@Oliver ******
your very welcome π I was also worried about the same issue as I'm travelling on the 20th and only got approval just before Xmas but I do intend to go straight to immigration the first morning I awake in Thailand with my Thai GF and a TM30 from the hotel so I can obtain a residence certificate for her address to obtain a phone contract and a bank account in UBON Ratchathani buddy, I've read that you're expected to report to immigration within 24 hours of arrival to sort out non-o requirementsso best to do sooner than later, I hope my GF can explain to the IO about me staying at her address as I only booked 4 nights so we're in the city early next day as we live about 40k from centre, Good Luck BTW π
