4 minutes ago, Speedhump said:I flatly refuse believe any of these tearful posts 'I was going to go on a lovely trip around Thailand but cancelled it because I have to do a TM28 (not TM30, actually) on my return home' . This is all total BS (or the posters are the usual whining monkeys just trying to stir things up). I went on my first ever trip from my home in Hua Hin to Pattaya last week. 3 days. On my return went to Immig to do 90 day report and TM28. Took me 30 minutes queuing (was busy, for a change, I timed it wrong for once) and less than 5 minutes at the desk. I didn't have to show anything other than my and my wife's passports.
hua hin is easy (i live there too) - try chaengwattana on a monday morning - lucky if out by lunchtime

That agreement should bring much higher, mutual value and not be burdened by troublesome ‘ease of doing business’ issues which can be addressed now for the benefit of all parties..."
Yes, if they don't abolish this, it's only fair for the Western countries to require the same procedure for all the hundreds of thousands of Thais (many of them rich children of the politicians who make these stupid rules) who have residency, jobs and property in Western countries. "Want to go from London to Bath? No problem! Simply go take a day off work or school to report yourself to Scotland Yard on your way in and out. Don't want to do it? Your visa won't be renewed and you will no longer be able to go to school and work in England. Bye Bye! We want quality Thais that follow the rules. It's not that hard, foreigner."
Diplomacy should be based on reciprocity. What's fair is fair.
all good points but moot, the FTA will be dead the moment thailand realizes it cant tax european car imports at 400% anymore

the absurdity of this policy summed up in one simple sentence
why did no-one in immigration step up and point this out?

Let's say I was doing some nefarious activities far away. Wouldn't our registration of the TM30 be a great alibi? Or would it simply show that self-disclosure is meaningless when you're a criminal.

Because we're all still waiting for the "definitely promised, gonna happen don't you worry about that" announcement about mandatory health insurance from two or three weeks ago
and i'm still smarting from the BIG announcement of a new multiple entry tourist visa to replace the outdated double entry..
2 weeks later we found out we'd need 5K in the bank for 6 months and letters from our employers. gee, thanks.
or the non-ox 10 year visa.. followed by 3M, mandatory health, etc, etc
or the digital nomad savior - the 'smart' visa ie 200K month min earnings
all touted big, all total <deleted>shows
so excuse me if i'll wait for the 'details' this time

happened to me before - came back in the requested "3 days later" and all was fine
nothing to panic about, your current under consideration stamp is still valid

I now know a few Thai landlords are not interested in registering their properties so the onus is on the farang to do it but why does the tenant have to do it?
Should crack down on the owners
why? because an owner, so inclined, would just tell them to eff off and there is nothing they can do about it (besides a paltry fine that they would then ignore too)
foreigners on the other hand are a soft touch.. no TM no visa for you farang..

98% of foreigner come to thailand don’t even know about this 30 document. Because the hotel do it for them.
ok, accepted! thais or anyone else for that matter, do not need to fill out a TM30 or anything similar in the UK.
they are welcome to stay or move anywhere they want without making a report.
now over to you.. please CC me in on your request to the government, i look forward to reading it ????
thankyou!

i would go with interactive brokers over saxo as they have no custody fees only a monthly activity fee if you don't trade, but that is free if you have a balance over 100K (cash, stocks, bonds, etc)
very happy with them. easy to set up, minimal docs required and great support too

and yet i can happily walk into a pharmacy and buy as much nicotine gum as i want..
or into a 7/11 and buy all the cigarettes i want..
so why e-cigarettes??!
maybe its because they actually work in stopping smoking cigarettes?
wake me up when they ban NICOTINE full stop otherwise i'm just gonna file all these "warnings" under B&LLSH*T
