Thank you for the report. HNY.

@John *******

, outdated information.

@Terrence **********

, just be careful, not all cheap hotels or guest houses do TM30 correctly.

, most likely you wouldn't be fined unless the current TM30 receipt is expired (with past check-out) date. The rule is TM30 submission within 24 hours after arriving THAT address, not in Thailand. You can submit it again anytime you want/need to.

If you have a valid TM30 receipt already when you have any application at the immigration office, you would be fine. (unless you encounter any police-involved case)

@Lotta *****************

, the information released says 90-day report is required for Non-OX holders.

Actually, some provincial offices say every 90 days, some offices say once a year. You need to be careful on your own.

Your 90 days count is stop when you leave and restart when you enter Thailand again on arrival date as day 1. Your next 90-day report due under your situation is 90 days after your latest entry date.

You just go with your passport unless you got directions from the officer when you applied for an extension.

Yes, that is correct. It's a 90-day entry stamp on a visa waiver (not visa-exempt, it's based on a bilateral agreement) and it's not eligible for tourism extensions. You have until 23:59 on 5 January 2025 to leave Thailand.

Just FYI,

Overstay fine for 5 days is 2,500 baht.

Extension fee is 1,900 baht.

Q1. Do I need to prove that the funds came from on overseas source?

-> Funds for a 1-year extension don't require international transfer.

Q2. Is there a minimum balance required in my Thai bank account throughout the year?

-> No minimum balance throughout the year other than seasoning. Your balance can be even zero after you get an extension.

Q. As in, what if I temporarily go below 400k baht at some point during the year, so long as it isn’t within the 3 months before renewal; is this a problem?

-> It wouldn't be an issue. However, better to ask your office along with the application for an extension whether they want you to bring the updated passbook when you go back to the office after the under-consideration period.
