So, I did my first TM-30 online and everything went fine. I asked my wife to register and It tooks about 3 weeks to receive the password. She was not sure about the documentation we had to submit so she submitted her ID card and blue book main page. The house number is the number in the blue book. 

 

For the first online report, I had to assist her and it took about 5 minutes. They ask to scan the barcode at the bottom of the main passport page. Once two rectangle appear around the 2 lines of the barcode press the picture button. It will prefill all information. 

 

Then you need to enter the tm6 departure card number and select the border crossing of the entry stamp and the date. Finally the right visa type and expiry date need to be selected. 

 

After my wife pressed the submit button the system simply said "completed". Another satisfied customer. We saved 3h drive that we did to complete the first TM-30. I use Suphan Buri office.

be sure to take a phone charger with you whenever travelling, especially if you may need an overnight stay at a hospital

3 weeks, this is 3 weekends so i be stuck in my room for 3 weeks

 

I received the password for the Section 38 online app 'yey' 

 

The  problem with the online app is that there are no notifications to let the user know what is going on throughout the process.  

 

1. First I downloaded the app and applied and submitted the forms.
2. Then I got an email to say I need to confirm email address. After confirming email address I had to wait about 10 days to get another email saying my account is approved now I need to wait for username and password.
3. About 3 weeks later I received the username and password.
4. During all this time there is no 'notification' or message to correctly display the steps and the process and the potential delays so its easy to see why so many people think this doesn't work.

I deleted the app several times  during this waiting time thinking it didn't work, until I got these intermittent messages and downloaded it again.

 

Also the emails can go to your spam folder too so that also may confuse some people.

Yes. I don't know the correct term if it's not a barcode. The app could read it but I think the information can be manually entered if it doesn't work.

You can manually enter the passport details if you encounter issues using the MRZ option.

So it takes another  2-3 week to receive username and password after been approved ?

I think if your immigration office is very busy like Chaenwattana then it could take several months. My office seems small and never busy and it tooks 3 weeks. It's funny that they designed a website that doesn't leverage automation.

I think it is MRZ, machine readable zone.

For TM30, you need to register and get a password.

The house serial number is the number in the blue book. You will need to submit a picture of the blue book first page and Thai ID card of owner. In my case my wife is not the owner but she is listed in the blue book and it worked.

Where would they get copies from a blue housebook when the owner is a foreigner? No,I think I will forget about this. To much work.

The Foreigner aint the owner. The house will have a book and you are renting from the agent so they should have copies.

The foreigner is the sole owner of the condo. We're not talking about a house out in the sticks. But a foreigner can't rent out his own condo. That's why he need an agent.

My bad, you said house book so I assumed it was a house.

tabien baan  is the teminology you should be using.

Edited August 31, 20196 yr by Don Mega

No, I said condo in my first post. I have never mentioned a house. And you have a tabien baan where ever you're staying. And tabien baan is the housebook. Blue or yellow.

A foreigner can not be registered in a blue housebook. That's why amphoe issues yellow housebooks for foreigners.

I was also surprised by the lack of confirmation. Apparently the app has a function to search Tm30 by date. You could try that if you want to double check.

Yeah checked that and its there.

Was more thinking about all this noise I hear about fine for late reporting, the lease I submitted for registration is dated a month ago and Iam only just now reporting.

for the OP, Did you get confirmation that your TM 30 form was received and recorded by IM? I send one in online (using my computer not the mobile app), and got a message to confirm I wanted to "record the data", which I clicked OK. But I have been checking the  "FNSEARCHHOTELFORM30 : ค้นหาข้อมูลแจ้งรับคนต่างด้าวเข้าพัก(Search TM.30)" for a record of my submission and it keeps saying "ไม่พบข้อมูลที่ต้องการค้นหา" (no record found). So I'm wondering if they are still processing it or whether I didn't submit it properly? Anyone have any other experience?
