For 90 day report you count 89 days after your entry date.

For TM30 your landlord or house owner should report you within 24 hours.

Sorry hadn’t seen the comment that you’d already updated the slip

The residence slip in your passport is the “manual” filing of a TM30. Your landlord can also file an “online” version. They’re the same thing.

Have your landlord (or you if you’re the property owner) file a new TM30 online. Takes a few minutes.

You are not going to be thrown out of the country for a typo on a residency slip.

You may have an issue on your next extension but just file a TM30 to update the address before you apply.

Yes it’s the property owners responsibility to report foreigners staying at their property. Some do. Some don’t. If you need interaction with immigration then you can normally do so on their behalf with documentation from them.

Different offices have different requirements to do so if you are trying to do it yourself without them present.

The onus is on them to do it. Via the online system it takes them possibly 3 minutes to do.

Completely the other way around. In person they generally wouldn’t let you get to the payment stage if you hadn’t got everything right to start with.

With the evisa system once you’ve paid that’s it. Sure they may ask you for extra documentation but if you have mis-typed something like your first or last name or similar your application will be rejected and you will lose the application fee.

The DTV is a glorified tourist visa. Not a non immigrant visa.

You are not allowed to work in Thailand and therefore why would you possibly need funds based in Thailand?

Yes you are correct that the MFA sells visas and Immigration control what happens to those with visas inside the country.

Whoa. What? Where did that come from? Who mentioned anything about seasoning? No one ever.

No one knows what any requirements will be but I can’t see seasoning funds in a Thai account being one of them. As a DTV holder there has never been a requirement to have funds in a Thai bank.

Some embassies or consulates may require to to have the funds in your bank account for 3-6 months to apply for the visa but once you have the visa then you can do what you want with those funds.
