@Cheryl ***************

For your first year you will need the 800k in a Thai bank account. Not all immigration offices allow the combination method. Only the immigration office you use will be able to tell you this

Do DTV visa holders need to report every 90 days to immigration in Thailand?

Jim ********

He's wrong. I've always done 90-day reporting by mail, and I'm in and out of the country on a very regular basis. That's in Bangkok, I'm not aware of other immigration offices. Perhaps you're confused

Do I need to submit the TM30 certificate each time I enter Thailand if I own a condo but visit only occasionally?

Jim ********

I was on OA with second "free" year twice in a row. I lived in Thailand for four consecutive years. Never once visited an immigration office, never filed a TM30 or a 90-day report. Never got fined.

Get a DTV if you're going to be in and out, the most convenient visa for regular travellers. Keep in mind owning a condo makes no difference, and only switch passports if you're also undergoing plastic surgery to change your facial biometrics, and also get your fingerprints altered

People in DTV who bounce within 180 days won't need to use "immigration service" - that's the point I'm making
