I lived in Thailand for years but left a few years ago.

The wife & I are planning a trip back later this year & I

will be on the usual 90 day non Imm O visa. We will stay at the family

home in the country.

 

Does TM30 rules apply to me in this case?

Should we even bother with the TM30?

I will have no need of visiting immigration while there

if not for this.

Since you will not be doing anything at immigration you do not need to worry about doing the TM30 form.

Thank You ubonjoe !

I wouldn’t bother. Worst case, in the unlikely event that immigration pay you a visit, is a fine (up to 2K) if it’s not made. There are no consequences beyond a fine, which should be levied against the people you’re staying with as they are responsible for making the report.

 

 

Well all that advice seems wrong. No disrespect. A friend of mine had her boyfriend come to stay on a O visa. He wrote on his TM 7 where he was staying. She got a fine in the post.. He only stayed a month. She got a 800 baht fine.

That means he applied for an extension at immigration.

The OP stated he would not be doing anything at immigration which is what our advice was based upon.

Thanks again folks & no worries

as I am staying with my wife at our country house and yes no visits to immigration.

We come & leave together so none left behind to fine

Thanks ^ Yes we lived in Thailand for quite a few years &

jumped thru all the hoops. But now on this 90 day or less visit

we really do not plan on it. If it happens to not work out no big deal
