There is a clue in the question....

 

The OP's question may have been a bit ambiguous.

At Thai immigration, there are lines for foreigners and there are other lines for Thai nationals.

Where?

Very unsual.

Do you send by EMS? (if so, has it been received)

In the past I did postal mail and send by EMS and insert a return envelope also franked for EMS.

As far as I know you can get a sticker (not stamps) for the return envelope at the post office.

Wouldn't registered mail be cheaper but the postal receipt you get for it serve equally well as proof of mailing?

The check-in staff of airlines that are members of IATA generally use the IATA Travel Centre to look up the  requirements, using an automated process. It is free to use for everyone.

It is up to the check-in staff, probably based on instructions and guidelines issued by the airlines, how strictly to apply these requirements. This is why the traveller in front of me in the queue without a visa may be asked for an onward ticket and I, in the same situation, may not be a asked for it.

P.S. I did not select red for the last paragraph; it just happened. In fact, on the phone I wouldn't be able to change the colour even if I wanted to.

...Up to the OP if he wants to do it or not. 1,600 baht fine awaits in the future and he will need to do it anyway if he needs to do something at immigration down the track

At what immigration office is this the case?

A Thai literature course, if you're interested in that.

@everybody except arick

Is it true that "every immigration office has a quality control QR code sitting on their desk"? Actually, I am not asking about ever immigration office, just about the one you are using.

Doesn't it depend on which IO you use as they all seem to interpret the law differently .

In the visa forum, the acronym IO is variously used to mean "immigration office" or "immigration official"

In the context of this topic, which is about documents to be shown to the immigration official upon arrival at the airport, it can only mean "immigration official"

Every once in a while, I see a post recommending to line up at an immigration counter with a male official with the suggestion that female officials are more likely to ask probing questions or request documents like an accommodation reservation. I have seen no statistical evidence, though, to lend credence to this but it may well be the personal experience of the respective posters.

Visa Exemption and Bilateral Agreement | ThaiEmbassy.com

Thank you.

Curious, if one enters visa exempt, does one have a visa status?

No visa = no visa status.

In the arrival stamp, the immigration usually puts an illegible hand-written scribble, two Thai characters, denoting that your permission to stay is based on a visa-exempt entry. l saw this explained in a post some years ago.

Just because they don't ask... but they can if they want to... see 4 below.

That's a nice list you have there. The only thing missing is a link to the source. Care to post it?

There is no notification sent out on the TM30 online form.

No notification sent out by whom to whom?

Well I could be buggered re self-registration or, indeed, any TM30 registration if, as I suspect, there is no blue house book for the property... If anyone has any good ideas about what to do about TM30 registration in that case please do say...

If there is no blue house registration book then the building has probably not yet been certified as fit for human habitation.

As someone else mentioned this is only one side of the story.  I'm sure he has a completely different story.  Without seeing a video it's hard to say what the truth is.  It looks like from the photo there is a security camera installed.

 

 

The Swiss man gave his side of the story in an interview with a Swiss news publication.

After allegedly punching a Thai woman in the back, a Swiss man on Phuket is facing hate and threats. He denies the allegations.

• A Swiss expatriate in Phuket is accused of violently hitting a Thai woman in the back.
• This is not true, the accused Swiss man tells 20 Minuten - a video is supposed to prove his innocence. Here you can see the video.
• There is now a veritable smear campaign against him. "I'm going through hell," he says.

Arrive from overseas on late Sunday night.  How am I supposed to convince my landlord to do a TM30 within Monday?

You are the householder, ie the possessor in your capacity of tenant. Submit the TM.30 notification yourself.

The child is not a Thai.

In this case, it is clause 2.9 of the cited Police Order for your child, clause 2.11 for you.

The really amazing thing is that the Mukdahan immigration office has been giving the OP marriage extensions without a KR.22 certificate being submitted for many years. I don't think many other immigration offices would be so accommodating.

@thairookie

What is the nationality of your child?

If your child is a Thai national (your post did not say) Clause 2.18 of the Police Order regarding extensions of stay applies to your situation.

Evidence of employment is not a requirement in this case.

We were married years ago at the Australian embassy.

One time a lovely lady said marriage certificate is old, 'well yes' but could be fake, 'well no', go to the embassy and get it authenticated.

Cue: exploding wifey.

 

Are you saying that you applied at your local, unnamed immigration office for an extension of stay with your marriage certificate issued by the Australian embassy in Thailand?
