You might get a better answer by starting your own post with the exact issue of address and the TM30 in your case. Folk will look at this post and may not see your question. Good luck

there are no details in the image other than my name. Had you not noticed I've erased the sensitive details??

sounds epic! Fair winds and following seas. BZ

Do they not state how much you should have before applying like they do with other visa applications?

I have a very well known rental agent I've been chatting with for a while now, so I'm alright there. Cheers

It won't apply to me as I intend to have a years lease within a couple of days arriving, and use that. But for others, maybe....

You can fly (limited baggage, one carry on, only small planes like air asia fly between the two, we had four large suitcase for a month stay) train, penang to hat yai, large luggage on a train is no fun and border crossing with luggage can be tiring as you have to change trains at the border, hire a driver, which is what I did.

He does it regularly and knows his stuff. He picked me up at my door, drove the three hours 30 mins to hat yai, helped and guided me across the border, dropped me right outside my rental apartment. He charged 600MYR each way. He stopped on the way so I could buy duty free things if I wanted to, I didn't, just took a pee break.

Him chatting to the border people was certainly making things easier... no questions asked, no bags searched. At the border for thailand I simply showed my booking dot com apartment to immigration and they stamped me in.

It was not a mini van full of people, just me and my friend in a 6 seater. Perfect.

We were carrying quite a bit of luggage for two people for a month stay so the train journey would have been horrible.

I found the driver in FB, he is very good, if you need his details let me know. He is 100% legal and very knowledgeable.

Thanks for that. The only agent I am using is to rent an apartment, a real estate agent. I have no desire to use a visa agent but I do see the need for them.. I can do this... with a little help
