AAArdvark Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I just returned from a domestic trip. I live in CM where the IO told me that I needed to do a TM30 after a domestic travel. The online form is a bit confusing. It almost looks like it is set up for foreign travel. I have attached 2 pages of the pertinent requested information. Here is what I need clarified, or do I just do the stared lines and leave the others blank. check-in date check in where Check-out date check out of what TM6 number would that be my original TM6 Arrival date The date I returned Port of entry my local airport Relation self Spreadsheet do I just use my own information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This surprised me, because the last time i asked they told me it's not required, but seems to be the case now: Edited August 9, 2019 by jackdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the actual online form impossible to fill out. I tried every combination of entries but could not get it correct. i kept getting information in sequence 1 is incorrect but does not tell where the error is. The dates make no sense. For the box labeled check in date, if I enter anything other than today or yesterday I will get an error that it has to be within 24 hours. There is a drop down list, that cannot be avoided, for the port of entry, chiang mai airport is not listed and the search appears to be in Thai only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Check in is date you arrived home. Check out put your until date on permission of stay stamp. TM6 # is current tm6 you have in pp. Date I returned is date you arrived back home. Should be same as entry date stamp if return was from international trip.

AAArdvark Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 It was domestic and there is no place to enter "date I returned". I will try to enter the check out date as you suggested. When the date of arrival and the visa type is entered the expire date of stay is automatically filled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data that gets entered seems correct except the entry for the port of entry does not get entered even if I add it again or leave it blank. There id no entry point for CM airport, only for the immigration office. Edited August 9, 2019 by AAArdvark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "date I returned" But there is a date of arrival. Thinking logically they could be the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you registered you got an immigration department number. I would imagine that is the number to put in there. Mine would be number 2 if I ever get approved.

I used 9 which was the only one on the list except Chiang Mai University. It will accept that in the form but will not enter it in the spread sheet.

I guess it is too much to ask for the error to simply state what the error was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize this reply is not what you specifically asked about.....however what would happen if you disregarded anything to do with tm30, until most recent return to "home" (both domestic and international) then you trot off to CM imm to file tm30 prior to your visit for next extension. Possible? Edited August 9, 2019 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible? Yes it is it is possible but I would be fined. The whole idea about doing it online was to avoid having to go to immigration and having to go there within 24 hours.

guru Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I find the phone app more user friendly than the website. Maybe will work for the fields you are struggling with? App is called section38. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAArdvark Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 So what happens after you fill in the data and click on the record button? How can I tell if something good really happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry2 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I tried the phone app from my BKK flat and it refused to let me download as it said I wasn't in Thailand. PS I know someone has come up with an IT solution to this but seriously these app's & online forms are pathetic. I am sending all mine in by post, why they want perhaps 20 envelopes a year for processing I don't know...,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how can you do it by post within 24 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
