wrong, did you read the op? 800,000 has nothing to do with it for the income method. You are talking about the money in the bank method. In fact most people do the income method precisely to avoid the 800,000

@Neil *******

absolutely

@Roberto ********

ok

How much time do you have between flights? If it is less than an hour immigration cannot happen.

it is requested but I'm not sure that is what they were getting at. I think they just wanted to see what version of the TM30 I have. They asked for my passport to see it. My passport was inside getting an extension. They pointed to a TM30 taped to the wall and asked if I had "that kind of TM30". No idea what is different.

Phuket is different especially if you are Russian 55. About October Jomtien started asking for new TM30 for unknown reasons.

@Brandon ***********

I understand. They asked to see my current and new TM30 and was told that one is ok. That leads me to think there are new and old TM30s. So I guess it is possible that TM30s older than a certain date need a new one.

I assume the people getting fined were doing an extension. My new extension is happening now, just before I travel. So I guess I will find out at 90 day time, 1 month after travel.

even if you have the app, download the apk, you cannot use it unless you have a Thai ID, not DL.

Many people in the US also have to do a W9

2900 for a lifetime and no freguent renewals with payments and no border runs every three years. It is a bargain.
