soistalker Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm going on a visa run. I'll be out of the country about a day. Do I need to go back down to my local immigration office within 24 hours of return and have the "Notification form for house master, owner or possessor of residence wheee alien has stayed" form filled out and put into my passport? I have one there now from this current stay. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 It depends upon the immigration office you report to. Some only want a new report if you change addresses. The report is due within 24 hours after arrival at your residence not the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is seems to depend upon what you have for your permit to stay. People with extension of stay were not asked for one in most cases. If entering with a visa or a visa exempt entry that want one every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice777 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I was down there the other day extending my Visa. I asked the girl who I get to do my paperwork for me and she said I will probably get fined. But I didn't, I've never done it once but I've not changed address. I have asked before on here and people told me that I probably won't. The Girl did say that someone got fined the other day.But who knows TIT.

Ooladolla Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) A little confused reading this. I travelled back to Australia two weeks ago. When I return in three weeks I assumed that the arrival card stating my place of residence is enough and as such no need to make a trip to my local immigration office. I know my landlord is required to go there and do that. Am I wrong ? I have a visa based on retirement Edited September 18, 2017 by Ooladolla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be far to easy and logical. The TM-30 policy varies by immigration office. If your landlord has been doing this for you, that will work again. I would ask your landlord on your return if they will be doing this. If they do, you are set. If not, let us know your immigration-office and someone here with experience in that office may be able to inform you of that office's particular policy.

And while you are there tell them you want to sell icecream on walking street and let us know if they say no problem. Joking. Better not say that.

I am doing a visa run tomorrow to Cambodia, and will report my address to Jomtiem immigration the next day. What documents will I need? Will photocopies of the lease agreement, my passport and visa pages be enough? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TM-6 is not used according to the immigration police because the info the visitor supplies is often wrong, for various reasons. Not least that Thai addresses have several ways they can be written. My bank book and my driving license both have different ways to describe the location of the house I live in. Best leave it to a Thai. The onus seems to be on the landlord, not the visitor. Happy to be corrected for my own benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case they want her ownership papers, copy of her ID front and back, and up to her to complete the TM30. she does not have to appear herself, but does so, and it seems to help somewhat. You should be OK with the rental agreement and a few rent receipts for good measure. Always bring along every bit of paper relating to your stay, then at least you can get a quick photocopy done, and not have to go through it all Again, two days in a row because of one missing page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your prompt reply, so photo copies of lease agreement, owners I.D, my passport + visa pages, and receipts of rent/ bills of electricity. Hope it's all good! And is it really ok if i report within 48 hours ? Doesn't have to be 24 hours? Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not ask me for this until I said I wasn't renting because I'm shacked up with the 'landlady' so to speak. they need a way to verify there's nothing shifty in my claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so muchIt only appears an issue if you need to go to Immigration i.e. to get a 30 day extension. If you are just leaving the country before needing to do that then it shouldn't be an issue.Plus i would have thought they want the landlord to go there and sort it.

Many thanks They sometimes say not needed after only a visa run because your not away 24hrs, but sometimes they will say need to because left the country. Besides what you say, also copy of ID of room owner signed by owner. Take last electric bill, and ofcourse the two page TM30. That should do the trick. Smile.and offer happiness. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
