No. We arrived at Airbnb on Sunday. She reported on Tuesday I think. But I guess since she had our entry card from Friday, it looked like she was late. Even though she was not responsible for us til Sunday. What I'm saying is, shouldn't immigration have been able to look on the database and see a hotel had reported on Friday? I think it was Airbnb ladys first time doing this. Hence maybe why she didnt question the fine.
Wierd is... arrived Friday. We had 2 nights in a hotel. Friday and Saturday. Hotel reported to immigration. Moved in to Airbnb on sunday. I told Airbnb landlady I needed tm30 for long term. She registered us. In person From Sunday. But cos we arrived in Thailand on Friday. She got fined. No joined up thinking. Are the tm30s going on a database that can be searched and linked somehow? Or disappearing into the ether?
Post off to embassy as soon as you have submitted online and printed barcode. Remember to include £10 cash for them to return it to you. We got ours in 4 days
And the DBS is a new addition to the website. When I started getting my docs together, only ACRO police check was valid. Last month or so it also says DBS.
Did you speak to someone at the embassy after the email? I got an email about income. I rang and talked her through the monthly income in one account and lump sum in another. Meeting the requirements. She agreed it over the phone. My online status changed almost immediately.
we started collating docs months ago and we sent 3 months. But instructions on London embassy website have been edited. It says one month. But I think that may be for

lump sum and not the earnings evidence. Its ambiguous
