, you do TM30 on 2 July at your condo no problem. Regardless the hotel submit your tm30 on 1 July or not.

All you need to provide regarding TM30 is the latest one (<- means with the check-in date later than any other of your TM30 records) with your address on the lease agreement.

Only the latest TM30 is valid. You don't need previous (or history of) TM30.

, read your "1 year based on retirement" stamp very well again.

@Paul *******

,yes until you move stamps to new passport IF you have valid extension and re-entry permit or visa on old passport

It does work, but only when you enter with both old and new passports. You show your re-entry permit on your old (invalidated) passport at the passport control at the entry point to Thailand, to get the correct entry stamp on your new passport.

Don't forget to transfer your stamps once you are back in Thailand.

90-day reporting window to submit in person at the local immigration office is from 15 days before the next due date until 7 days AFTER.

90-day reporting online window is from 15 days before the next due date until 7 days before.

, thanks, my mistake

You need to meet the requirements and you must be with a nationality that is not except from tourism extensions.

You can apply for a 30-day extension for tourism purposes on or before the last day on your entry stamp. 30 days will be added (top-up) to your stamp, so you won't lose any day when you apply for an extension in advance.

No need to wait until the last minute.

, OP wouldn't apply for METV at all. He will apply for Non-O retirement in his country before he flies to Thailand, and enters on Non-O to be stamped for 90 days. He is planning to apply for a 1-year extension at the end of the 90-day entry stamp.

After into about three months on his 1-year extension based on retirement, he gets a re-entry permit to fly back to his country while keeping his 1-year extension valid.
