yes you do, if you stay within thailand for the full 180 days without leaving you need to file a TM.47 (90 day report)

@David *******

not just down to the administrators doing the paperwork, they have to get the directors to sign off on it too, hopefully it all plans out for you though 😊

@Kool ******

in order for them to do that though, both schools will need to work with each other and that in my experinece is extremely rare.

@David *******

no, it doesn't work like that. You're not on a visa you're on an extension (if you have 11 months left) and you can't transfer a visa or extension anyway... it needs to be cancelled, however if the two schools work together (it's rare they will agree to), you can get your new extension they same day you go cancel your current one after which you can go update your WP.

However if either school refuses to work with the other you will need to cancel your extension, WP and leave so the whole process can be started from scratch.

Also side note, if your current school or new school with not work with the other, make sure you do cancel your WP & Extension before leaving otherwise you will run into problems when getting your new extension and WP. When you have cancelled both you will need to leave the same day, however you can apply for a 30 day extension which will yet rejected but give you 7 days to leave instead of less than 24 hours.

@Poul *********

no problem 😊

@Poul *********

yes, scrutiny is increasing. However you're only spending 2-3 weeks twice a year here so it's unlikely you'll have issues when trying to enter as that can easily be seen as tourist behaviour as you're not coming 3, 4 times a year staying months on end and getting extensions everytime.

@Mike ******

if you have a bio chip passport. Both the Bio page and chip are just as important as each other. If the chip has corrupt data or cannot be read at all the passport is invalid because the chip cannot be cross checked with the bio page which could be a sign of tampering.

@Colin ********

first time i even came to Thailand I came from Cambodia Poipet border and I was grilled for 25mins, i was very fucking confused because I had never even been to Thailand in my life prior to that.

'God' help anyone brave enough to go through that border with multiple visa exemptions and extensions when they are like that with people who have zero history🤣

There is one exception to this rule though... If you go to Poipet Brain & Shelia will both tag team you with a massive 25" dildo in the backroom on your first attempt to enter on visa exempt

@Ross *********

most thais won't know unless they are renting properties to foreigners.

I've not come across a single landlord that doesn't know even out in the sticks when I lived in the arse end of nowhere in SaKaeo my landlord knew and the day after I signed my contract his wife turned up with the paper TM.30 and told me to go to immigration in Aran and give them it.
