There must be more to this story, somewhere, anywhere ? 

Google is your friend.

A wanted Russian man with an INTERPOL Red Notice and ten years of overstay, who used to stay in Phuket, was arrested in Banglamung, not far from Pattaya.

The Royal Thai Immigration Bureau told the press about the incident on Friday (February 9^th). They arrested Mr. Mik (alias), 34, a Russian national, in front of a house in Nongprue. He was taken to the Pattaya City Police Station to face charges of overstay (2,971 days) and to wait to be deported.

That's an unusual translation of Section 38 of the Immigration that herorealtor.com uses. 

So are you saying it's incorrect?

I have a mate who found them to be polite, efficient, and professional. His words, not mine. 

 

It does occur to me though that it might depend on the location. 

I had an accident with a motorcyclist. The guy only had one leg. (Keeping the story short.) They thought me to be at fault until my insurance agent showed them my dash cam footage. They then decided that the one legged man was at fault but because he was poor they didn't fine him the 1,400 Baht that they were going to.

Property owners in Thailand must register all Non-Thai Nationals living in their property. Let's put it this way, it's the owner that will be fined, so the overall responsibility is with the owner.

DrJack54  is wrong in his posts about TM30's

I've always supplied a hand drawn map for my 1 year marriage extension.

For my first hand drawn map I photocopied it prior to giving it to immigration. They've accepted a photocopy every year thereafter.

My first post in this thread was to say that although it's the house owner's responsibility to do the TM30, the foreigner can suffer if needing to go to immigration for anything FOR EXAMPLE a re-entry.

If the farang knows his rights then he needs to stand his ground instead of letting IO walk all over him.

Can't you people understand that you're being taken for idiots? Immigration know full well that your average Thai won't pay 500 Baht every time a farang stays at their accommodation and he doesn't report the fact? It's much easier for IO to scam farangs than to chase Thais for money. Wake up.

Landlords need to file the TM30 Report at the start of the tenancy. If the landlord fails to file the report, they are subject to a fine of between 800 and 2,000 THB.

Not the Farang

Well, every time I go into immigration for something like a re-entry, if I don't have the TM30 in my passport, they send me home.

What kind of idiot carry's on going to IO knowing full well that if he hasn't got a TM30 in their passport he'll be sent home. Doh

And what's a re-entry permit got to do with a TM30?

The TM30 Thailand reporting form must be completed by the landlord of the unlicensed property the foreigner is renting. This must be done within a 24-hour period of the guest’s arrival. This can especially affect property owners who are renting their homes to visitors for short and long term rentals.

The actual legal definition of the law in Section 38 of the Immigration Act of 1979 is:

“Landlords and leaseholders that receive a non-immigrant resident on their premises, have a legal obligation to report that individual to Thai immigration; this report needs to be completed within a 24-hour period of the non-immigrant resident’s arrival.”     https://herorealtor.com/simple-guide-to-tm30-thailand-immigration-requirements/

NO.. he didn't change anything... you just failed to comprehend who is ultimately responsible to ensure that one has a proper TM-30 on record at IO.

No I haven't. I've been here 18 years and not once have I, and many others, had to submit a TM30.

Yes, it's the obligation of the landlord... until the passport holder wants something done at an immigration office.... and gets sent away

Can you give an example? Nah, I didn't think so.

You obtained a single entry Tourist visa from the Thai Consulate in Savannahket and on entering Thailand you were granted a stay of 60 days.

In that case, you should have filed a new TM30.

No that is completely wrong. it is the responsibility of housemaster/apartment/condo/etc owner to fill out the TM30

'Liquorish' is giving out false information. He's changed the wording of his quote to suit his own ends.

My quote below.

Section 38 : The house – master , the owner or the possessor of the residence , or the hotel manager where the alien , receiving permission to stay temporary in the Kingdom has stayed , must notify the competent official of the Immigration Office located in the same area with that hours , dwelling place or hotel

Don't need to show, you already did "housemaster, possessor, or manager" .

But you ain't the 'housemaster, possessor, or manager' you're just the farang that is told to jump when immigration tells you to. Grow some.

Go argue with immigration next time you are looking for (eg extension) at immigration office.n

Have done many times where IO's try to circumvent the rules only for them to back down.

It is your problem.

No it is not. Show where it says it is.

The TM30 notification and its underlying laws are about the obligation of a landlord (housemaster, possessor, or manager) to report the stay of a foreigner (non-Thai national) in his/her property. All foreigners staying in Thailand and their hosts should be very well aware of this.

We as farang notify our residence by TM47 every 3 months. Pure and simple.

TM30 not your problem,.

Scotsmen cannot be black?

First instance they were Scotsmen and later retracted to be Cameroonians. Now I could understand them initially being taken for Cameroonians but why Scotsmen first.

Or even involve the British Embassy in the case of the Children 

Even if their father was Scottish. Doesn't mean they are registered as 'British citizens'.

What is it that turns some people into hoarders?  

Some researchers believe hoarding can relate to childhood experiences of losing things, not owning things, or people not caring for you. This might include experiences like: Money worries or living in poverty in childhood.

Never had a problem with this new online version. 

I think they just take the p*ss. Gotta make their IO's look busy to keep up staff numbers. Buriram have 2 IO's within 10 Km of each other. Both offices never working to full capacity IMO.

I did mine 3 days ago. It was rejected 'Incomplete information provided'. I'd filled out all the relevant requested questions and have done many, over time, so I'm not a novice.  The questions I didn't answer were the ones not relevant to my application. 

Anyways I redone my application and tried to fill in questions that were not needed and submitted it. Accepted application back within 24 hours. Thai Immigration are just a big joke.
