They will require proof that you are in the country you are applying from. Usually hotel bookings and entry stamps in your passport will suffice.

Depends on what you call a large amount. For 10k ($, £, €) etc then wise is probably the cheapest option. For 100k or above then your banks swift rate may well be the cheaper option.

A TM30 is something your house owner or hotel files. You won’t need to have one unless you have need of interaction with immigration.

If they file online it takes them about 3 minutes or less to do so.

Forget it if you’re on a ED visa. Good luck trying if you’re not on a Non Immigrant visa. Probably best to contact an agent.

What has that got to do with the price of cheese? What’s getting tougher? The need or not need to file a TM30? As stated it’s office specific. Nothing to do with Russians or Chinese.

What the law states and what interpretation of that the office uses can vary vastly.

That’s going to be specific to the immigration office you use. Some require a new TM30 if you stay a night away from your home. Some don’t care if you travel within Thailand and return home. Some don’t seem to care if you travel overseas and return home.

With no visa bought prior you’d get a 60 day visa exempt stamp on arrival and can extend that once for a further 30 days at a local immigration office. Leave and re-enter after that for a repeat of 60+30.
