Try the Currensea card. It is linked straight to your home bank account and thus avoids some of the charges. I have just got one but have not had the opportunity to try it yet.

it's not changing for anyone who complies with the rules of entry to Thailand.

Try the second bank account procedure first. You might be lucky. If not do as others say and leave the country.

@Andrew *******

that us good advice and what I unwittingly dud. They dud not ask to see my old bank book or the statements. Just looked at the new bank book and statements which met the criteria for extension.

@Richard *******

some offices,like mine, rewuire 3 months prior to application for extension.

@Tony *****

they don't want the wrong people coming which has been happening big time recently. If you want to stay in Thailand long term then get the right visa.

Plice Officers have asked me to pose with them for a photo quite a few times. Not sure why but I have always obliged. Someone jumped out of a pickup on soi 7, Sukhumvit and took several photos of me walking back to my room. That was a bit more worrying and he sped off pretty quick.

I always do a tm30 filing just prior to my 90 day report. This makes certain that my tm30 is up to date on the system and the addresses match on both. I get an email immediately verifying they have git my submission with the application form tm47 attached. In a few hours to a couple of days I receive confirmation my report has been accepted. Been like that for years.

As some have said you should do your first report after re entering the country in person.

@Jeremy *******

I had no idea you could earn that much selling moo ping. Is it a restricted occupation?

@Tim *****

my question is how do they know in which year income is earned? Simply remit income that was earned in a previous year. Last week they were talking about no tax in year income earned or the following year when remitted.
