If one is aware that the TM.30 submitted for the 90 day report is not the latest one submitted to immigration due to a stay in a hotel, I think it would be wise to report a week early. In case the immigration officer calls you out on the discrepancy, you have a week to submit a new TM.30 to immigration and reconcile what's in their computer database with the TM.30 you submit for your 90 day report.

I'm going to summarize what I learned so far: 1. Most likely, immigration won't check to see if the TM.30 you provide for the 90 day report matches with what's in their computer. But there is always the chance that an attentive officer will notice the discrepancy and not let it slide. 2. When doing the annual extension, most foreigners take the time to make sure the TM.30 they provide matches with the immigration computer's records. 3. If you own your own home, you can file the TM.30 on your own behalf since you are both the owner and the foreigner. The simplifies the TM.30 since you are not dependent on another party to file the report. 4. Since I am staying on an Elite Visa, I don't get the benefit of the annual extension. #2 doesn't apply to me. I have to leave the country every 365 days and upon my return, my landlord must submit another TM.30 to immigration. One of these days, I'll purchase a small condo. This should simplify reconciling what's in immigration's computer database and the TM.30 I submit for my 90 day report. Thanks to everyone for their input.

This is great info! I'll have my wife do the check-in while I stay in the car. If they do need my info, passport or driver's license in order to check-in, then I'll request a new TM.30 from my landlord when I return back to Bangkok. It appears that the Thai immigration system records the last reported address. If I'm reported outside the province, then that can cause some surprises when I do the next 90 day report in Bangkok. Question: I live in Bangkok. What if I'm out late one night in Bangkok and I decided to spend the night in a nearby hotel rather than travel home after midnight. I assume the hotel will send a TM.30 to immigration. Do you think this will be a problem with Bangkok immigration? Thank you,

I'm staying in Thailand under an Elite Visa. I did my first 90 day report last week. No problems. I just don't want any surprises 90 days from now. I'll guess I'll use the same TM.30 three months from now regardless of checking into hotels as I travel within Thailand. I'll give myself one week of padding for my next 90 day report in case there are any issues with immigration. Thank you,

Thank you for your answer. I'm going to travel to Khao Yai this weekend. I know the hotel will file a TM.30 as I'm a foreigner staying in their province for a couple nights. I'm glad I don't have to contact my landlord upon my return to Bangkok. I do recall the leasing agent telling me that the landlord will need to file another TM.30 if I travel. Maybe she meant if I travel out of the country. Another Question: Does my landlord need to file another TM.30 if I travel out the country, say for one week? Thank you,

Hello, I have a question regarding the TM.30. I have a 2 year lease on a condo. I received a TM.30 from the landlord when I moved in. My question is: If I stay in a hotel for one night, must I contact my landlord in order for him to submit another TM.30. Thank you,

Were you able to figure out the details of your free insurance from the Mazda dealer?

Can anyone recommend a rheumatologist in Bangkok? I'm sure I'm not the only one here that suffers from this painful, join-wrecking condition. I'm aware that Bumrumgrad and Samitivej Hospitals have rheumatologists on staff. However, it seems overkill for me to go to a hospital for my chronic condition. I'm hoping for a recommendation to a small clinic that specialized in rheumatology. I assume the costs to visit the clinic for regular evaluations and prescriptions would be lower as well. Also, if anyone is willing to share what rheumatoid arthritis medication they are prescribed, it would be benefit me to know what my available options are in Thailand. Thank you,

I was wondering if anyone out there has any comments regarding UOB Bank. Are there any advantages with UOB verses the Thai banks?
