@Wayne ******
May be what you have to do then. Many ppl are having trouble with the 90 day reporting at the moment. I've always use the online reporting in the past but got that same msg this time.

@Wayne ******
It should be information you recorded on your TM6. But I don't think it's a mandatory field anyway, so you can just leave it blank.

You do get interest on your savings and the Bank even deduct withholding tax unless you have registered for Thai tax. But I agree with
@Martin ********
that with the current low rates it's hardly noticeable.

Fixed deposits are allowed as long as it is a type where your money is not locked in (i.e. available on demand ). I have a normal savings account with the Bangkok Bank and another 12 month fixed account with the THB800K that I don't touch.

Which coincidentally happens to be the first day of my insurance. 🤞

Not in my case. Nothing written and the stamp only has the generic information. Regardless the end date must be aligned to the insurance coverage because the full year would have ended on the 5th November 2021 (extra 3 days).

Maybe it's just Chiang Mai. Got to say that everytime I've dealt with them they've been helpful and more than reasonable. But with the new covid style counters you don't really get much chance to discuss things with the IO, so can't say.

Not in Chiang Mai. I just applied for my extension of stay based on a O-A (retirement) visa. First time I've had the insurance and it doesn't kick in until 1st November 2020. They approved the extension until 1st November 2021.

I just renewed at Chiang Mai Immigration and it was stamped to the last day of my insurance. There wasn't much in it but it was definitely based on the last day of my insurance.

That's the way I always understood things. But I recently changed my address in Chiang Mai moving to the other side of town. The TM30 was submitted by the owner and I got a copy.

I lodged my 90 day 'online' as usual and it was accepted with my new address on the return pending notification. A day later it was approved. So maybe not all immigration offices make you lodge the first report in person anymore?
