Just to clarify after re-reading both your posts. Yes, that is correct. You do not have to fill in any TM6 info since they stopped issuing TM6's at least a few years ago. Just leave it blank if it is on the form.

There are no more TM6's. So, there should not be any data related to a TM6 and no need to fill that in.

@2_mike_an I do not know the answer to your question. Perhaps someone on this thread may be able to provide an answer to your question. That said, I presume, that since you have been here for more than 10 years without leaving the country, you probably do not have the TM30 from 10 years ago. I assume, but do not know for sure, that you can simply create a new TM30 with a start date of whenever it is you create the TM30, and submit that when you apply for your 90 day report. If you currently have a TM30, simply make several copies of that and keep them for the next times you do a 90 day report. I believe that once you have done a 90 day report in person, all subsequent 90 day reports can be done online which may not require a TM30.

@2_mike_an According to the law as it is written, if you leave the country and return to the same address where you had previously submitted a TM30, then you do NOT need to submit one again. Remember it is returning to the same address where you previously filed a TM30. However, if you return to a new address, then you will need to file a new TM30. This is what the immigration rule states. However, I have heard via this forum, that not all immigration offices are following this rule even though this is the law. Personally, since I know how to do it and it doesn't take me more than 5 mins to do it, I do it every time I come back from abroad and print out a new TM30. I use this only if I have to go file an extension if my extension of stay is about to expire. I travel a bit so most times, I never actually use what I have printed. You only use the printed TM30 if you need to go extend your stay or do a 90 day report. If you leave the country before your permitted stay expires, then simply throw that away and do a new one when you come back. It's not a yearly thing. It's whenever you return to Thailand from abroad. It could be many times a year if you travel a lot or it could be once in a few years if you never leave the country for a long time. Just bookmark your TM30 page so it is easy to get back to if you need to do it again and follow the forum to see if there have been any changes since the last time you did it. Good luck !!

Once you have submitted your data as you have indicated, you need to go back to the search page. I do this by logging out and then logging back in. When you do this, you can then start a search . On that page to the upper right, you will see a block that says 'Date of Stay". In there fill in the from date as the date you submitted your data and then in the next field (to date)fill in today's date. Don't fill in anything else. Then go to the search button below and click that. If your data had been successfully transmitted earlier, you will see your data show up below. Click the blue magnifying glass icon on the bottom left and the data you submitted should show up. The you click the export button on the bottom right and your printable TM30 should show up. Print that for your records. As others have said, 7 days after you submit your data, this form will no longer be available. Good luck!

An update. I sent my 7162 via EMS (cost THB1550). Dropped at post office Aug 9 - delivered Aug 16 per tracking info attached. Took exactly a week.

@jeffandgop I went and sent it to the address you show via EMS though I did not use a courier service. I intend on sending a 2nd copy via regular airmail in a week. As of today, I have still not received Form 7162 from SSA.

Just FYI. As of today, I have still not received my 7162. I sent an email to FBU Manila asking them what I should do. They sent me back a copy of the form 7162 and asked that I fill it out and send it to the address they specified. The blank form they sent me is missing some filled in fields like the one I received last year but I am going to go ahead and mail this as they have suggested.

@poobear Thank you.

Anyone get their 7162 form for this year yet ?

I had exactly the same problem when I ordered a phone through Amazon. The phone arrived in Thailand and I got the exact same email from the carrier. I did some checking first and just like an earlier post mentioned, the problem is that the phone has to be on the approved NBTC list. If it isn't, then you will need to get a license from NBTC to get it in. I simply called Amazon and told them that they should have known not to ship this to Thailand and that I refused to accept that I had to go figure out how to import it. Amazon told me that they would work with the carrier to get it returned. I then turned around and told the carrier (via return email) that Amazon agreed to take it back and that it would work with them to accomplish that. I left it there and a few days later, I got the refund from Amazon. Let the carrier deal with Amazon and the local authorities to figure it out. Amazon has a lot of clout with the carriers and whatever they want done, the carriers will have to do. Good Luck !

@Sheryl In addition to trying what @SooKee suggested above, you may also want to go to your cookie settings and just delete all the cookies related to that immigration page (type immigration in the search box for cookies in your browser settings). That might help.

@Sheryl I had the same issue ... try 'forgot password' and reset your password.... see my note earlier

@SooKee Thanks for that. Yes, after 7 days it disappears and one needs to enter it over again just to be able to get a print out. I am getting a visa extension done in about 3 weeks so will know if this is sufficient both for the 90 day reporting as well as the extension.

Previously - Just tried registering on the new TM30 website. But the captcha doesn't show. That's needed to upload ID documentation and without the captcha, it's not possible to register. I've tried 3 different browsers - safari, chrome and firefox - they all show the same problem. Is anyone else having this issue ? A follow up on my earlier issue - I gave up trying to register but instead tried to log in using my old credentials which I had set up in September of this year. It didn't accept the password I had used then so I tried 'Forgot password" - got an email to reset my password and went ahead and reset it - I was then able to log on. Once in, I set the accommodation i.e. my house details. After that, I entered my details (passport etc) and set Nov 6, 2023 as the check in date. I then submitted this and a pop up appeared saying that the data was successfully stored. I then tried to do a search for my entry but it kept saying that there were no records. Gave up last night and tried again this morning - this time, it found the record with my details. I then printed that out showing all my details. I assume then that this is the official TM30 record which I then submit to immigration when I extend my visa. It's quite different to the TM30 record that the old section 38 app used to give. Is this correct - i.e. is the print out of my details the new TM30 format ? Can anyone comment on this ? TIA.
