This is the email that I received from immigration the last time I tried to do an online report after returning to Thailand. Note that I submitted online 5 times and got the same response each time. Does that help?

. Perhaps you could go and check into a cheap hotel for a day, get a copy of the TM30 from the hotel and use that to do your 90 day report?

I have noticed that with BKK Bank if you transfer a Baht amount from overseas it codes as Bahtnet but if you transfer a specified amount of foreign currency it codes as Foreign TT. FYI

That’s what I did. I made an appointment 30 days before the due date then submitted online 5 times from 15 days before the due date each of which was rejected then used the appointment that I had previously booked to submit in person. If you have an appointment waiting time is just minutes in my experience so minimal time wasted.

@Tod ********

Exactly. I submitted my report online 5 times and got the same response every time so my wife did it for me using an appointment that I had made as a plan B a month earlier.

When they first introduced it they allowed people to complete it on arrival but I think later on they required it to be completed prior to travel. When I traveled last May they just recommended to print it out to speed up processing but as long as it had been submitted and you were in the system all good. Showing the QR code on your phone was another option. I think the Thailand DAC will be an improvement over the old paper TM6 because I have had problems with losing it in the past. Anyway time will tell.

I don’t know about Thailand because it’s new but you have to print out the Malaysia MDAC and hand it to the IO with your passport on arrival so it could be similar.

@Robert ******

Fair enough I wasn’t suggesting that they won’t get a visit just relaying my experience and that of others who have applied at CW. Of course the IO at any office has the right to visit if they want to.

@Robert ******

I think the house visit requirement is office specific. I submitted my application at CW and didn’t get a house visit before the UC period ended and others report the same. However I see that people who apply at other offices outside of Bangkok do sometimes get visited at home. The OP didn’t mention where he applied.

mentioned you can’t do an annual extension after your elite visa is expired you have to buy a new package which can be 5,10 or 20 years the last time I checked. There is no limit to the number of times that you can renew your package.
