TM 30 online registration - how check status?

[roberta]

Having read that some tenants have been able to register themselves as "possessor" of the apartment for online TM 30 reporting at Bangkok, I filled out the application form and attached copies of passport and rental contract.  This was 3 weeks ago.  I received an email asking me to confirm my email address a day or two later, and confirmed it.  Since then, nothing at all.  I have seen talk of checking status of the application, but cannot find any way to do that on the website. If I have been refused I would like to know so that I can perhaps try again.  Can anyone enlighten me on how to check the status of my current application?

 

Another question; if I am ever able to do the report online, as I would hope, I am concerned that I would still lack the paper evidence, as required for 90 day reports and visa extensions, that I had complied with the TM 30 rules, as I understand that no receipt is provided, not electronically nor by mail.  What might be the solution to this?

1, Click on the register page again and it lets you check your statue. 

2, Do a screen shot of the evidence.

Thank you much.   I did that, and it shows "registration successful".  Good news, I guess, but I cannot log in because I have never received a password. I thought it would come by email, but nothing so far.  Now what...?

Wait. I had to wait about 9 weeks.

I did an application for my wife yesterday. This morning I got the message to verify the email. An hour later I got a user name and password. Haven't tried it out yet but will when I get home, using the wife's phone. I was amazed.

Yes, or if you have a trip lined up wait until you come back from it and put in the date you get back.

I put the arrival date as check in, & left check out blank.  Worked.

So lucky. Still waiting, more than 5 weeks now. Someone else pointed out that the registration process seemed much quicker for Thai applicants. Is your wife Thai?

This helps nothing as long you not mention where you do normaly your TM30.

The waiting times depends extremely on the location. Now Chaeng Wattana seems faster but before a waiting time of more than 1 month was the norm. Now it seems faster for newer regristration. But still not that fast as some other offices.

 

But yes.. only 2 hours depends to the faster ones..

I woulf have thought that "registration successful" would also mean they have sent the email with username and password. Have you checked spam?

Only other thing maybe an incorrect email on their part or your part. But you must have got the first email from them for the email confirmation.

No, many of us are in the same situation. The person who checks our documents and changes our status to 'successful' is probably not the same one who issues passwords.

[roberta]

I too assumed that registration "success" would be accompanied by the nearly simultaneous issue of log-in credentials.  The examination of the documents requires human intervention, and it is time-consuming by an order of magnitude more than the simple issue of codes, which can be generated automatically by the software once approval has been granted.

Now I think it might be that "success" of registration is only an indication that the software has checked that the information has been fully and correctly entered, but the approval or otherwise of the application awaits the inspection by a human being, and that this is the reason for the long delay following the supposed "success".  

[HampiK]

I waited a few weeks till the "registration successful" . After the status change I waited about 1 Day for the login and password.

But I think to remember that some post told they had the "registration successful" fast.. then waited for the login details long...

So it can't be told exactly how this system works (if you even can call this a system!)

Yes. Tried it out last night and logged right in. Need to find what documents are needed to report. I would assume at least the picture page from the passport and the TM6.

Filling in and filing the TM30 report online is super simple.  No need to upload any documents, only need to provide the name of the person staying, sex, birth-date, nationality, passport-number, issue and validity date.  Also the number of the TM6 (the small paper you need to fill in and keep when entering Thailand) needs to be filled in.  Date you arrived also has to be filled in, you can leave the 'check-out' date blank if you do not know when you will be leaving.  That's all.

Best to download the TM30 Excel-file and fill those data in on that Excel-file, which can then be uploaded on the TM30 website.

Next time you do not need to fill in everything again but only what has changed.  Obviously that will be the arrival date and e.g. if you have left and re-entered the country you will have a new TM-6 with different number. 

When the initial data are filled in, any subsequent stays will only take 2 minutes to fill in and upload.

Pretty similar to our experience. Up and running in a few hours start to finish.

 

Generalising (a lot of course):

 

When a Thai person registers online in Thai with their ID card etc, the process often seems to be quick and easy.

 

When a foreign tries to register online they seem to have all sorts of hassles and long waits.

 

Seems Thai data fits nicely into their system . Not unlike many other systems throughout the country either. Thai language, Thai person, Thai ID etc usually has less bugs in the surrounding electronic and manual processes than trying anything as an alien
