Do I need to notify my landlord to update my TM30 each time I return to Thailand?

Stuart *********

That’s office dependent. Some will want to every time. Others will say they don’t need it. You’ll have to ask your office’s policy

Is a 24-hour exit notice stamp affecting my DTV application in Thailand?

Stuart *********

They haven’t got a DTV yet. They got stamped in for 90 days on a visa waiver (Brazil and a few other countries get this).

Stuart *********

Edited [re-read the post]

89 days after 25th Jul is 22nd Oct

You have a Brazilian passport (or another country that allows a 90 day visa waiver

The stamp in Thai underneath translates to something like “overstay but fine waived as less than 24 hours”.

Can I renew my NON-O visa in Thailand without an agent after depositing 800,000 baht in the second year?

Stuart *********

Generally if you use an agent to “fund” your visa/extension they you’re stuck on that gravy train until you start afresh with a “clean” visa.

Like everything here it is probably office dependent so check with yours as to their policy.

Can my mother-in-law apply for a Non-O Retirement Visa from Vietnam using her UK bank account?

Stuart *********

When you apply for a visa outside of Thailand you can use any bank around the world so long as their statements meet the requirements set by that embassy or consulate.

Therefore having the equivalent of 800k in a UK bank would be fine. The statements don’t have to be stamped or signed.

What is the 90-day check-in procedure for Digital Nomad Visas (DTV) in Thailand?

Stuart *********

The “first” report since entering the country - each time. Since most on a DTV will only file one report during the 180 day stamp then all of their reports will be their “first”.

Should you time things so you need to do a second report you can do that online.

Why is the visa fee for Thailand 12,500 baht instead of 10,000 baht as advised?

Stuart *********

NZ charge nearly 40,000 baht to apply there. I think Laos does them for 10,000, but it’s probably going to cost you more than 2,500 baht to get there and stay during the processing time.
