For those moving to Thailand, it is important to understand the various immigration procedures. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is filled out online 3 days before arrival and provides immigration information, but it does not replace a visa or extend a stay. The TM.30 notification is a residence notification, which is usually submitted by the property owner within 24 hours. The 90-day reporting is a regular address notification that does not extend the length of stay. To extend a retirement visa, at least 800,000 baht is required in a Thai bank account for at least 2 months prior to application. 2026-10-16
