Sheryl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 As above - are they open, open half day, or closed? I'm returning from out of the country on the 30th evening so need to file a TM30. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgdanson Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 As I said in a previous post, I have been in and out of Thailand many many times in tha last few years and have NEVER filed another TM30. Move up to Phitsanulok Sheryl, much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajnamoon Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 You have 7 days to report TM30 on return to Thailand from abroad This was confirmed to me by IO at Chiang Mai 2 months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 15 hours ago, Justin Side said: No. He means 31st and 1st. OK, I get the meaning now. However, I do not think that, for instance, the 31st January and 1st February are routinely holidays. Yes, in context, I should probably have picked up the intended meaning, but it would not have been much more typing to write "31/12 & 1/1" rather then "31/01". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an official at one office tells you cannot be generalised to Thailand as a whole. Common variations are TM30 reports only required from hotels (for example, Bangkok) TM30 reports only required when you initially move to a property, or when you move TM30 report needed only after overseas trips (sometimes qualified by saying they are not required for very short trips) TM30 reports required any time you take a trip away from home (even within Thailand for one night) and then return (the letter of the Immigration Act implies this, but it is fortunately only enforced at very few offices) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 24-hours or first-day-open before that, so it may have changed again. 1 hour ago, bkk6060 said: Move and change their entire life due to the filing of a piece of paper?

A TM-30 submission can be a multi-hour ordeal - repeated for every trip-out. The line was often out the door and into the parking lot in Jomtien, and unless on retirement, you better report every, single, time - or else. Some immigration-offices (or certain desks within them) set out to make life hell for anyone not shoveling-in agent-laundered money. Those using agents are not subjected to any of this (reported as of yet, at least). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that imply its less if you change residence ? Who knows... the rules are up to the officer is my conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
