@Paul ******

that's interesting. CW use to tell everyone that they only needed to update TM30 when returning from traveling out of country.

Thank you. Closing commenting.

@Robert ******

thank you. So the registration form can still be submitted without the dr#?

You are in BK... So, yes to #1 and re: #2 your new report date will be 90 days from the date you return

I would suggest you first apply for a 30 day extension of stay to give yourself more time to get through the process of a 90 day non O.

This is troubling. Given the value of this group is unincumbered advise independent from the self-serving agents that look to push people into that direction. The group rules included no mention of agents or agencies.

p. s., I'm in Bangkok and did everything at TT/CW

I did exactly that (using the banked funds method deposited on 17 Oct.) arriving in THA 30 Oct with a 30 day visa exempt stamp and a subsequent 30 day extension of stay. If you funded your account using a single bank to bank wire (vs. multiple Wise transfers), you will have an easier go. I would also advise using your first 30 days getting your permanent address nailed down and getting your TM30 buttoned up. Good luck.

Equal to $625 USD. If you don't have that in your back pocket you probably are not ready to leave your home country for anywhere overseas

My understanding is you can not hold 2 long stay visas simultaneously (non O/A, B, ED, etc.) in the same passport. I do know that if your using 1 passport, you would need to cancel one visa to have the other affixed. Elite will not allow affixure of the Elite visa if you do not cancel the non B first (which can be done in country). I don't know what you would do to cancel an Elite visa in country to get a non B affixed.
