Hi Guys

I promised an update. I cannot add any further info regarding the TM30 discussion as I never reached that point in the application.

My application was thrown out due to a couple of errors in the paperwork (which had been fine others years) so I have been given an extension for a short time, then have to apply again.

A couple of other expats I spoke to there had not even heard of the latest TM30 problems and submitted their TM30 form exactly as previous years, just showing their arrival into TH.

So on it goes.... 

Thanks for all the replies, looks like hotel tomorrow and IO on Monday with fingers crossed.

I will report back how it goes for others that may fall into a similar trap....

Lupin, it gets worse, I just checked my visa, looks like I read the badly smudged date wrong, it's 21st, this Monday....

Lupin great thanks,

I just need to now think of an excuse for us to visit a hotel and delay my extension visit to IO because it runs out next Wednesday!

I seem to remember being a few days overdue a couple of years back and got fined, but it will be worth it!

So, are you saying that my last hotel visit showed me residing there, and as no TM30 was filed showing me returning home, then that will be the issue?

So could I file a TM30 for that visit now?

When I did my last 90 day report about six weeks ago nothing was said then, it showed my home address....

You are helping Lupin, but boy I am still confused about all this!

Lupin, Thanks.

I am confused, I had around 6 hotel stays during the last six months with nothing being filed, because back then I knew nothing about TM30.

Are you saying if the wife and I stay at a hotel in the next few days then file a TM30 that wipes out all the previous?

If that is the case does it mean I will only be picked up on only my last hotel visit that I do not want my wife to know about?

Thanks for the advice guys.

Ok, it was not short time, it was a regular hotel room which I booked via Agoda and showed my passport there. 

The wife as house owner has done nothing to register for TM30 so thats why I am afraid it may come up when we visit immigration.

Has anybody been picked up regarding TM30 at the time of visa renewal?

Hi Guys,

I am due to renew my Non O visa this week and have a worry regarding TM30

I spent the odd night in BK in a hotel which my wife does not know about, and I want to know whether this will be flagged up when we are sitting in immigration and all the <deleted> hits the fan.

We live in Nonthaburi, so I am guessing that counts as a separate province. The time spent each time in hotel was only one night per time.

Anybody have experience of this?

Hi Guys

Any experts on the Mag 250 box?

I use it for Uk tv, no probs, but the missus wants to get Thai tv on there as well, anyone know how to do that?

She only really wants the free digital stations, as she prefers UK tv!!!!
