If you put your registered address on the TM6 form when entering the country no TM30 is needed.

But according to the new regulation it depends upon your status here. If on a tourist visa a TM30 report is needed if you stay at another address after arriving. If on extension of stay no reporting is needed unless you change your registered address.

I'm on extension (retirement) and haven't been out of country for 1 1/2 year and except for a new passport picked up on a day trip to Bangkok hardly been more than 30K from registered address the last 8 months.

Great, thank you for the info.

I know some time ago there was something new about the above mentioned forms but haven't follow it so I would be grateful for an update. I shall visit/stay in another province approximately 4-5 weeks other than where my registered address in Thailand are and will stay in a mixed condo/hotel where there are both Thai and foreign owners/renters, i.e. long stayers but the place also rent out some condo's for shorter periods. As far as I know through friends living permanently there the condo management report directly any newcomer online to Immigration and my question is if I then also have to visit Immigration and tell them that I'm there for some weeks. Btw, I'm on retirement Visa.

Thanks

I think you are getting a bit paranoid now if you feel a need to check your blood pressure 24h.

 

Also, if you are moving around, eating, doing things, your blood pressure will vary.

Sorry I messed it up with long-term monitoring of heart rhythm used to detect heart rhythm disorders that are only occasionally present

Thank you for the information. Will most likely go for this one https://www.lazada.co.th/products/omron-evolv-bluetooth-5-i331538905-s637476872.html?exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350205_2010350205::12:9545605182!94517629181!!!pla-470958127127!c!470958127127!637476872!120285377&gclid=CjwKCAjw2dD7BRASEiwAWCtCb23Se-Pub-uv-ICAbf-H093rEYO2G7l9v_egiLQrOTeUeJz5Ih7iRRoCcicQAvD_BwE.

Btw, can this be used to wear around to monitor the blood pressure 24h.

Felt.

Would be grateful if someone could recommend a good blood pressure monitor and where to buy in Thailand?

Thanks

BANGKOK: Thailand will receive its first foreign vacationers when a flight from China arrives next week, marking the gradual restart of a vital tourism sector battered by coronavirus travel curbs, a senior official said on Tuesday (Sep 29).

The first flight will have about 120 tourists from Guangzhou, flying directly to the resort island of Phuket, Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Yuthasak Supasorn told Reuters.

Can't imagine Chinese tourists flying to Phuket to be quarantined for 14 days during their 1-week Golden Week holidays.  Doesn't add up.

They didn't get all with the first wave so this is the gen.....de squad????

Ah....the Chinese knocking brigade will always be out in some force they are entitled of course

What they need to take into account Is the amount of revenue that the Chinese guests generate
directly and indirectly through just being in the country

By encouraging them and other Asian nationalities to visit Thailand (when the time is right) will benefit all visitors and expats in the longer term. The UAE is a prime example 

The only who benefit from revenue in this is they who always benefit, here.???? 

????I can only imagine how appealing it must be for the Scandinavian tourists to meet Chinese as the first thing as soon as they are out of quarantine????

????I got my motorcycle license 40 years ago back home and its still valid just as my car license, but wonder how that will turn out with this new regulation if I find out I want to get me a big bike at old age. ????

Anyone know if the Hertz operation in US/Canada file for bankruptcy this May have any impact on their operations in Thailand and rentals.

well said . if you have retirement visa and you are within the expiry date you do not come under the amnesty  i cant why this is not understood 

Maybe because they (Immigration) actually say this:

The Immigration Bureau has announced that all kinds of long and short term visas can be extended at immigration offices nationwide from now until the 26 September. 

All visas will start their validity from the 27th of this month and all those on long term visas of any kind will receive extensions valid from September 27th. 

I'm the last one to be surprised if it actually are so because it will give Immigration better overview/control with every foreigner in country allowed to stay from a specific date.

Btw, where is the order saying that it not include retirement visas/extensions?

It should not be a problem if it is true love based on honesty and faithfulness. Many were separated during World War II, but shortly after the War they married and a little later my generations came into the world.????

Seems the only way in is by air as the Phangna model requires a 14 day quarantine (each way) to pass!

 

The tourism and sports minister ia doing a hell of a job. ????

 

Serious, cant you drive from Bangkok and pass Phangna and further to Phuket?

This is only for they on amnesty, right? I hope so and not for they of us who recently extended our 1-year retirement extension!

Thanks

You do know that you are talking about 1 isolated country, that only had 1 domestic Covid-19 case in 100 days, right?

I don't know about isolated, only and cases but I remember vaguely a few things from previous crises here and not to forget the book, what was the name again was it .....dom of making believe or similar. Its good you should read it.????

Thanks for the replies. I have decided to rent from a International company but still a lot not covered in what they call SCDW/PLDW paying Thb 3500-4500,- monthly in addition to the rental price.????

Probably a hopeless subject when I not read Thai. I Want to rent a car from a Thai car rental (not International) company with relatively good reputation. I want Insurance which cover all aspect of possible incidents which can happen to anyone driving/owning a car. Rental company say 1 class insurance! First how do I know from eventually & hopefully provided insurance documents that it is 1.class and second what is eventually covered in that kind of insurance? Third do the rental companies provide the insurance documents to look through at all?

Thanks for any input.

Really? Running with masks!!!! Do they know how dangerous that is? 

 

That includes a very great risk to create carbon dioxide, that they breath in again. Idiots!

 

That makes the brain function slow down and automatically makes it harder to breath.

Covid 19 deaths worldwide 880,000- running with mask deaths ?

Phuket has the advantage of having world-class safety and travel facilities.

????aha ....that's probably why it has been the hardest hit province by covid-19 after Bangkok????

Stop the show for a while, and spend a few dollars on testing and upgrading the health system instead of on glamor and empty political decisions will take them a long way to welcome tourists again.
