That possibly would have been a funny joke if I was 12. I’ve heard all the jokes that my surname could invoke since then. Mine originates from a Scottish Clan.

Do you know where your surname originates?

@James ******

Look in a mirror. Repeat those words.

I’m certainly not angry. I just fail to comprehend why on one of my answers you thought you were the grammar police and “corrected” me on my not needed correction and then went on to belittle someone for not knowing some of the rules of the country they are living in. Presumably promoting yourself as some ethical being that knows all.

It’s not anger. Just puzzlement why you even bother to post.

FYI they want a Google map print of your house with latitude and longitude. How do you get that?

Use Google maps at your house. Don’t press on the “blue dot” of your location but long tap and hold on a “blank” area just next to it. This will create a “dropped pin” that will give you the exact latitude and longitude needed.

A DTV is valid for 5 years.

400 baht.

What they live on is an irrelevant question compared to costs of using an agent versus DIY. Someone investing smartly with overseas funds of US$25k (800k Thai baht) could easily cover the $600 (20k Thai baht) agent fee. Someone may only need to live off 30k per month and doesn’t need to transfer 65k. I’m just pointing out that an agent fee may be more viable for some than others.

The proceeds of their investments from not having to leave 800k in a Thai bank for a year. Or Bitcoin perhaps. I don’t know.

The TM30 could be 2 years old and it wouldn’t be an issue - except if you have stayed in a hotel, hospital or left the country since then. It’s the last filing on the system that counts. If that’s your current address then that’s fine.

@Michael ********

Yes they tell you that but that’s the “manual” way of filing a TM30. You also have the option of filing the “online” version. It’s the same thing. For the latter ensure you have a print out of the actual filing.
