TM.30 reporting requirement change(?)
Jingthing replied to mran66's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's funny! Anyway the youtube channel Integrity Legal is still saying this rule change is for real. That a TM30 receipt in your passport is needed for any and all immigration services including extensions and that TM30 must dated AFTER your last entry into Thailand. I had a relevant recent experience with this. I'm a condo owner that lives in my condo. I had NEVER filed a TM30 myself and was never asked for one over many many years living here. So I got this news and as I have an extension coming up, I freaked out. So I went in to Jomtien and did file for my first time. I expected there to be a fine. Daresay I probably deserved it. But happily no fine. So I asked the obvious questions? Do I need to file a new TM30 if I stay at a hotel in Thailand? As expected, no. Do I need to file a new TM30 if I leave and reenter Thailand? Surprisingly no. But pay attention -- ONLY because I was an owner occupant of my home. But keep in mind this was at the TM30 desk. Maybe they don't know about changes yet for sure or don't care because it's not their desk. Maybe the desks where you actually do other than TM30 services WILL start following the rule. I don't know. I doubt anyone here does either. So wait and see and see how this shakes out from future reports. -
You're kind of proving my point. Different countries different situations If your home country has an adequate safety net then it is obviously less compelling for poorer retirees to retire to a lower cost country in order to improve their quality of life or even just to have any kind of roof over their head. My premise obviously only applies to such people that can greatly benefit by making the move.

I disagree. What president could have possibly done better in the face of an opposing party that was taken over by a fascist cult leader? He needs to be viewed in that context and I'm confident historians will concur. But I don't think he should run again. He can't overcome how he's superficially viewed -- the too old thing.

I can't remember such details about each poster. When I hear Free Palestine! I always think that people should explain their definition. There is no way that most people chanting that especially with the genocidal River to the Sea added, think like you do. They like the Hamas terrorists want to end Israel completely.

Yes, that's a big problem almost everywhere in the US and certainly most everywhere that is on the "more afforable" variety. You absolutely need a car. I guess the only bright side to that is that 20 year old beater cars are pretty cheap. I know nothing about Hattiesburg. It sounds OK for the deep south. They even have a synagogue and a gay community center. But I checked apartments and it looks like you're talking 900 for anything not horribly depressing. I can afford like 350, ha ha.

Do you need the entire extra 30 days? I don't think you can do a TM7 for this but I recall a number of reports in the past of people being late by some days on their annual extension and allowed to proceed by paying a per day overstay fine. However, I don't have a clue how you would manage such an attempt, and it's not something I would ever want to try myself (to go in late). Maybe someone else can advise.
