Immigration are giving you BS. As confirmed by others, you can complete the TM30 online or by hand, sign it, your name, as the tenant. I've done this 3 times, once in person, twice online, no mention of the landlord/owner's name for the two online TM30's. This is the email I received last time I registered to file a TM30.

If the landlord won't comply by providing copies of his TB and ID card, then move house. Inform Immigration, if they state it's a Thais responsibility, then they can't fine you. The one time I've known a landlord reluctant to comply, when advised, Immigration phoned the landlord, and he soon complied.

What rule changes? The new TM30 regs only changed 'when' a TM30 should be filed, not by whom! First registered and filed 11 years ago as the tenant/possessor.

Firstly, in case of a guest house or hotel, it clearly is the responsibility of the 'manager' to file the TM30. In a hotel, you're a guest, not a tenant, only renting a room, rather than the whole residence. For a private residential address, it can be the owner, landlord, or the tenant as the possessor of the residence. If the foreigner cannot register and submit the TM30; 1. Then why does the TM30 registration form have the option to register as the 'foreigner' or a 'Thai'? 2. Then why does the drop-down box have the option of registering as the tenant/possessor? I've dealt with two different Immigration offices and had 3 different residences, always registering and filing as the foreigner. 1st residence, a rental - uploaded copy of passport data page, owners Tabien Baan and ID card. 2nd residence, a rental - uploaded copy of passport, copy of yellow house book and pink Thai ID card. 3rd residence, married wife's home - uploaded copy of passport, copy of yellow house book and pink Thai ID card.

Overstay since 27th May. Depends on Immigration, after paying an overstay fine, will allow him to apply for a new 1-year extension, or insist he obtain a new Non O. He'll have to exit and obtain that from a Thai Embassy/Consulate.

Incorrect, covered many times on this forum, and I'd surmise you read incorrect information on a commercial website. The law on the person(s) responsible to file a TM30 is contained in the Immigration Act. Section 38 : The housemaster, the owner or the possessor of the residence , or the hotel manager where the alien , receiving permission to stay temporary in the Kingdom has stayed , must notify the competent official of the Immigration Office located in the same area with that hours , dwelling place or hotel, within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the alien concerned. Section 4: defines a house-master as; Housemaster ” means any persons who is the chief possessor of a house , whether in the capacity of owner , tenant , or in any other capacity whatsoever , in accordance with the law on people act. If the issue is that the landlord/owner is refusing to give you copies of the house book and their ID, preventing you from filing, then you should inform Immigration and let them deal with the landlord.

Sounds as though the hospital didn't advise of the expiry date of your stay, hence Immigration are confused. According to the TM30 regulations. 2.2 After a householder, owner or possessor of dwelling place or hotel manager already made a notification according to 2.1, then the alien goes to occasionally stay somewhere else and return to stay at the original place within the notified period of stay that has not yet ended, such householder, owner or possessor of dwelling place or hotel manager is not required to make a notification again.

Regardless of Immigration incorrectly date stamping his extension of stay beyond the expiry date of his passport, it's your responsibility to check the date stamps. He's been on overstay since 27th May.

You do not have an active visa, it expired years ago. You extend your period of stay and stamped .............. permitted to stay until 20th July. If your passport has already expired, Immigration made an error dating the stamp. You need to immediately obtain a new passport. Technically, you're on overstay due to Immigrations error with the date stamp, which should have been dated with the same date as your passport expiry, 27th May.

You could have applied for the Non O based on Thai spouse at Immigration, with proof for 400K THB in a Thai bank account in your sole name. Procedure here: VE-TV to Non O Spouse.pdf The 400K is only required to be in the bank on the date of submission. You will be granted a stay of a further 90 days. The 400K THB needs to be seasoned in the bank for 2 months for the 1-year extension of stay.

Not according to the new TM30 regulations. TM30 Reporting Regulation.pdf

It's the Immigration desk official classed as competent that issues and collects the fines, in essence. They are also authorised to give receipts.

As pointed out previously, this visa is aimed at different groups, not long stay retirees or married to a Thai on 1-year extensions of stay.

Nor mine! For 9,500 baht over 5 years, I'm guaranteed to be able to stay for 365 days each and every one of those 5 years.

I think you'll find all Immigration officials are authorised as 'representatives' of the Immigrations Divisional Commander to issue penalties.

According to the Immigration Act, the penalty for non-compliance with section 37(5) is listed in section 76. Section 76 : Any alien, alien, who fails to comply with the provisions of Section 37(2),(3),(4)or(5) shall be punished with a fine not exceeding 5,000 Baht and with and additional fine not exceeding 200 Baht for each day which passes until the law is complied with.

Multi entry Non Imm O visa, grants a stay of 90 days on entry. The permission of stay can be extended by 60 days to visit Thai spouse/family. Border hop after 150 days for a new 90-day entry.

They can get away with it as long as good folk do nothing about it. Anti-corrupt commission, 1205. Immigration advice line 1178.

By the letter of law, he's entitled to one more VE entry by land, and unlimited entries by air. There is his problem. An Immigration official can deny entry if he feels you're spending too long in Thailand without the correct visa type. That is the best advice.

Confused, did you attend in person or was it an agent. Once you file a TM30 registering your residential address, there shouldn't be a problem requesting a certificate of residence as proof of your address. I entered on a single entry Non O, filed a TM30 the following morning, then when they issued the receipt, I requested 3 certificates of residence, one to purchase a motorcycle, one to obtain a Thai driving licence and the third to open a bank account. Your Non Imm O ME may only permit stays of 90 days (same as a Non Imm O SE) but it's valid for 1 year. You have Non Immigrant status and not a Tourist. I'd be taking the issue up with the senior IO at Nonthaburi.

Assuming he arrived by air for his first entry, and he's already done a border run for a second entry + 60 day extensions. He's allowed to do one more land border crossing this year as @Tod Daniels stated + 60 day extension. He can apply for the Non O at Immigration. 400K in a Thai bank account. At least 15 days permission of stay remaining (dependent on Immigration office). Procedure here: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022C1_07.pdf

A visa exempt entry grants a stay of 30 days. A Tourist visa obtained from a Thai Embassy/Consulate grants a stay of 60 days. In either case, your Immigration status is Tourist. You cannot extend a visa, you can extend your period of stay for 30 days as a Tourist. To obtain a 1-year extension based on Thai child, you must have Non Immigrant status, so he needs to obtain a Non Imm O visa. Where/who have the children been staying with when he wasn't in Thailand? Was he married to the Mother of the children when they were born? Where is the Mother now? Are the children living with him now?

For foreign documents to be accepted as 'genuine' in a foreign Country then they have to be authenticated, certified, translated and the translation authenticated and certified. The process is known as 'legalising' a foreign document for use in another Country. If you married in Canada, your wife's documents would have undergone a similar process in order to be accepted in Canada. Guessing an affidavit, certification, translation etc, to present to the registry office in Canada. Your Canadian marriage certificate is in English and will be accepted by the Thai Embassy in Canada. At Thai Immigration many do not read and poorly speak English, they require a document in Thai from a local Amphoe as evidence you're legally married. You cannot obtain that document from the Amphoe unless your foreign marriage is registered in Thailand. To register your Canadian marriage, you have to go through the steps of 'legalising' your Canadian marriage certificate for it to be accepted as genuine, certified and translated to Thai.

There have been varying reports with no consistency in the actual requirements. It appears to be at the discretion of the clerk at the desk.

Try doing an entry on it. A valid visa permits at least one entry. You had a visa for about 10 seconds until they stamped 'USED' across it, at which point you're left with Non Immigrant status, but not a valid visa.

I'm not the one twisting, and I don't mean that to be condescending. I originally stated 'IMO', which you appear to have taken exception to. Far from being a 'hi so' as you put it, I'm just an average expat. The question "Now Savannahket require 400K for the Non Imm O ME visa and I don't have 400K" is the million-dollar question, with no definitive solution or alternative to stay long term without financial implications. If/when the VE entry offers 60 days entries, then I'd suggest a border hop for 60 days + 30 day extension + 60 day extension + 90 day Non O. That would be cheaper than applying for a Non O at Savannahket and allow a stay of almost 8 months. However, and again just my opinion, you'd probably get away with it once, but as @Rob Browder stated, once Immigration cottoned on, they'd probably refuse further Non O applications and tell you to get the correct visa to stay long term, by which they mean obtain the Non Imm O ME, or a 1-year extension of stay. I know one expat who has managed to borrow 400K funds for 3 months to obtain the 1-year extension, from family, which he then returns with 10K interest. Don't know if that's a feasible option for you, but far cheaper than an agent.
