Siggi Tirak thats a little unbelievable, however, there will be people doing more 12 visit a year, these are exceptions not a general rule, like people working offshore and using Thailand as a home base. It remains to be seen how immigration handle these cases.

if your a genuine tourist, there is no limit, but practise no one does 12 visits a year.

If you extend your trips with extension and border runs your quite quickly get the attention of immigration.

In there eyes someone who has a return ticket to their home country, accommodation booked and 20kthb is what their looking for. But ultimately, the immigration officer will decide.

TurquoiseSloth1841 probably worth making sure you have your return ticket to your home country, copy of your accommodation, and 20kthb cash, and a good story about your tourists plans.

There is no such rule, immigration will be looking at your travel history to assess if your trying to stay in Thailand by maximising your visa exemptions, or a genuine tourist.

You buy a 90 day non o visa outside of Thailand, you then have 90 days when you enter Thailand to open the bank account

Its a Non O visa which is a 90 day visa, you then extend it for 12 months in Thailand.

During that time you season yiur funds in your Thai bank.

As regards the lease each immigration office has different requirements check with your local office.

The TM30 is different office to office, some require you update them when travelling in Thailand. Some only if you leave Thailand some none at all once registered.
