Thats just crazy as you never even left the province??!!!

This is the first time this has happened in 15 years, never been an issue before. It was just because it was the first time i'd done a re entry at the new building that made me think things maybe aren't synced properly yet. As I pointed out, my last re entry with the same TM30 at the old building was accepted. TIT.

It was not a big problem to be honest, but thought it may be worth mentioning, maybe I was just unlucky. I'd say it was down to the two computers in separate buildings just not talking to each other for whatever reason.

Nope, not left Phuket since receiving my yearly extension a few months back, and the same TM30 was used for the application and accepted.

Went to get a re entry permit earlier this week, handed in the paperwork and was told I needed to update my TM30, even though the same TM30 was used as part of my yearly extension a few months back (which I told the IO), and I hadn't left the country since. The IO said 'you must report every time you re enter the province', which I did on my return into Thailand before my extension, and the updated TM30 was accepted as part of the successful application. I had to walk up to the drive thro window and tell the IO I needed to update it, which he did along with my 90 day report which was also due. There were many cars waiting but luckily I got seen straight away after explaining the situation. Phuket has a new building now for re entry permits and it appears that the computers are not talking to each other, as the original IO pointed to the last stamp on my TM30 slip that was dated 2024. I always go to the drive thru each time I come back into the country, and my info is updated on their computer, but do not always get a stamp, so although my TM30 was up to date on the computer at the building where I do my yearly extensions and at the drive thru, it was clearly not updated on the new buildings system. The buildings are opposite each other. Not a huge deal and the IO was very polite, but just a heads up for anyone using the same office. On a busier day it could have been a lot worse. The same TM30 was also used to get a previous re entry permit at the original building with no issues a few months back. Has anyone else updated their TM30 on return to Thailand at Phuket, but not actually received a stamp on the slip? PST.

Has anybody successfully used the Phuket office to apply for a UK visitor visa for their family?. Do they take biometrics there? TIA PST

Thanks. I've also just read that uk application center from March 18th is now The shoppes at Belle Grand Rama 9 131/1,141/1 Unit BS003-BSOO3/1 1st Floor, Rama 9, Huay Kwang so a different address,,,,

In recent years, once my wife has submitted her online application, she always used to have to go to the Trendy Building in BKK to do biometrics etc and to hand in the original documents. Is that still the location used? TIA

Which strains did you try?

Is there a new facebook link for the khanom growers, the last link provided dosent work? thx pst

We live in, and will be applying from Thailand.

Thanks very much. As i mentioned in my original post, we are undecided where to go at present, but Spain and Italy do appeal along with Netherlands,

For Spain?

Thanks, so for Spain, I cannot act as a sponsor, even though my families name will be on all the bookings, but other Schengen countries I can?. Is there a definitive list of which countries accept sponsors?. Have any other posters experienced any non sponsor countries?
