Who said I never questioned it
Like I said, many government offices, for many different things, just make the rules up themselves.
But, well done for schooling Buriram immigration on TM-30 issues.
I have had two run-ins with Nongkhai immigration, in the past 3 years.
I have had enough of there ways. ( just making stuff up )
the other issue was, not issuing a certificate of residence, for the renewal of a driving license, Reason was, current 12 months retirement extension was not issued in Nongkhai. so had to stop driving for 6 months. until it was 12 retirement extension time at nongkhai ( wonderful ) but the bright side was I could have a few beers all the time, as wife had to drive.
I will be doing TM-30 stuff on line soon, I used to do it with the old system on line, just never got round to using the new one.
I also just find some hotels at the present, that are happy with just my wife checking in. to avoid the TM-30 stuff.
Again won't be an issue when I do it all on line, soon.
But I bet it's a problem for some of the older ex-pats who are not computer savvy. and don't live close to nongkhai immigration office.
It's about time they scraped this crazy 90 day and TM-30 reporting.
Thailand needs to grow up.
