I’m stating that if you haven’t changed address and have your tenancy agreement if necessary, there will not be an issue. If you have changed address, again you’d better have the documents to prove that you complied with the requirements. I’ve seen them call landlords etc, berating them. 
But of course everyone is welcome to run to the Immigration office immediately or to file a TM.30 online for their peace of mind. 
Only it might be somewhat difficult for them to obtain the required documents from their ‘landlord’ in order to file a TM.30 online on their own 🙄

You are wrong in denying that there could be an issue if you try and 'do business' at Jomtien and your TM30 receipt is not 'current'.

I am certainly not suggesting that people run to Jomtien and submit new TM30's - although many have (do it online anyway). BUT, be aware of their requirement to file again if you are not current - they will not do 90 day reports, certificates of residency, extensions or re-entry permits if you are deemed to be 'out of date'.

"Separately, expats are again reminded they should not ignore the separate bureaucracy of the TM30 form which confirms local address after returning to Thailand from abroad by land or sea. Expats will need to show an updated TM30 receipt (i.e. issued since the last entry to Thailand)"

Thank you for posting that.

Has the Pattaya Mail article been reinstated?  Previous links came up with a 404 message - I see this one is dated 28th October.

Nice in theory. The reality is different (though it does depend a bit on the immigration office).

 

Most often, if you are renting, the officials do not want to go to the trouble of chasing your landlord. Instead, they will state that you are the "possessor", and it is your responsibility to ensure that the TM30 notification is done.

....and, unsurpriingly, it will be the renter who they will hit with any charges, not the owner.

There is no fee - unless you process via an agent, who will likely take 500 Baht.

I have lived here in Thailand for 18 years. I have never felt disliked, uncomfortable, unsafe, or any other negative vibe from Thai people.

I have been helped many times by Thai people from kindness, generosity, helpfulness, politeness and I think this post is offensive, deliberately aimed at degrading Thai people and I certainly have no wish to participate in the vulgar manner in which the choices are set out. 

I have noticed the OP on this forum on a number of occasions recently and find nothing pleasant contained in many of his other posts either.

If someone is so anti-Thai people, then why, for heaven's sake, or you still here in this delightful country?

Maybe try learning some Thai language, smiling at Thai people, dragging yourself of the bar stool, smarten yourself up, learn something about your host country and their customs and lay off of them.

Another reason why I try to avoid conversations with foreigners such as myself. This biased and vindictive survey is worthless.

Yours is a myopic view but it at least balances out the OP\s trolling post.

Certainly no cause for alarm with one day 'slippage'. I can't see that there was a USA bank holiday that might have caused a delay with the Citibank processing.

If not received by tomorrow, that is the time to start thinking about a Life Certificate having been sent and not received.

As I get older they all become very young!

I agree with you about the OP and Thailand is not a 'swap shop' - that said there is no is no easier place than Thailand in which to adopt that attitude.

I simply took odds with the assumption that " you go for the youngest, sexiest you can find" ........ for a short-term holiday that can, of course, be an objective; but, as somebody once told me - there is more to life than sex and even in the P4P scene you want to engage with someone with a bit of character or personality. The bimbo type rarely fulfils that criteria and they invariably love themselves too much.

What happens if I stay at a hotel for a few days and they lodge a new TM30 with my passport at check-in? Do I need to get the landlord at my current long term rental to do another TM30 each time I stay at a hotel and return.

 

I hope not. I don't think they will keep sending TM30's each time I'm out of town.

NO !!

That old returning from out of the province nonsense was chopped ages ago.

The Pattaya Mail report is suggesting that (at Jomtien) you now need a 'current TM30' dated after your last entry into THAILAND if you wish to do 'any business with Immigration'.

I worked at a factory here for over 20 years, and the Thais seemed to live pretty nice lives. 

 

To westerners whose lives are focused on having crap, and not on family and whatnot it's hard to believe, I know. 

 

 

When you have bugger all you don't want for too much.

The ability to survive and, as you say, live pretty nice lives is a Thai skill.

There's a difference between surviving and living a life without money worries. But as you seem to think that Thais should just accept their lot and not try and better themselves and their families you should try living on B300 per day.

What a ridiculous comment to make to a westerner.

Of course many Thais can live on 300 Baht a day  -  and less.

Equally, there are many Thais who earn a lot more than that.

just asked google this question and got this :-

 

Once you re-enter Thailand using your re-entry stamp, you do not need to visit your Jomtien immigration office to re-register. Your re-entry stamp will allow you to stay in Thailand for the same amount of time as your original visa, or up to 60 days, whichever is less.

If you are staying in Jomtien for less than 30 days, you do not need to register with immigration at all. However, if you are staying for longer than 30 days, you must register with your local immigration office within 24 hours of your arrival.

Procedures for registering with immigration:

1. Visit your local immigration office.
2. Bring your passport, re-entry stamp, and a copy of your arrival/departure card (TM.6).
3. Fill out a TM.30 form.
4. Pay the registration fee (400 baht).
5. Submit your documents to an immigration officer.
6. You will be given a TM.7 slip, which is your proof of registration.

You must keep your TM.7 slip with you at all times while you are in Thailand. If you lose it, you can apply for a replacement at your local immigration office.

If you are staying in Jomtien for longer than 90 days, you will need to apply for a visa extension at your local immigration office before your visa expires.

Please note that these are the general procedures for registering with immigration and applying for a visa extension. There may be additional requirements depending on your nationality and type of visa. It is always best to check with the Thai embassy or consulate in your home country before you travel.

A TM 7 is an application for extension of temporary stay in Thailand.

Now you are really muddying your own waters. 🙂

Your return from Cambodia is really quite simple (mainly).

Your question was about whether there was a need to visit Jomtien Immigration on return to "re-register".

The basis for this question comes from the Pattaya Mail report that you had to have a TM30 receipt dated AFTER your last entry into Thailand, if you want to do 'any business with Immigration'. Previously, as other posters have correctly pointed out you didn't have to do anything regarding TM30 if you returning to the same address; confusion rains now after that Pattaya Mail report. You will have noticed that same confusion on the I Love Bang Saray FB page (if you are a member there).

I spoke to the Thai manager of the resort where I stay and he submitted a new TM30 for me. He suggested that was not enough; Immigration told him that residents then need to take a copy of that submission to the Jomtien office to get the proper Immigration receipt. Again, I simply pass that on because it was exactly what he was told.

I think that you can do little else than call in on soi 5 on your return and get it from the horses mouth.

Do you not read the forum.

Do your homework in the  Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits section.

I have no idea if what was announced is actually happened - just mentioning it in the interests of awareness.

Yes. Clicked on browse then selected my passport - then selected rental agreement pages.
