Thank you and appreciate the suggestion. I frequently travel out of the country and never stay in Thailand over a 90-day period. Since the 90-days restarts on your most current re-entry into Thailand, would I possibly not ever have to submit a 90-day report?

Does anyone know if this Act is currently active? I've heard that it is no longer in effect.

I used an visa agent in Pattaya (shame on me) after being frustrated with attempting completing the process on my own. The visa agent posted the attached notice, instructing that the visa holders notify their office upon re-entering into Thailand from abroad EVERY TIME. The visa agent also imposes a 1000 THB fee and informed that this was to re-issue a TM30 after re-entry. Interestingly, they never issued me a new TM30 until I asked (and never completed one after my first re-entry). I am getting mixed feedback that this requirement is no longer effective. I do not want to contact the visa agent as I question the company's integrity. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Immigration Act 2522 attached. Anyone seen this before?

Hello, Thank you everyone for your input on my TM30 issue. I just signed up as an ASEAN Now member and am the person experiencing the problem. I received my 15-month retirement visa (multi-entry) in January this year. I travel frequently out of the country. The visa agent pointed out an "Immigration Act 2522" and instructed me to send a photo of the entry stamp and pay 1000 THB every time I return to Thailand. The agent explained that the fee was to for submitting a TM 30 to immigration; however, never provided a receipt. In fact, I never received a TM30 receipt from the agent after receiving the retirement visa. Question: I travel frequently and do not foresee myself staying in Thailand for three months straight during my retirement visa time period. Since the 90-day reporting resets every time I re-enter Thailand, can I get by without ever submitting a 90-day report?
