ORIGINAL POSTER
hi good morning from bkk.

I have a question about filling in tm 7 n 8.

in tm 7 (application for extension), the blank 'Arrived by.....from....'

should I write my most recent trip coming back to bkk from other cities or my home city that I applied for my non immigrant oa visa but that was not my most recent trip?

Likewise, in tm 8 (application for re-entry visa), on pg 2, the blank ' i arrived in Thailand on....date...'

Should I write my most recent trip back to bkk or the date I left my home city after obtaining the visa?

Thanks for your time.

TLDR : Answer Summary
For filling out the TM 7 and TM 8 forms, you should always list your most recent arrival date to Thailand. This means that on TM 7, in the section 'Arrived by.....from....', you should write down the date of your most recent trip back to Bangkok. Similarly, on TM 8, in the blank 'I arrived in Thailand on....date...', you should provide the date of your latest entry stamp.

this comes up quite a bit

On BOTH of those forms you always list the most recent arrival date to thailand.

So what ever date your most recent entry stamp is dated is the date you use on them
