And i think it is now clear that I don't even know how to use this message board system.

ThaiPauly:

Yes, we went with our landlord to the office in order to do the necessary reporting.

Yes, I did in fact join TVF to post this one and only BS post. Thank you for pointing that out.

Yes, Immigration did give a receipt for the fine.

Yes, during the time at immigration I felt this was a BS situation.

I posted to make others aware of what has happened

Thought I would share my experience today at the Airport Immigration location.

We have been living in the same house for 3 years. I read about this topic and felt we needed to do the right thing (go submit the TM28 and TM30) as our visas are up for renewal.

Our landlord has never heard of any of this. We sat in the office, explained our story, and they fined our landlord 3,200 Baht, "because we have lived here so long"

The officer told us they are being very strict now to make landlords afraid of disobeying the law.

This is another example of the office at the Immigration office near the airport being quite strict. Remember that's an "enforcement" office.

The office at Promenada Mall is for submitting TM28/TM30s and the reports are that they are not as strict about fining people, even when they are grossly overdue.

Incidentally, did your landlord receive a receipt for the 3200 baht fine?

As his/her name suggests "they dont know"

I would not put too much faith in a poster who just joined TVF to post this 1 & only BS post
