My landlord never files the TM30 immediately when I arrive from the UK. Usually about a week later but this year one month later!

Arriving 1st time in February so will get 45 days.

If you look at the 1st page of your IDP (p.3) you will see the categories written in English (p.8 for Spanish), and A is for motorcycles so no you are not covered.But hey! if you dont know, Im damn sure the Thais renting mbikes (nor the Thai police) would not know either. I think that you would only have a problem if you had an accident and needed to claim from your home country insurance. BUT if you have no experience of mbike riding then forget it as Thailand's roads are VERY dangerous; Thailand is #2 in the World (probably #1 as only deaths at the scene of the accident r counted) for road accident fatalities and over 70% of these r for mbikes! So, 'EVERYONE', take care out there.

I mean generally: Visas r now issued online, 90 day reporting can be done online. More and more will be done online, as with everything. So not so many 'jobs for the boys'.

@Brandon ***********

No. Now that more and more is being transferred online they are desperately trying to find more unnecessary things to do make us do to justify their existence.

Has anyone tried downloading the PDF files for the Wise transfers as proof for immigration. They show that the money is coming from your home country account to your account in Thailand?

@Sid ******

Cheaper than paying in Thai Baht too.

@Stuart ********

Yes this was the routine for my 13 yrs in and out to vientianne and Savanakhek up until Covid, and now, with a retirement visa I dont need to go. I do miss those little excursions though.

@Gareth *******

Sure. My reply was posted to you in context but meant for the OP who should read all of this.

In the UK it is known as a 'faster payment'; FP; which is instant and free.
