I see these threads with often conflicting information regarding TM30 requirements for a specific office like Jomtien.

People on long stay visas are not all equal. Some live in a condo registered in their name. Others live in a residence registered to their spouse or sweetheart. Some have a yellow Thabian Bahn. Then there are those that registered TM30 based on a 1 year lease or month to month agreement and others a TM30 from a guest house or visa agent and so on.

That rule change a couple of years ago didn't really take into consideration all the different scenarios so I can see why some "rogue" immigration offices would require at least some people to resubmit their TM30s.

 

I would like to see all the sorry souls that are running around and checking all the online TM30s there must be millions and millions of them.

Gawd, I'd love to have your Juristic management running our condominium. 

 

It's like a hotel, all Airbnb. 

Private message me I'm more than happy to send her your way. Hopefully she'll be gone coming up to the end of her 2 year term.

You have to remember the jurisdict person works for me she works for all the co-owners in the building so I guess the only way to get to the bottom of these matters is attend the meeting and find out exactly what they're requiring from the co-owners

Our condo juristic person  wants copies of my lease contracts and the TM30 for the tenants  in my condo that I owen, is this correct. She also told the property agent if she doesn't receive them by the next morning she's going to change the codes to the building for entrance.

So let's understand this this thread.

You are asking on behalf of a "friend" regarding TM30 requirement in particular when the friend has used agent to obtain an extension from immigration office in province the friend does not live.

 

Contact the owner of the condo and get one from them

I registered my TM30 five years ago and never bothered to register again because I always come to the same address, at least officially. Last March, I wanted to get a MC license and was informed my TM30 was not up-to-date. I paid 500 baht to an agent and got it up-to-date. 

I have one question for you how would an agent know that your TM30 is up to date or not they don't have access to the landlord's online site? So again somebody's making a big trick over you.

When i did i short international trip last year i had to do a TM30 at Jomtien upon return. No big deal unless you are stupid enough to use an agent then sure they will charge you for the service.

Jomethien is the only office that I have seen depending you do one before you enter the building. 

Depends what immigration office you're dealing with if you're dealing with pattaya  then you need to have one but I'm sure if you're going back to the same address there's no need to do it. It takes the condo owner literally 30 seconds to do one online so I don't understand why they're charging any money or any fee to do it it's the responsibility of the landlord not your responsibility. To summit one online .

Trust me they had loads of unknown addresses on their books during COVID they didn't smart smarten up their act until 2022

Sensei lost their Dutch owner and the Dutch owner sold booking.com to a different company they were s*** and they finally got their act together only two or two years ago

They won't ever do that. During COVID times they were all offering rooms in hotels that had closed down months ago. I asked them why they don't contact each property confirming that they're actually still in business and they said they won't do that. It's trying to get away with the least amount of involvement.

Trust me they had loads of unknown addresses on their books during COVID they didn't smart smarten up their act until 2022

as regards human life or death... a couple of degrees can make the difference.. the effect of excess heat for humans is non-linear - go the extra bit and you are not just hotter.. you are dead..

It's already been 44 for the last 3 days tomorrow should hit 45

Stop moaning go to Central and lay by the toilet in the hallway and enjoy the free air conditioning

Expected this already been 44 here for the last couple of days. That 112F for you American.

Saw this thread Just my 10c's worth and I'll make a start on my scooter tales here

 

Until 2008 when living in Phuket I had long-term rentals, then got told of this Yamaha Fino 115cc being sold, Swedish man had bought it for his daughter while she holidayed here, and had been used only 4 months, 3800km, then stored. New battery, and removed a big screen and extra driving lights he'd added.

 

Bought it for 30,000 baht. 2009 had it shipped to Sa Kaeo with Thai Post, lived there a year, many dirt and gravel roads, longest ride was 380km in a day (with pillion!). Moved 200km south to Chanthaburi, sold it in 2013 at 54,000km to a friend who still had it at 94,000km before selling.

 

August 2013 bought another Fino, new 45,000 baht.

Now 96,800km and as per picture, well looked after, has had every scheduled oil change and maintenance at Yamaha dealer, no accidents.

At that age and mileage has no resale we'll keep it until it stops, daughter now uses it six days a week to/from work until starting uni in June.

Biggest single repair expense has been a new fuel pump 2500 baht in November.

 

December 2023 bought the Honda Click 160 ABS. 69,900 baht and so far 3200km.

Three weeks ago we did a 180km highway ride, all ok.

Considered an ADV 160 but my wife and daughter found it too big to manage.

 

Scooter life is great. Before moving here I'd always had bigger bikes, all the Japanese brands, two Harleys, a Cagiva and two new Triumphs.  Now an auto scooter! Such is life...

 

As well as Honda and Yamaha dealers there's also Lambretta and Vespa dealers in the city, Vespas are very popular with the better-off uni students and I see the dealer organises monthly group rides around the province for 150 and 300cc owners.

 

Happy riding.

Automatic transmissions don't last as long as a manual during rainy season when you go through the cold water with a hot engine the seals break on them.

Are you allowed to take off solo for some R&R? Just thinking some of the Isaan dwellers might need some alone time now and again. You know a break from the ball and chain.

Just don't get caught and watch your line app. Don't sleep with a village neighbours cousin.

Mine was 3000 bht less than last year.

Go now and stand and sathon and show them this and see what they charge you.

Not believing a word of it.  And, no, this was not a 'huge hotel scam'.  Hold the hype.

Booking.com has a huge check on properties they have to physical video the rooms and address out buildings.

Patong , Pattaya Rayong all class places !!! 

Booking.com had huge problems with non-existent properties I thought they cleaned up their act but obviously not

For sure the motorcyclist was on his phone surely he had plenty of time to at least slow down instead of hitting that car full speed front on on impact.

Seem to remember reading that a metal roof painted in a light colour is cooler than a tiled roof? Don't know anyone with a metal roof that isn't rust coloured so can't test. However, I know how hot our tiled roof is. Unbearably.

The PVC roof panels need to have insulation. Cement and ceramic tiles roof tiles are extremely hot I have them on my gym and I cannot even walk in there when it's 30 Celsius.

Nice looking horse

Thank you it was a nice gift

The return on pension state pension is shocking considering the amount of national insurance that you pay towards it. Take into account if you miss one month or one week out of the 12 month stretch you cannot claim pension for that year of your work. The UK pension system is the worst in the world. At least it's the worst in the G8
