Each office may be different but most if you leave the nation even border bounce requires new tm30. As typically when we go out , coming back stay at hotels a few days or weeks before return to private home, next day go immigration do tm30 as hotels report between. I've known some fined 4 6 10k thb for failing to report and thinking it's ok until doing 90 day. It's your LOCAL that decides

funny my tm30 is from there 2017 and they know I often go kk for medical treatment, just transferred that tm30 to new passport, no problems. But I've been traveling internally for meetings and medical for years. They know I spent a few weeks there when wife was extremely ill and hospitalized for specialists to figure out cause for example. Hint roll with the flow until they know you. 2008 was bad time as kept wanting more copies etc and other stuff. I smiled and complied until granted extension.

I've traveled all over isean and beyond, but only stay at hotels, no private residence but ours. TM 30 now pre covid. Immigration just transferred to new passport.

Almost 20 years ago went to report at local police station. Told we know who you are and are here again. Welcome back. Tell immigration next 90 day report. They do that form.

huh? So what is an OA?? ITS an annual. Are you saying it's not a year visa now??

I applied for a retirement visa in 2007 at the consulate in Los Angeles. Done extensions every year since. Your daughter will not be charged if overstay until 18. Ask at the embassy DC or consulate in many cities before you come. Much easier to have the annual visa in the passport before coming. That gives you about 8 months to prepare for extension

I think now on 17th extension.

I'd get the transfer done before doing extension or have everything except bank letter go do transfer ask about extension. Give them sufficient time.

well your tm30 is dead if you leave nation, ok if travel inside. Saw someone pay 5k as they didn't report. So go get milk eggs bread, do report all smiles free
