Convenient way to report foreigners staying in your property, say immigration

[Maestro]

I see now that the app Immigration eServices is only for the notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days (TM.47)

[AmericanSafety]

If I am flying into BKK and staying at my house, I supply the address to immigration upon arrival. Why would I need to do this a 2nd time?

[dsj]

I have owned my condo for the last 7 years, and I just got around to register online for the 24 hour reporting, after I filled in the form and submitted it, I got the message that Duplicate Accomodation name.

It lets them know where all the legit people following the instructions are. You know, the ones who aren't a threat to national security or committing crimes. The ones who will need to pay the fines when failing to follow the routine they have been programmed to follow.

 

For the people not following the guidelines, they are normally the ones presenting the threats, conducting crime, etc. For them life goes on, authorities none the wiser.

I seem to be way behind.

 

Who needs to fill a TM30?  I stay in Thailand several months a year.  I arrive as a tourist and get a first 30 day extension and then a 60 day extension based on being married to a Thai.  I then go back to Europe or the USA until the following year.  I have never been asked for a TM30.

Not sure when thousands come to teach here for meegre salary.  Even too many who are retiring here.  It's clear that you know only the poorest Thais here.

You need the TM30 to be filed for you. When you go to get your extension they may ask you for it and fine you if it has not been filed. They are now applying this rule. Before, most Immigration officers ignored it.
It is not you responsibility to file it, but that will not stop you being fined

The legal burden of reporting is on the owner of the building, not the occupant. Always been that way. Of course, if the owner can't be bothered/doesn't know how.....

Pleaser see sections 38 and 4 of the Immigration Act. In the quote below from section 4, I have highlighted in bold the definition of House-Master as applicable for a rented residence.

 

“ House Master ” means any persons who is the chief possessor of a house whether in the capacity of owner , tenant , or in any other capacity whatsoever , in accordance with the law on people act.

 

Therefore, in section 38:

House-Master = tenant

Owner = owner

Possessor = tenant

I have done this for years using a browser on my PC. This has been for reporting myself living in my own condo.

 

I downloaded the app and logged in using my old login name and password and everything seems to work fine, well done.

Really ? Can you provide the exact URL ?

Love it. Xenophobia alive and kicking in Thailand. Report foreigners here!!!

 

Just image, just for a second or two, if Australia, UK or US introduced a similar policy.

There would be worldwide outrage.

Because they want you to comply with the law.

 

BTW, if your house is under Chiangmai Immigration's jurisdiction, sounds like could be in for a mountain of woe.

Just put electronic tags on all of us and be done with it.

There's no consideration in that statement - we clearly are better drivers and anybody that says otherwise is a lunatic or a massive Thai apologist!

Yes, because you are committing crimes of syntax and punctuation.

Not a good idea. The authorities will want at least 100,000 baht per bracelet.

Agree.

I don't know where you are based. In CM, after registering on a Friday and having no feedback, I went to the tm30 office on the following Monday and the helpful lady gave me username and password right there.

I had passport and yellow book with me, needed.

Same for me. Entered all info on the website including copy chanote, passport, etc. Now waiting for weeks already to get approved. According to the website info the process should not take more than 7 days.

Some foreigners certainly are. Remember the Erawan Shrine bombing? As I recall it, one of the reasons it took the police so long to find some of the suspected perpetrators was because they had changed addresses several times and the owners or house masters had not reported then via TM-30.

 

If memory serves, it was also after this bombing that we first started hearing that the authorities were going to start cracking down on people not submitting TM-30's.
