All, Thankyou so much for your replies it seems pretty straight forward reading what you said, being honest I was a tad nervous about going there but all seems good now

Be there for 8am will all my documents + signed copies + Pen

Do immigration charge a fee for the TM30 ?

Hi all, 

Im a newby to doing the TM30 so I wonder could some of you advice please ?

Arriving in Thailand soon and just took out a 1 year rental contract on condo in Pattaya as I hope to have two or 3 extended stays this year from UK. The contract has all my details and copy of passport on it and same for the condo owner.

If I take this to Jomtien immigration along with my passport would this be all the documentation I would need to do the TM30 ? (fyi-Arriving on 30day visa exemption)

Sorry if I seem bit naive but always stayed in hotels/guest houses in the past and they took care of it. I do see from the forum that its the Condo owners responsibility but they will be in China for the next 4 weeks and I wanted to get used to the Jomtien immigration experience for myself for future visits (good or bad 😆) 

Thanks all for taking the time to read my ramblings and any replies welcomed

She from my Condo Centric - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh !

must have been some bracelet for 200k ?

The only authority in Thailand who are interested in the TM30 are Immigration when dealing with Extensions of Stay... 

 

IF you are only staying 4 weeks...  theres no need whatsoever to submit a TM30... Immigration at the airport are not even remotely interested.

 

For you (op) staying 4 week - there is no need to submit a TM30.

Thanks Richard

Thankyou all for your replies, most welcome. 

I had a thought since I posted this yesterday, let me know what you think

I'm arriving from uk on the test & go and staying less than 30days, so if i put my girlfriends condo address on the 30day visa exempt form (TM6 i think it is) that I get on the plane and hand to immigration at BKK, then I arrive at my hotel for Day 1 Test & Go and again on Day 5 and they will notify immigration anyway..so would i be covered always that way ?

Hi Everyone

Im travelling from UK to Pattaya under the Test & Go next month and I'm staying with my girlfriend in her condo after the Day 1 & after the Day 5 T&Gs so 2 days in a hotel and the rest in her rented condo for 4 weeks the total trip. I've trawled thru the forum and have found info that I have to report to Jomtien Immigration with a TM30 if I was staying in a condo (rented or owned) but not sure if this applies as I'm doing the test & go ?

Also seen that this can be done electronically now but ye to find a site that can accomodate this 

Any thoughts/advice please is welcomed

FYI-First time staying in her condo as we've always done hotels and I've never stayed longer than 2 weeks so this TM30 is all new to me

Think Phuket will by like the old specials song:)

OK, maybe I'm missing the point here, but what is the difference between someone coming from a high infection country and isolating and someone coming from a limited infections country and doing the same ? 

 

Either way , no tourist in their right mind is going to spend 14 days in thai quarantine , take 2 weeks on a beach and then isolate for 14 days in return.

 

These officials truly must be the most idiotic and unrealistic people of the face of the entire planet

Well said !

Be interested to know how you get on with the Covid 19 test requirements and obtaining it in the uk

You should cancel your trip unless absolutely essential. Governments are in a state of flux, they are moving the goalposts almost daily. IMO it will take 4 - 6 months for some semblance of order to be restored, and that is probably optimistic.

I think your right unfortunately, it’s gonna be here for a while so I’ll get onto Thai Airways in the morning

100k USD medical insurance isn't exactly unattainable. The health certificate might be hard depending on where you are.

I agree if you have existing conditions it can be difficult but if not its easily obtainable for very little money but the Medical Cert stating no CoviD-19 and no symptoms for past 14 days in impossible to obtain here in UK.  Here's a link to the Thai DODC  https://ddc.moph.go.th/viralpneumonia/eng/ind_outbreak.php

One other point is they state self isolating for 14 days at your place of residence but what if its just a 7 day trip ? would you be allowed to leave Thailand to get back to UK ??

If anyone does know how to get one of these certs I'd be grateful, as have a trip booked for end of April but no looking good.

Stay safe everyone
