DickThrust Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I keep hearing stories of an "app" that can be used to complete TM30. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone provide a link? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) The name of the App is "Section 38. Its another way of accessing the online TM30 system at this website https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/ The App may not be immeadiatly available if your phone is set to home country play store. Links to the APK in the attached thread. Edited July 21, 2019 by Peterw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Dwyer Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I believe it’s called Section 38.Available on android, if you want it on iOS you will have to change your App Store country to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 It has been posted in other topics several times. You have to register to do the TM30 form online and the app is about the saem as the online reporting site. https://extranet.immigration.go.th/fn24online/ Android here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=th.go.immigration.section38&hl=en For IOS do a search on Itunes for it. For both you have to have a address for Thailand on the play store or Itunes to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickThrust Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 What files do you have to attach at the end of the registration process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 why can't they have an app for everything or at least 90 day and TM30 on the same one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickThrust Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Copy of Thai ID and copy of house book apparently. Worked for me, registration complete, now waiting for email confirmation. Fingers crossed. PS I registered in Thai partners name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRToMRT Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 For IOS, even though I have the section 38 app on my phone (although still no password) I have noticed the app has disappeared from the Thai IOS app store. Can anyone else confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After logging out of the U.S. store and logging into the Thai store, I received an "unavailable in this store" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickThrust Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Another query, when submitting TM30 via phone app, there will be nothing to put in ones passport. Any answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 2 hours ago, DickThrust said: Another query, when submitting TM30 via phone app, there will be nothing to put in ones passport. Correct. After submitting go to Search Notification of Residence, enter the week date range of your submittal, select your submittal, do a screen capture. Feel free to place this in your passport if it makes you feel better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickThrust Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thanks for clarification, so to be clear, those who submit TM30 in person do get a paper slip in their passport to confirm submission, those who submit via app do not have any confirmation in their passport - seems strange to me but TIT. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 1 minute ago, DickThrust said: so to be clear, those who submit TM30 in person do get a paper slip in their passport to confirm submission Well, they get a receipt. Whether they choose to staple it into their passport may be a personal choice. Some offices simply re-stamp this receipt for subsequent filing done in person. Maybe owing to the origins of the form itself? The filing is part of your individual record, so can be checked quite easily. Nowadays, the bulk (~ 95%) of the filings are done online, by email and by fax by hotels. These foreigners receive no receipt. 1 minute ago, DickThrust said: those who submit via app do not have any confirmation in their passport Well, I guess they can print out the app or web screen capture and staple it in their passport if they are so inclined. The general idea of the TM30 was that Thais would be reporting foreigners, so foreigners who self-report, weren't really accounted for, nor was there a requirement to prove you self-reported. Now? Who knows what they'll require? A TM30 tattoo? A new TM30 every 90 days? A new TM30 every year? My best guess is that, with a quick scan of your passport, or by entering the passport number, officials/authorites can quickly determine your TM30 status. Having the mobile app in hand, and being able to disply your filing, may or may not be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
