NOPE!

Just another example for incomplete and missleading information. The exemption to report at the local police according article 37(3)(4) of the immigration act is not only for tourist visa holders. Bussines visa and a lot of others are also exempted. But this is not published at this article. 
 
I refere to the article from Bangkok Post and im.igration published im post #72. Unfortunately the article not shoed up here.

But on tourist you never need to do a 90 day report because the maximum you can stay is 90 days. Than you have to leave the country. The 90 days is 60 days at the border if has visa and another 30 days as extension at immi. This extension can only be done once per entry due to visa. You never exceed the 9o days.

 Please not mix tm30 and tm28.
 
TM30 is the form used to repot according section 38. It is the housemaster or hotel where the foreigner  stays. There is NO EXEMPTION for tourists.
 
TM28 is used by the foreinger itself to report according section 37. The exemption resides here. Only here.

Crystal clear, as I will not have to do anything at Immigration, i don’tb have to do a TM30 report.

Surely you understand that "Non O" is an abbreviation for "Non-Immigrant O"? You are not an immigrant, you have no permanent residence in Thailand

What you believe is irrelevant.

Ohh so your now on a smart visa inside a diplomatic passport are you ?? ????????

Your government's view is irrelevant. The Thai government's view is that you are not an immigrant, therefore you have no permanency in Thailand

What isnt true ?? Again I wrote "Anyone who fails to do so, and doesnt leave, is on overstay".. I would have thought someone who qualified for a smart visa would have better reading skills. 

Clearly you are not reading what is written, or what specific part of the conversation(s) are being replied to.. The context of this was about how none of our addresses in Thailand are permanent addresses in the eyes of immigration.  Unless you are a PR or citizenship holder, all other addresses are temporary addresses in the eyes of Thai authorities. So I am at a little bit of a loss what your contributing to that. 
 

The smart visa requires extensions at the end of its period of stay, try skipping the extension is what I said. Anyone who fails to do so, and doesnt leave, is on overstay and will get a hard lesson in where thier 'permanent home' is if discovered. This is what I was emphasising to the person who claims his address is his permanent home, as opposed to other 'temporary addresses'.. Thailand views all non Thais as merely being transient temporary residents, none of which are 'permanent homes' or residency. 
 
The smart visa folks have to do the 90 days reports annually I believe, tho that has nothing to do with what I was talking about. 

Did I mention either of those things ?? 
 
Try re-reading the post you quoted ?? 

 
Both points which Thailand doesnt care about.. These are Thai rules in Thailand.. They determine everyone non Thai as being here only as long as tolerated.. 

Think differently ?? Skip the visa extension and see how much that address remains your own.. 

I'm doing my Multi Entry in Savannakhet next week. The problem is that my return flight gets in to Bkk at 4.30pm, then continue on to Chiangmai. My question is this.
Can l report my TM30 update at Swampy when l arrive, or do l have to do it at Chiangmai lmmigration. If the latter, will l be fined since Monday would be the next business day?

Unless you have PR or citizenship none of them are permanent addresses... They are merely where you stay as a non immigrant or tourist. 

Every time you sleep at a new location, you have changed address.. 

Actually, the text in the police order regarding the TM28/TM30 says it clearly "report new adress when you CHANGE adress". As long as I travel inside Thailand, I never CHANGE my home adress! So actually there is no need to report my return home, as long as my adress is still the same. The solution could be so easy, just make Immigration understand the meaning of the words "change adress". When you move into your new premises, of course you need to report. But reporting ONE TIME only should be enough, until you "change adress" meaning "until you move out of this adress and move into a new premise". It would exclude having to report back anytime into an adress where you already registered yourself when you moved in
 
Unfortunately, some Immigration offices want you to report your adress again even after you only returned from travel or a short trip. THAT is the ridiculous thing, not the duty of reporting your adress to immigration when you MOVE INTO an new adress

I wonder, why you don’t went with your wife through immigration??

Has anyone else been refused by going to KL in the morning and returning in the afternoon? Am wondering if they are clamping down on that. The reason given for my refusal did not make sense to me.

I have three properties and using ME Visa not extensions. So no TM30 , nothing to do with immigration

Thanks, I tried the link and it comes back as “App unavailable”.
 
I’ll have another go next week and thanks for the link. [emoji106]

I am using ME-non-O marriage for that purpose. My wife has permanent residency in Germany and live in our house and work there. 6 months of the year I am going to Thailand to take care of our properties, we invested for our retirement and to work in the region as consultant . Works well for more than20 years. Never filed any report

I think you would be safe enough having filed one TM30. Knowing Nonthaburi office's reputation, I would choose Bangkok as my residence if possible.

Yes. Does of course depend on the immigration offices if they enforce it or not.

Assume you live in a condo in Nonthaburi but working in Bangkok, where you rent a room, where you stay three days during the working week. Then you do what? Every time you return to one place file a new TM30??
