires the entire period, good luck 🙂

Jodi Hammond mine states a current period, if yours does not then it’s not really current.

You need to have CURRENT lease or other proof of accomodation for the relevant period you will apply for Visa...but never heard it had to be for whole 60-90 days, I thought even first few days hotel stay was sufficient 🤔

Show your lease, it should include a copy of everyones ID as part of the lease too ... that’s what I do
