Can't think of any guy I knew in the UK that wasn't 'desperate'. Pussy was pretty sparse, and when you did find one, the product was strictly rationed. If you were married and over 40 (or after 2nd kid, whichever came first), you weren't getting anything.

Now they need to worry. The way IOs here do or don't enforce things can change in a minute, and without any public or official notice to anyone. Happens all the time.

Wake Up Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Maybe miscommunication or something. But I do what your friend did all the time and I am not worried about a fine in Bangkok. They don’t want you reporting to CW if you go to a hotel unless you change residences. Something is missing in this story. Not saying anyone is being untruthful but something is missing in the interpretation or facts. ???? Edited May 29, 2019 by Wake Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTXR Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I am renting a condo. The owner is Thai. For the online registration to file TM-30 myself, do I put "apartment" for "type of accommodation"? How can I find the "house number" for my condo unit? It is not on my rental agreement. What do I put for "Position"? "Renter" or "Possessor" are not among the options given.

Nobody can tell you if your IO will apply these rules or ignore them.. Even the same Immigration officer can change the way they apply the rules.

In reality, nothing. Immigration will have no idea you went anywhere. And, your friend will not do a TM 30 on you.

In addition, the system also opens up the corruption, extortion and bribes. It is time that the whole system is comprehensively renewed. While that would be nice, it would defeat the primary-purpose of the system. Who would benefit (financially) from changing it? It would be an error to perceive the purported reason for these policies/actions to be the real reason things as they are. 18 hours ago, mtls2005 said: At the very least, it may be advisable to refile a TM30 just prior to any visit to Immigration, if you've had a domestic situation where some third party (hotel, hospital, etc.) may have filed a TM30 on you. If there are any doubts about missing past TM-30 submissions, a good way to prepare for one's next visit to immigration would be to stay at a hotel you know will report you, then reporting home. The cost would be about the same as the fine, but doesn't give immigration the satisfaction - which might be worth spending a bit more.

Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app If you do not remain in Thailand more than 90 days obviously you do not need to do 90 day reports. The stamp verifying this is your last 'Admitted' stamp. When you say police, which police do you mean? The only ones who should be interested in this matter, should be immigration police, maybe tourist police too.
