Perhaps yourself or OP can read one of the many links from net. Despite suggesting to OP info regarding piggyback option he provides zero info. How long does the visit entail etc etc One example here. http://uganda.siam-legal.com/ https://visalist.io/thailand/visa-requirements/uganda

Perhaps down to your address. I have never had mail issues especially EMS which is what is used when mailing 90 day report. Possibly helps that my address on well know road and condo building.

TM30 does not change 90 day report due date. You state that you left Thailand and reentered December. Your report date is reset and due date is 90 days from reentry date. You stated..... ".....but I changed condos and filed the TM30 weeks ago." Did you file the TM30 with immigration in person or....?

As per usual ....it depends on immigration office. The thing with CW (one example) is that they process them after your due date even though you post it to them 2 weeks prior to due date. As a result can be 4 weeks + . On the positive side it's bullet proof and (at CW) they post all your pp photocopies back along with new blank TM47 form.

Are you reading same OP. He is typing about being divorced.

My understanding is a second one not possible unless studies at a university. That may be rubbish just a vague recollection of that being the case

Because on this articular question I found very little by way of past threads and in contrast found a lot of info with Google search. Thought of posting some links however it's easier for someone to go directly. What advice have you provided? Nothing. I also pointed out that if indeed he marries then there is option to piggyback on his non O if he is eligible for one. Very few details provided so hard to advise.

You are not alone. It's very confusing and even more so now with TM30 being introduced for "change of address" and also it's original intent.

First up you are not bringing someone to thailand. Girlfriend or otherwise. He/She will need to satisfy Thai immigration requirements for particular nationality. Out of interest I Googled that and there is lot of information available. Suggest that you check it out. Added note: You state where you reside has nothing to do with it..... If someone lives in Thailand for example on retirement with annual extensions and has a non Thai wife there is an option for that wife to live in Thailand as dependent. Check your facts.

You changed your address. Indeed you are required to file a TM30. Seems that you are sorted now.

Don't understand much of that. When you changed address (moved house) was that still same province meaning same immigration office? Then you state the following... "but then someone Said I need the tm30 in passport with new address..so I went to immigration and got one". No idea what you are referring to You live in Thailand on annual extensions? Why do you need a TM30 in your passport. Which immigration office do you deal with?

Poor option. The OP is in Pattaya as a visit all be it could be not short. A 90 day report at Pattaya would require a change of address. After return to Buriram another TM30 to change address again. You stated ... "And thus you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by mailing your 90 day report to Buriram Imm." Did you miss post from OP not obtaining clear answer from immigration when there in person. Also not one post from anyone that deals with that office stating that mail in reports successful.

No. The OP is asking about a change of address. Not some random trip to somewhere for a break. He needs to make a new TM30 at immigration to ensure that his change of address is on file. Again depends on other things as to it's importance.

Very poor advice. It depends on many things if it's important or not. The main one being the status of OP in Thailand as I asked earlier. If living in Thailand on example annual extensions he very much will require to make 90 day reports. Clearly you have little knowledge of immigration office requirements.

You mentioned 2 passports earlier in thread. At that stage you also seemed to indicate that you did not have equivalent of certificate of residence from embassy. Of course the passport info with current permission of stay would need to match up with embassy providing proof of address. So how did you obtain letter from embassy today on way to DLT. What does this mean.... "I recommend just going to Mo Chit DLT since they seem to have available times even for the next day".... Next day for what? Document check to book appointment. Surely not actual day to obtain license renewal.

If you are in Thailand on annual extensions, suggest good option would be to attend immigration office in person to file TM30 (change of address) Of course that depends on your office and if easy to attend in person. Also how have you been doing 90 reports previously. Does this involve new immigration office or just change of address.

The OP gave minimal details. Did not even state if he lives in Thailand and if so what type of visa/extension he has in Thailand. "Fiance" means nothing regarding visa options for Thailand. A quick Google search outlines options for Ugandan citizens to visit Thailand.

Name one. Issued by who.

Buy what?

The OP never suggested that. He mentioned possibility of posting it to BIL and having him do it on his behalf. Not clear cut if Buriram accepts reporting via mail. Of course they should, however....

That fine however just because you travel and stay in a hotel that should not require you to file a TM30 when you return home just because you stayed at some random hotels elsewhere.

Must have missed that in the thread. Best of luck with the process.

Most likely he doesn't have any even more so ones without dates.

I realize not a sweet pill to swallow however it's 2000 baht. I agree with an earlier post.... Don't post your pp back to Buriram. That's crazy idea imo. The downside of fine is that it needs to be paid in person. Depending on when next extension is you could clean up the matter on visit for extension. Reports that the 2000baht fine does not accrue. Meaning 2k even if more than one report missed.

Correct and no other repercussions. I did look for reports of doing tm47 via mail at Burriram however not clear cut I use mail as back up option due to travel and long periods away from Bangkok. It's disappointing that mail option for report not being clear cut. Surely there must be posters dealing with Buriram that can give definitive advice. I wouldn't do a TM30 at Pattaya just to do 90 day report unless was intending to obtain next extension there.
