Doesn't matter one bit. No rule about not being able to travel around Thailand, or even outside of Thailand and coming back again, just because you signed a lease agreement for a home. Every time a tm30 is filed it is the only one that matters. It "cancels" any previous ones. It's only the latest that matters, and that it is at the home address where you are going to apply for the extension. You could have visited numerous hotels in the mean time and all of them would (theoretically) do a tm30 the day you checked in at that address. You just need to "check in" again with a new tm30 at your home address after that, and before applying for the extension. That's how it works.

So what your landlord did was just fine.

You won't have any issues or questions about that.

@Craig ******

starting a visa application for my Thai wife soon and just gathering info now. Visa fee alone is 18K Thai baht, or around roughly $550. So yeah 😂

Edit: for Denmark

@Andreas ********

wait.. does Bangkok bank charge you for depositing money?

I transfer to Kasikorn each month. Only way I get charged by them is if I use swift from my bank. Used Wise in the past, and using Revolut now. Not getting charged at Kasikorn at all for that. Only pay the fee in the app for the transfer.

@Ros ****

It doesn't matter where you currently live. When you are in front of the Thai immigration officer at passport control into Thailand after your flight here, the only thing that matters is that passport. It would have to be valid of course.

@Ros ****

do you hold a Nepalese passport? Then this applies to you.

From Thai embassy in Katmandu: Holders of NEPALI OFFICIAL passport do not need a visa to enter Thailand

Then plus housing etc

@John *******

that won't do it. Between 25K and 50K thai baht per term for tuition at the lower end.

@Brandon ***********

beware that not all immigration offices offer that initial 90 day visa for marriage. My local one says you have to go to an embassy outside Thailand. It might be a minority of offices.. But still. Check first, or prepare to maybe have to take a trip. Getting it before traveling would be advisable if possible.

@Tony ********

on the positive side, you'd know beforehand if you are refused entry. Compared to already being here after a possibly long flight, only to be refused entry for whatever reason.
