Please can anyone help me

I went to pay my Internet bill electric bill and water bill in tesco also tried big C  and 7/11 all refused to allow me to pay without a Thai id. 

Don't the staff know aliens are not allowed to have a Thai id, they refused my passport and pictures of me in every room of the house. 

So how do I pay? 

And what's this nonsense about anyway

The richest country in Europe and he still wants to live in a poor country instead of back home? 

 

Why not apply for Elite visa then....instead of gaming the system.

 

Where's the richest country in europe

Stop burning plastic bags

Pity the uk didn't do the same 

Here we go mandatory health insurance again

I will get a re-entry visa a few days before I leave Thailand can anyone tell me how long it is valid for once I leave Thailand, I will leave Thailand a week after renewing my retirement extension will it still be valid 10 months later when I wish to return and re enter.

Oh OK 

I have noticed that before any new regulations being introduced to mandatory health insurance my emails and Web sites are bombarded with adverts selling heath insurance to Thai ex pats. 

It's started to happen again after a few months with nothing so I assume there will be new regulations coming soon

Umm, he has Thai son. Think he could get non o based on that. Think cut off age for dependent is 20?

However op might have problems with other aspects. Certainly could not obtain non o based on retirement due to financials.

He is in difficult spot I'm afraid.

When the son reaches 20 you can get a dependant visa/extension for the son to take care of You not sure how this works

If you happen to be the owner, housemaster or possessor of the place where you are going to stay, then you have to submit a TM30 for yourself within 24 hours after arriving at this place.

If you would arrive at your new place on Monday at 12 noon, then in theory you would have to submit a TM30 before Tuesday 12 noon. They don't track your arrival time, so if you just say you arrived Monday evening (they won't ask for it anyway), then you have Tuesday all day to submit the TM30

Thanks that's worth knowing hope the bus driver isn't related to the io officer and snitches on me

Thanks, I got it from a post in another TM30 thread, suggesting a shift in the time to report, and I thought, "great!", that's progress.

 

So there is no change to the 24-hour rule on TM30 reporting.

So if I check out of the hotel at 12 noon on Monday I have to file a tm 30 by 12 noon on Tuesday correct? 

Hope the bus font break down on the way home

This picture is about TM27, TM28 and TM47, not about TM30, it's partially wrong and TM27 / TM28 are not enforced anyway.

Oh my god not more tm's

Might be a good idea to ask but bit the thing is it could change the next day or could get different answers from different io officers. 

Would there be a problem if I filed the tm 30 and it wasn't a requirement on that day with that particular io officer. 

Might be best to do anyway might make a nice day out

I'm going to another province will stay Friday Saturday and Sunday in a hotel. 

I will return on Monday afternoon to my usual address do I have to file a tm 30 on the Monday afternoon 

Or can it wait until Tuesday

They wouldn’t know you had been too Pattaya or Samui, if you had left Thailand there would have been an entry and exit stamp in your Passport.

If you stayed in a hotel and had to show your passport they would know

I was going to go to bkk for a couple of days but it is too much of a pain for me and the landlord. Weekend trips are going to be few and far between

Which province are you in do they enforce it just for 2 days 

Does all this mean that I can't book a flight using my nationwide debit card anymore

You could threaten to report him to the inland revenue 

Might not get your problem sorted but it a good way of getting even make him p... s his pants a bit

Well, this is the big question. How far will each IO push the letter of the law as it stands? We are told by some IOs that it is only necessary to do a TM30 once for a particular address, others say every time you return to the Kingdom from overseas, others again that you must do one every time you stay away from your registered address. A wonderful ambiguity that allows for change at any time resulting in yet more fines.

If I got fined would it be at my 90 day report

Or when I next apply for renewing my extension

If I stay in a hotel in another province away from where I registered my tm30 on return some io require a new tm 30 some dont

If I don't do a new tm30 and it's picked up by the io will this be when I do my 90 day report or when I renew my extension of stay

To my knowledge, in general you need to register, or re-register, if you have been travelling abroad.

 

Best is to ask your local immigration office, as the individual offices might have slightly different rules.

That you can guarantee

Anywhere you stay overnight someone is responsible to report that stay within 24 hours of your arrival.

If the forigner arrives at midnight and stays for 4 hours

Is that considered overnight

Or 3 hours or 5 or 6 hours

How about if the forigner stays for 3 hours goes out for an hour  and returns for another 3 hours 

How long can a forigner stay at a Thai persons home before the home owner has to file a tm 30

I heard over 24 hours if it's less how long

Does it make any difference if its at night or in the day time

Hi can anyone tell me if immigration keep previous addresses and details of of where I lived in Thailand before. 

It's not really about Thailand I just need proof of places I stayed in Thailand for reasons in my home country 

Thai women still prefer a Thai man above faran, most normal thai women wouldn't been seen dead with a farang
