does the transfers show on your BKK bank statement “international transfer?” If so, you’re good. If not, you’ll have to prove you sent the money from the U.S. I was transferring about 0 bht each month through wise using my debit card and it showed “transfer from other bank”. I had to change and send from my checking acct using the reason on Wise as “long term stay in Thailand” and then it showed as International transfer.

agree. That’s why I specified Nonthaburi because I’ve heard other places require it, as I learned Monday that Nonthaburi requires other things for the 90 day report that Chaengwattana doesn’t. I guess the best thing is to take everything you could possibly need and let them hand you back what you don’t.

Yes, the time starts as day 1 when you’re stamped in. I have lived here for 8 months and just did my first 90 day report Monday due to me having to leave the country a few times. Also, I asked Immigration at Nonthaburi if I needed a new TM 30 each time I left and came back and they said no as long as I was going back to the same address. I scuba dive and leave the country to do so and have read different stories about the TM30 but they said as long as you’re going back to the same address as your original TM30, no need to get a new one.

I’ve been here 8 months on retirement and this was my first report due to leaving the country a few times since moving here last May. I’ve heard some got lucky and were approved for their first report online so I tried but was rejected the next day due to “no previous reports in the system.” I figured I’d get rejected but gave it a shot.

From the time I got to Chaengwattana with my friend at 9:35, got his 90 day, took a taxi to Nonthaburi Immigration, 24 minute taxi ride, and got mine, it was exactly 2 hours and 21 minutes. Both places really quick on the 90 day report.

Thank you. All I needed to know.

correct

non-o retirement visa with multiple entry

@James *******

no, I have a retirement visa with multiple entry valid for one year. I am supposed to report every 90 days but I have left the country due to my father passing away two weeks before I was to report the first time, then my brother in law passed away about 3 weeks before I was supposed to do my 90 day report so back to the US again. Then I left the country two more times to scuba dive so for this first year, I haven’t stayed in the Kingdom yet more than 90 days until now. I have to report by Feb 6th as I will have now been here 90 days without having to leave the country.

@James *******

I had to leave twice to go back to the states for funerals and went scuba diving out of the country another 2 times.
