How does a new TM30 affect my 90-day check-in requirement in Thailand?

Vin *********

My question is, how does this affect my 90 day check-in timing?

It does not. 90 day check in is based on entry into Thailand.

Does the new TM30 reset the 90 day clock, or do I continue check in at the date specified by my last check-in notice under my old passport?

See answer above.

Should I fly to Laos to get a visa or go straight to Thailand for my medical procedure?

Vin *********

I don't have a clue why going to Laos is creating a different scenario....

Can I do my first-time 90-day reporting at the One Stop Service Center in One Bangkok with a Non-O Retirement visa?

@Ellie ******

9kay. Fair enough in Bangkok. But you still may not go to where the visa was done, as you stated, as it may have been done external to Thailand.

@Ellie ******

that is an extremely confusing way to say you must do the 90 day report in the area in which you either live, or had a TM30 done for you. I Have not had a visa, nor extension, done in Thailand. Your comment would mean nothing to my situation, and it sounds like, the OP's situation.

@Graeme *****

you cannot 'retire' in Thailand for "2 years". You cannot use funds in your old countries account/currency to get an extension for ANY non-immigrant visa; O or O-A.

O or OA have the same monetary requirements.

What are the requirements and limitations of the Non-Immigrant O-A visa for Thailand?

@Tod ********

if you were on the O A visa as he stated he wants, doing the 65k transfers, then he can get the O A extension based on the 12 previous months transfers into a Thai bank account. He does not have to go back to home country and start again. Or am I missing something?

@Tod ********

you do not have to bank the money. You can also extend on the 65k a year being transferred into a Thai bank IF you transferred 65k a month for the 11 months before you apply for the extension.
