    Partly correct. Your re-entry permit protects your original permission to stay so if you are returning to the same address a new TM30 is not required, but when re-entering using a multi-entry visa you get a new permission of stay. When you leave Thailand your current permission of stay is cancelled (unless you have a re-entry permit) so your next entry, even if you have used the visa before, is a new permission of stay and a TM30 will need to be registered. Using the same visa for entry is not the same as using your re-entry permit.

    This is exactly what the immi officer told me.

    OP, as others have stated she has no issue.

    Be aware that with Jetstar sometimes you need to request a senior staff member if there is an issue at check in.

    The 6 month rule even for non Thai does not apply for Thailand. 

    It's an airline thing. 

    In any event she is Thai.  No problem.

     

    BTW my thai gf had to renew her pp recently. 

    She went to the office that deals with that here in Bangkok.  

    The new pp arrived NEXT day ems ...I kid you not. 

    The six month rule does not apply to Thailand ?

    No offense but if you want to make an immigration officer really angry prove that he is wrong. 

    Perhaps have a friendly chat with his boss without accusing anyone.

    Just a suggestion. 

    Yes... I agree with what your saying. It is better not to make trouble. I will just submit a tm.30 in person for now on everytime .....   it doesn't take up much time.

  4. I have an one-year multiple entry Non-O (marriage). After reading here on Asiannow I thought I did not  have to update a tm.30 each time I cross the border every 90 days as long as I am at the same residence.

    I went to immigration today and they told me I MUST do a new tm.30 every time., That they have no record of a tm.30 in their database, they said it's a new visa every time I enter for 90 days. I disagreed saying it's the same visa.   Do I not understand how this works?   

    So the wife had to pay the 800. baht fine.    Maesot immigration

    You use the address you want your old & new passports mailed to. Thai Post will send this envelope to the US Embassy, which will be used to mail to you.

     

    Some say, in those threads, I think, that you can buy this "package" at a Thai Post office. Thai Post will mail it to the embassy, but provide you with a receipt which you need to include in your mailer to the Embassy.

     

     

     

     

     

    Thank you

    The U.S. Department of State has received your application for your passport book on 10/24/2023. We're now reviewing your application and supporting documents.

    You requested routine service when you applied. Routine service can take 8-11 weeks. Our processing times begin the day we receive your application at a passport agency or center, not the day you mail your application or apply at a local acceptance facility.

    Provincial variations. I've been dealing with Chanthaburi Immigration since 2011, last week asked for another residence certificate and a very clear 'No we cannot issue them any more'.

     

    An affidavit of residence is new required from the embassy in Bangkok. 

     

    Such is life. I'll get two - 

     

    Friday I went to the local Bangkok Bank branch with view to finally opening an account here as the one I have is from another province. Another 'cannot do' without an embassy letter. 

     

    If your from the  USA the embassy (consulates) have stopped issuing these letters.

    Still the church is the richest state in the world.. 

    An what to they do if you are on a low income and in need, demanding the church tax from your wages.

    What do they do if you are in need and wanna borrow a couple of quit? <deleted> ALL they do for you.. 

     

    As I stepped out it was one of the best decisions I made in my life, and as the pastor asked why, I just told him

    Real belive shouldn't cost money, so why I have to be enforced to pay 8% of my wages into a brick building with uncomfortable wooden benches, a bell and an organ? 

     

    He wanted even christinanize my Thai wife, otherwise we would not be married under the umbrella of the church...

     

    Crazy event after I left the church...

    Only 2 week it took and the Jehovas were in my door and told me that the decision to leave the catholic church was the best I made.

    All religions including Christians, Buddhists and Muslims are murders and liers.. 

     

    I grabbed his throat and asked him how he found out that I left the katholic church and why he was not aware that he was standing face to face with a murdering buddhist who just grabs his throat.. 

     

    I am now on my farm, the sky above me, trees and animals around me...

    I guess I must have found heaven and enjoy it until I am going in a wat through the chimney..

    To the topic..

    If the gospel and sould music is played open air and in free public places, I would stop by groove and listen.

    If a basket would be handed around, I would certainly give a donation for the performers..  

    But even in such musical events the German catholic church charged 45 EUR (!!) entry fee...  

    I want to read the rest of your story
