Filed as usual prior to 90-day expiry, but application was rejected due to conflicting data pertaining to address. My first thought was that the attending immigration officer who completed my last 90-day notice (at the time yearly extension to stay was granted) had possibly entered my residential address incorrectly. That proved inconsequential.
I'm thinking the one-night stay in Khao Lak three weeks ago has triggered a change. (I used my pink Thai ID card as identification as I didn't have my passport handy.) Then, being under the erroneous impression that short stays away from home didn't require filing another TM30, I neglected to do so.
Today I registered my Thai wife on the TM30 portal and filed notice of a foreigner (me) staying. A "Search" shows the status as "Informed". Now I'm not sure what to expect at this point... Will I receive confirmation by email stating that the foreigner (myself) is approved by immigration authority as staying at the registered address?
Within 7 days of the 90-day notice expiring, I'll attempt another online application. If that fails, and I'm, again, asked to visit Phuket immigration office, I'll try the drive-thru. If redirected to Room 101, I'll have in hand the completed TM30 paperwork that coincides with todays online registration. If the question arises as to where I stayed between January 18 and February 13, I'll say I went camping.
Any insights, information, or cautionary advice is welcome.
