Popular Post AJBangkok Posted August 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2019 there are 35,000,000 tourists a year in Thailand so that’s around 100,000 TM30’s filed every day. If some of those tourists stay in multiple hotels then that number goes up pretty fast . How many people are employed just doing TM30 reports . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap, as time goes by, more landlords will be aware of all of this and they won’t wanna rent out to foreigners. They could be clean as whistles with nothing to hide, but why take the risk of being fined and paraded around on the news for not reporting their foreign tenants.

wobalt Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 The Problem is easily to solve:It is to realize by immigration that even you are only temporarily allowed to stay in the country, you might have a residence here, so you don't change your address when you go i.e in holiday etc. Gesendet von iPhone mit Thaivisa Connect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChouDoufu Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 would be nice if they could upgrade the system to be usable. tried to register online twice, both applications still "waiting for approval - io to respond in 7 days". sent in a form by mail over 5 weeks ago.....nothing. would consider going in person, but that's a 2-1/2 hour trip on public transport each way. was worried staying in a hotel last week in another province would screw up my report. luckily the check in girl declined my passport and asked for gf's id card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matzzon Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 This was like I thought from start. No change. everybody still needs to do the TM30. The petition only made the authorities more irritated. Good work. Now all supporters to this complaining petition feel happy with themselfs. Think we will need another petition. Please create a law that says stop complain or be deported. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rookiescot Posted August 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2019 The only way stuff like this will ever get changed is if our own native countries start treating Thais overseas the same way we are treated here. Its only when things irritate the HiSo's in Thai society that things get done. So when they cant buy a house in London for example then they will get things changed back here. When they have to report to immigration every 90 days something will get done. When they are told they need to keep so much money in a bank account all year something will get done. When they have to self report their own movements around the country something will get done. 12 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post poohy Posted August 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2019 IMHO telling Thais what to do never ends well, they just sulk this applies from Plumbers, electrician to these immigration chappies. Knowing the Thai mentality complete with their limited education and IQ it Stands a perfectly good chance they will out of sheer spite just make life even more difficult. Sadly ....Better the devil you know 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
