It is generally recommended to mention the name of the Immigration office one is dealing with when posting about an interaction with Immigration. Failing to do that, one has to expect to receive information about how each of the over 70 offices in Thailand handles the matter in question, but this is usually not really what one wants.

The United Nations Refugee Center (UNHRC) has a branch office in Thailand. They will probably be able to help you with this. https://www.unhcr.org/th/

The Thai embassy in Switzerland had that information on their website when I applied for a visa November. See what the website of the Thai embassy in your country has.

I recall having seen it mentioned in a recent topic that the TM.30 is indeed necessary. Each arrival in Thailand with a multiple-entry non-O visa is an entry in its own right without regard to where you went to stay following your previous entry. In practical terms, if you have no interaction with an immigration office within the 90-day permission of your stay the question whether your arrival was notified to immigration does not really arise.

Some years ago, the dean of the law faculty of Thammasat University pointed me to www.krisdika.go.th, which is the website of the Office of the Council of State, ie the Cabinet, for thai laws. Of some laws, there is also an English translation on that site. Currently, the link to the English translation of the Immigration Act on that site can be found on the page https://www.krisdika.go.th/web/guest/translations-of-law?p_p_id=LawLibrary_TranslationLawPortlet_INSTANCE_PxcK4uLURwgR&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&_LawLibrary_TranslationLawPortlet_INSTANCE_PxcK4uLURwgR_javax.portlet.action=selectLawData&_LawLibrary_TranslationLawPortlet_INSTANCE_PxcK4uLURwgR_lawTypeName=I&_LawLibrary_TranslationLawPortlet_INSTANCE_PxcK4uLURwgR_lawTypeId=026011009&p_auth=iRsHIS9n&p_p_lifecycle=0 When it comes to procedures and rules for complying with immigration requirements, what really matters are the forms, rules and guidelines issued by the Immigration Bureau. Regarding the TM.30 discussed in this topic, much useful information has been posted here already. From experience, I would say that the "Regulation of Royal Thai Police on notification of a householder, owner or possessor of dwelling place or hotel manager, who takes in, as a resident, an alien permitted to temporary stay in the Kingdom" was published in the Royal Gazette. There is a website that has an archive of the editions of this publication but I can't remember the link at the moment, but I do remember that I gave up to try finding a particular publication on that site. @ningnong, you may want to print out the PDF document of the regulation that has been posted in this topic and see if a lawyer proclaiming to be an expert in immigration matters can give you the date and number of the relevant issue of the Royal Gazette, or even better a link to it.

No.

This topic has gone too far off topic.

It's time to close this topic.

You get a stamp in your passport stating that tour application for extension of stay is denied and that you must leave the country not later than a specified date, which is seven days after the application. During that period, you are not on overstay.

Everything is now the same as before the Covid-19 pandemic. In some countries, perhaps also in Denmark, electronic visa application (eVisa) has been introduced and this is continued.

I cleaned up the topic some more by deleting off-topic posts and the replies to them.

In the OP's case I would write an email or letter to the Consular Division (look up the correct name and address on mfa.go.th), not to rant but politely and formally "for your information", stating the facts and attaching copies of relevant correspondence, making no accusations or demands. If they get many reports about mitakes being made at that embassy, the MFA will do what is necessary to improve the service in that location.

Another thing to consider is that whereas the online application asked for that travel information, these data do not appear on the eVisa which the embassy will send you by email and to the best of my knowledge the immigration officials at the point of entry have no online access to that information.
