which border crossing and when?

Anonymous participant 388 which border crossing?

Nobody can say for sure. I've had my TH bank for several years and recently got DTV. I had updated my information with them not long before applying, so they haven't had a reason to ask me for anything since, and I haven't gone to the branch to volunteer any info since. So, so far it still works. Advice is to not volunteer new info to them once on DTV and have a backup plan just in case. If you need to update them with a new passport number or phone number or anything, do it before you get the DTV.

If you have a bank acvount at home, I think Wise and Paypal offer a debit card. Grab takes cards, but sometimes it doesn't work or gets disabled. TrueMoney is a scan app that you can top up with cash or have a Thai friend top up with their bank. But TrueMoney is also not 100% reliable. Otherwise, cash and ATM. Keeping my fingers crossed that my TH bank from a few years ago doesn't close though. It's a lot more convenient.

Yes. Get a cancellation letter from the school and take it to immigration before you leave to apply for DTV.

@Horatio *******

your landlord does it, but you need to make sure to notify your landlord to do it if you leave and come back from somewhere. I usually just msg my landlord through line and let them know and then they send me a copy

CW ?

Yeah, well, like everything in Thailand. It depends on where you are and what officers you deal with. Nothing is consistent across the board ever. Just best to know what is required in your specific area and do what they tell you. Beyond that, not much else you can do. Personally, I'd rather just report it than not in case they decide to have a problem with it for some reason.

Pending approval means it's going to the next phase of someone checking your documents. If they check and then request more docs, then the status changes again until your documents are either accepted, rejected, or cancelled.

Anonymous participant 703 yes, it is a legal requirement that could incur a fine if not done. But it is very simple and free and the landlord can do it in minutes online. The landlord is also under legal obligation to do so.

It is literally just a notification to immigration that you are staying more than 90 days. If you're not, no report. Lease is inconsequential. The

T.M. 30 is different. T.M.30 reports where you are staying / living. That needs to be filed any time you move to a new apartment or leave the country and come back. Hotels will also usually file a t.m.30 if you take a triolp down to the TH beaches or somewhere too, so if you live in Chiang Mai you may need to notify your landlord to file a new one when you get back.
