You should not be required to do a TM30 for trips out of province or out of Thailand.
33 minutes ago, FarangFB said:My driver's license expires in a couple months, I think I'll need to visit immigration to get a residence certificate, wonder if the TM30 has any effect on this.
To obtain a certificate of residence most recent TM47 or TM30 should be sufficient.

are there 2 Dr Jacks? '' I quote your first response'
'Ditto.
I would take it up to the 800k 4 months prior to application.
Note not expiry'
which is it, 2 month or 4 months.? thanks.
It's 2 months prior to date of application for extension.
The 4 was a typo.
So it's all about the date of application.
800k for 2 months prior to application + maintained at 800k for 3 months after application and not below 400k in other months

Went back a couple of weeks later , paid a small fine, did my extension, no overstay showed in anything I could see.
Your account has zero to do with overstay of several months.
What you related is common place.

So no one gets misinformation.
Pinned thread: That won't happen.
It's not misinformation It's the law.
Everyone needs to be aware of their immigration office nonsense.

Please report back with your findings.
It's impossible to qualify each statement with what rogue offices do re TM30.
There are ~75 offices and I posted the law and what normal offices such as CW enforce.
CM is another rogue office.

One word of caution, tea money is still very much a thing with io’s so hand over 2,000baht and do not expect or ask for any change, if the io offers change (unlikely) don’t accept it just quietly tip it back over the counter they will remember you next time
This is nonsense.

You may require a TM30 and prior to checking in you should establish if the hotel can give you screenshot of the TM30

OP, ignore any posts referring to use an agent.
Repeat... advise friend to pay fine exit Thailand and return (if want to) after ban expired.

OP, your friend needs to exit Thailand via airport and pay the 20k fine.
Will be given a ban. (one year)
Serve the time out of Thailand and return after ban if they wish.
Do not compound the problem

Its very easy to do the extension in person, why pay 5000is baht for some one to do it when it costs 1900baht.
It's 4500-1900= 2600b
For someone with mobility issues or not wanting to deal with one of the busy immigration offices its an option.
To each their own

OP, you have answers above.
If not able to attend in person during the grace period you could consider leaving it till you have business at immigration.
You will be fined 2k baht.

Discussed in this thread
https://aseannow.com/topic/1169664-thai-immigration-announce-changes-to-tm30-reporting/
In the OP take note of Para 2.2....
2.2 After the house holder, owner or possessor of the premise of hotel
manager has reported as defined in Article 2.1, the same alien has left the premise and
returned for another stay within the valid period, the house holder, owner or possessor
of the premise of hotel manager do not need to make another report;
The alien as defined in paragraph one shall include those who
being granted multiple-visa who leaves and returns to the Kingdom with specified
time in the visa, and those with re-entry permit.
Previously, most immigration offices in Thailand wanted a new TM30 report within 24 hours every time a person left and reentered the country. This change eliminates that requirement.

Thanks for the heads up - if I ever need to withdraw cash then I will be sure to carry both passports. But, the odds of that are pretty slim as I haven't done a cash withdrawal for more than 10 years ago anyway but...one never knows especially here in Thailand.
Your posts are off topic.
The OP asked if transfer of stamps needs to be done immediately.
Answer: No.
I suggested he should update bank account info. And yes he should.
Your LTV and banking habits is of little interest.

Banks probably a lot like immigration - location makes up their own set of rules,,,TIT
A Tip: get your bank to update passport #.
If you are using money in bank the income letter will need to reflect your new pp #
That's immigration issue not a bank issue.

I'm only staying an extra 15 but I don't know if it's easier to go with a visa company to the Cambodian border or go to immigration in Bangkok and probably sit there all day
I wonder if any visa agent could do it for me for a small fee when I arrive ?
You won't sit at Laksi all day and pretty sure appointment is available.
In any event far better option than a border bounce from Bangkok.
Agents can obtain 30 day extension on your behalf.
Thai Visa Centre is one of several.

That would not be a good idea.
He will receive a ban.
He needs to exit via airport now.
